Souvenir MP5-SD | Gauss (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

The MP5-SD | Gauss is built around contrast between dark stamped-steel panels and bright copper ribbing, which keeps it readable even after use. In Field-Tested the copper parts begin to show scuffs along their ridges while the graphite receiver still holds its texture. The worn edges suit the industrial theme and make the gun look like a tool that has been handled.

Item type: smg. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The receiver and handguard are painted in dark graphite gunmetal with fine engraved grooves and panel lines that imitate stamped steel plates. The integrated silencer carries the same dark tone with a ribbed, vented front section and thin teal and copper accents along its length.

The ridges of the copper magazine and grip ribbing show clear scuffs, and the silencer tip is rubbed. Small worn patches start on the upper edges of the receiver. In game the copper-and-graphite contrast still reads well, with a slightly used tone. The flat panels of the handguard and the middle of the silencer remain mostly intact.

Field-Tested quality — float range 0.15–0.38

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

Copper, orange, gold and teal stickers match the existing accents, while holo or foil stickers in warm tones echo the metallic look. The flat dark side of the receiver above the grip is the cleanest spot for placement.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the ribs of the magazine and the grip in the inspect view, since the copper there shows wear first.
• Check the silencer tip and the upper receiver edges for rubbed spots, especially near the top of a wear range.
• Compare float positions within the same wear, because a low float in Field-Tested can look close to Minimal Wear.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as they change how the clean dark receiver reads.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who like the industrial theme with a used, handled feel.
• Buyers looking for a balanced entry into the skin.
• In short: a practical choice where wear fits the design.
