Souvenir PP-Bizon | Thermal Currents (Factory New)

Skin overview

PP-Bizon | Thermal Currents is a Consumer Grade hydrographic finish in warm red and rust tones with silver bird silhouettes scattered over the body. In Factory New the wine-coloured base looks saturated and even, and the pale birds stand out sharply against it. This is the grade for anyone who wants the pattern exactly as designed.

Item type: smg. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

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.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver, handguard and helical drum magazine are covered in an orange-red hydrographic layer with darker wine and brown swirls running through it. Silver-white bird silhouettes are placed across the top of the receiver, the handguard cutouts and the side of the magazine.

The hydrographic layer is intact on every part, from the receiver to the stock frame. The bird silhouettes have crisp outlines and the red base shows no scratches. In game the weapon looks clean and evenly coloured from any distance.

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

Silver, white and holographic stickers echo the bird silhouettes and sit well on the red receiver. Dark red, black or gold stickers keep the warm palette intact, while bright blue or green ones will clash with the wine-coloured base.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the cleaner end show noticeably less edge wear.
• Look at the receiver edges and the rim of the drum magazine, as these lose paint first.
• Check how many bird silhouettes are clearly visible on the side shown in first person.
• Review any applied stickers or name tag, especially on Souvenir copies.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the birds and red base without a single mark.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean background for light-coloured stickers.
• The choice for anyone who wants this finish at its best.
