Souvenir R8 Revolver | Amber Fade (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Amber Fade in Field-Tested still shows its recognisable green, gold and amber bands, but the airbrushed coat begins to thin on the muzzle, the top rail and the cylinder edges. Where the paint wears through, bare chrome appears, which reads as light rather than dark scuffing. The overall colour remains clear at normal viewing distance.

Item type: pistol. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Anodized Airbrushed: a coloured coating with an airbrushed design on top; the coating holds while the design fades with wear.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The barrel and front of the frame are tinted deep green over chrome, turning olive and yellow-gold along the top rail and the middle of the receiver. Towards the back the cylinder, hammer and rear of the frame take on a copper-amber tone, and the trigger guard carries the olive-green part of the fade.

Chrome shows through on the muzzle, along the top rail and on the cylinder flutes and edges. The trigger guard and hammer can start to lose tint at their outer edges. In game the wear reads as bright patches, while the green-to-amber direction of the fade stays obvious. The flat sides of the barrel and frame remain mostly coloured.

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

Gold, holo and foil stickers in amber, green or warm metallic tones match the fade and chrome base. Placing them along the frame keeps the colour transition readable, while dark green or brown stickers blend in for a quieter look.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the chosen wear, since lower values keep more colour on edges.
• Look at the muzzle and top rail first, as these lose paint before other parts.
• Inspect the cylinder flutes and hammer for chrome showing through the amber section.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag so they match the look you want.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want the green-to-amber colours for everyday use.
• Buyers who do not mind bright chrome patches on the edges.
• Conclusion: a sensible play copy with the scheme still clear.
