Souvenir Sawed-Off | Zander (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Sawed-Off | Zander is a quiet, natural-coloured skin built from olive, dark striping and wood tones. In Field-Tested the stripes on the receiver are still readable, while the edges and the muzzle cap show visible rubbing. That light wear fits the hand-painted character of the finish rather than spoiling it.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The receiver carries the main artwork: an olive-green field that darkens toward the top, crossed by dark vertical bars like the stripes on a fish's side. The barrel and magazine tube are dark gunmetal and end in a greenish-gold muzzle cap, and the trigger guard picks up the same olive-gold tone.

Scuffs become visible on the receiver edges and corners, the muzzle cap is rubbed and the tops of the pump ribs lighten. The centre of the receiver keeps its stripes clearly. In game the gun reads as Zander without question, with a slightly used surface. The barrel and the flat sides of the stock still look tidy.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of Souvenir Sawed-Off | Zander is 0.05–1; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (24% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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

Olive, green, brown, gold and black stickers match the natural palette of the receiver and the wood-toned furniture. Placing them on the flat side of the receiver keeps them clear of the stripe pattern's edges, while bright neon colours tend to clash with the muted scheme.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within its wear range, as copies at the clean end of a grade look noticeably better than those at the worn end.
• Inspect the receiver edges and the muzzle cap, since they lose paint first and decide how clean the gun looks.
• Look at applied stickers and name tags, and decide between regular, StatTrak™ and Souvenir copies, since all three exist.
• Make sure the dark stripes on the receiver are still distinct if the fish motif is the reason you are buying.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want a recognisable Zander with a natural, lightly used surface.
• Those who feel light wear suits a hand-painted finish.
• A reasonable middle option for regular play.
