Souvenir MAC-10 | Nuclear Garden (Factory New)

Skin overview

MAC-10 | Nuclear Garden is a Mil-Spec Grade SMG skin that covers the upper receiver in acid green, with a semi-transparent hydrographic pattern of nuclear skulls and bones laid over a chromed base. In Factory New the green is unbroken and the skull shapes stay sharp, so the chrome underneath gives the whole receiver an even glow. This is the grade where the pattern reads exactly as designed.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The finish is applied to the upper receiver, which is coated in bright acid green with a dense pattern of lighter yellow-green skulls and bones outlined in darker green. The grooves along the top of the receiver pick up the print, and the chrome base under the semi-transparent layer gives the colour a slight sheen.

The green layer is complete across the whole receiver, with no exposed chrome on the edges or ridges. Skull outlines and bone shapes are crisp, including the details running into the top grooves. In game the receiver reads as a solid, bright green block with a visible pattern. The grey grip and magazine look the same as in every other grade.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Black, yellow and toxic green stickers fit the radioactive theme and blend into the skull pattern. Hazard-style or skull-themed designs suit the artwork, and dark stickers stand out well against the bright green receiver.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies at the cleaner end of a grade keep noticeably more green on the edges.
• Look at the front and rear edges of the receiver and the top ridges, where the green wears off first.
• Souvenir copies exist, so check which stickers are applied and whether they suit you.
• Check for a name tag and existing stickers, as they change how the item looks in the inspect view.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the skull pattern fully intact and the green unbroken.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean, bright base for a toxic-themed build.
• Conclusion: the grade for those who want the skin exactly as designed.
