Souvenir P90 | Virus (Factory New)

Skin overview

P90 | Virus covers the lower body of the SMG in a lime-green cellular print that looks like tissue under a microscope. In Factory New the green is at full saturation and the thin veins between the blotches stay sharp, so the contrast with the dark metal top rail is as strong as it gets.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Other 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 lower shell of the P90 is covered in a lime-green hydrographic print over a darker grey-green base. This includes the thumbhole grip loop, the area around the trigger and the stock.

The print is intact on every part of the body, with crisp veins and solid lime-green blotches. The edges of the grip loop and stock show no fading. In game the gun reads as a bright green shape against the dark top rail. Everything from the muzzle to the stock looks clean.

Factory New quality — float range 0.06–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir P90 | Virus is 0.06–0.8; Factory New takes the 0.06–0.07 segment (1% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The eSports 2014 Summer Collection with 17 skins in total.

The source is eSports 2014 Summer Case (on sale since Jul 9, 2014).

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

Green, black and toxic-themed stickers continue the infected look of the print, and holo or foil stickers in green tones add shine without clashing. Placing them on the dark upper body keeps them readable against the busy pattern below.

What to check before buying

• Factory New covers only a very narrow slice of this skin's float range, so compare copies across the grades before paying extra.
• Look at the edges of the grip loop and the rear corners of the stock, as these show wear first.
• Check how much bright green falls on the visible side panels, since the hydrographic placement differs between copies.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, as they change the look of the dark top area.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the green print at full saturation with sharp veins.
• Sticker crafters who need the cleanest base for a green-themed build.
• The best choice when the colour and detail matter more than the cost.
