Souvenir PP-Bizon | Cobalt Halftone (Factory New)

Skin overview

PP-Bizon | Cobalt Halftone covers the receiver and handguard with an oversized halftone grid of turquoise dots over a dark blue-grey base. In Factory New the dots stay crisp and evenly spaced, and the metallic turquoise reads clean against the darker panels. The drum magazine and folding stock remain plain grey metal, which keeps attention on the patterned upper part of the gun.

Item type: smg. 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 and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver, handguard and front sight block carry a dark blue-grey metallic base with an oversized grid of turquoise halftone dots that change size and density across the panels. Lighter grey rectangles break up the pattern along the upper body, giving it a layered, printed look.

Factory New copies show the halftone grid intact on every painted part, with sharp dot edges and an even metallic sheen. The range for this skin starts slightly above zero, so even the cleanest copies are not perfectly flawless under close inspection. In game the gun looks fresh and the turquoise stands out clearly. The grey drum and stock look the same as in other grades, so the difference is entirely on the upper body.

Factory New wear: float 0.05–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir PP-Bizon | Cobalt Halftone is 0.05–0.45; Factory New takes the 0.05–0.07 segment (5% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Winter Offensive Collection with 13 skins in total.

The source is Winter Offensive Weapon Case (on sale since Dec 18, 2013).

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.

Which stickers suit it

Turquoise, teal and holo stickers in cool blue tones blend with the halftone pattern, while black, white or silver designs keep the look clean. Placing them on the dark side panels of the receiver avoids covering the densest dot areas.

What to look at before you buy

• Compare the float within the chosen grade, since low and high values in Field-Tested look noticeably different.
• Inspect the front sight, top rail and handguard edges, where the paint wears first.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as they change both the look and the value of a copy.
• Remember that the drum magazine and stock are unpainted, so judge condition by the upper body only.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the crispest version of the halftone pattern.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for cool-toned designs.
• Conclusion: the best-looking copy for those who inspect their weapons often.
