Souvenir R8 Revolver | Leafhopper (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

This skin is recognisable by its emerald body, orange-copper rail and trigger, and a contrasting pale green grip. In Field-Tested the green starts to show scuffs on edges such as the muzzle and the top rail, but the overall colour scheme still reads clearly in game. It is a practical middle grade for players who want the look without paying for a pristine coat.

Item type: pistol. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Anodized: the colour is in the metal coating itself, so wear shows mostly as dulling rather than a rubbed-off pattern.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The barrel, frame and cylinder are coated in a deep, glossy green with faint darker and bluish patches from the case-hardened treatment, most visible on the cylinder. The top rail, the under-barrel rail, the trigger and small trim pieces are anodized in a copper-orange that contrasts with the green.

Scuffs become visible on the muzzle, the top rail edges and the cylinder flutes, with light scratches starting on the front of the trigger guard. The copper accents lose a little crispness at their edges. In game the green and copper contrast still reads clearly, and the wear shows mostly when inspecting. The sides of the frame and the grip remain largely clean.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of Souvenir R8 Revolver | Leafhopper is 0–0.651; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (35% 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 Boreal Collection with 29 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

What it costs in each quality

Among 4 skins of the R8 Revolver in the Industrial Grade grade and this quality, this skin is the dearest.

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

Gold, copper and holo stickers in green or orange tones echo the rail accents and sit well on the green frame. Placements along the barrel side or on the frame above the grip keep the copper rail visible. Bright red or purple stickers tend to clash with the calm two-tone scheme.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a grade shows noticeably less damage on the edges.
• Inspect the muzzle, the top rail edges and the cylinder, as these wear first on this finish.
• Check whether the copper trigger and rails still have clean edges, because they carry much of the skin's contrast.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied, and whether the copy is a Souvenir with fixed stickers.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who use the R8 regularly and want the green-and-copper look in hand.
• Buyers who accept visible edge scuffs in exchange for a lower price.
• A practical everyday copy.
