Souvenir SCAR-20 | Cardiac (Factory New)

Skin overview

SCAR-20 | Cardiac is a Classified sniper rifle skin with a vinyl wrap in deep blue and hot orange. The orange burst on the receiver is its most recognisable feature against the dark blue body. In Factory New the contrast is at its sharpest, with saturated colours and clean, glossy surfaces from muzzle to stock.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver is wrapped in dark blue with a bright orange burst across its side, flowing toward the grip and magazine well. The handguard carries the same blue, while the black barrel has an orange and red speckled section near its base.

The wrap is intact on every part, with no scratches on edges or rails. The orange burst and the blue body keep full saturation and crisp borders. In game the rifle looks bright and clean from any angle.

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

Stickers in orange, blue, black or white match the wrap and keep the contrast intact. Placements on the blue handguard or stock let warm accents stand out, while the orange receiver area is better left uncovered.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the upper boundary show more scratches than the name suggests.
• Inspect the muzzle, rail edges and magazine bottom, as these lose the vinyl first.
• Look at the orange burst on the receiver to see how clean the main motif is on your copy.
• Note whether it is a StatTrak or Souvenir version and whether stickers or a name tag are applied.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the brightest version of the design.
• Players building clean sticker crafts on a sniper rifle.
• The choice for buyers who want Cardiac with no compromise.
