Souvenir MAG-7 | Heat (Factory New)

Skin overview

MAG-7 | Heat is a Restricted shotgun finish that makes the weapon look as if it has just been pulled from a forge. Dark charcoal panels sit inside bright orange and yellow outlines, and the whole body glows like hot metal. In Factory New the glow is unbroken and every outline stays sharp from muzzle to magazine.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The whole MAG-7 is painted in a hot orange-red tone with bright yellow-orange outlines running along every edge and seam, so the weapon looks heated from within. The receiver carries dark charcoal panels with cut-out shapes, each framed by the glowing lines.

The finish is clean across the whole weapon, with no marks on the muzzle, receiver or magazine. All glowing outlines are continuous and the dark panels have even edges. In game the MAG-7 reads as a solid piece of hot metal from any angle.

Factory New quality — float range 0–0.07

The float of Souvenir MAG-7 | Heat ranges from 0 to 1; the Factory New quality covers 0–0.07 — 7% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The Chroma 2 Collection with 15 skins in total.

It drops from Chroma 2 Case (on sale since Apr 15, 2015).

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 orange, red, gold or black blend with the forge palette, and holo or foil stickers echo the glowing edges. Placing them on the dark receiver panels keeps the outlines visible, while bright blue or green stickers will stand out as a deliberate contrast.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the wear grade, since a low float keeps the outlines noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle, the top edge of the receiver and the bottom of the magazine, where the paint wears first.
• Check whether the glowing outlines on the receiver panels are continuous, as broken lines change the look the most.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the glowing outlines fully intact.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for a warm-coloured build.
• The choice for anyone who wants the forge look exactly as designed.
