Souvenir MAC-10 | Stalker (Factory New)

Skin overview

MAC-10 | Stalker is a Covert Gunsmith finish that covers the compact SMG in warm orange and yellow, cut through with black and neon blue stripes and a stylised blue cat on the side of the receiver. In Factory New the artwork is complete, so the small spots, the pink accents and the fine stripe edges stay sharp. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the drawing exactly as the artist laid it out.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver is painted in orange and yellow with dense dark spots and curved neon blue stripes running along the side, and a stylised blue cat with pink details sits towards the rear, next to magenta lettering. The barrel shroud, sights and top rail stay dark, which frames the bright artwork.

The paint is intact on every part of the gun, including the edges of the receiver and the magazine. The spots, stripes and the lines of the cat drawing are sharp and the colours are at full saturation. In game the skin reads as a clean, bright orange and blue weapon. Nothing on the surface looks rubbed or faded.

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

Stickers in blue, yellow or black follow the colour scheme of the finish and blend with the stripes. Holo or neon blue stickers placed on the receiver away from the cat drawing keep the main image visible. Pink or magenta accents can echo the details of the cat and the lettering.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in a worn grade can keep the cat image much cleaner.
• Inspect the cat drawing on the side of the receiver, as it is the focal point of the artwork.
• Check the edges of the receiver and the magazine, which are the first places where paint wears off.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they suit your plans for the skin.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the artwork completely intact.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean, bright base.
• The choice for those who value the drawing in its best state.
