Souvenir SCAR-20 | Storm (Factory New)

Skin overview

SCAR-20 | Storm is a plain sniper rifle finish in which separate parts are spray-painted solid colours: pale mint green on the receiver and handguard, slate blue-grey on the grip, scope and stock details. In Factory New the paint is even and unbroken, so the cool two-tone scheme looks crisp and deliberate. The Factory New slice is narrow for this skin, and buyers pay for the cleanest available look of a simple design.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The upper receiver, top rail and long handguard are painted a pale mint green, while the front of the handguard, trigger guard and pistol grip are slate blue-grey. The magazine is a muted sage green, the scope tube is blue-grey on a green mount, and the barrel and muzzle device stay dark.

Factory New shows the paint fully intact on every part of the rifle. The mint green and blue-grey blocks have clean borders, and the rail edges and scope rims carry no chips. In game the rifle looks exactly like the clean preview. The only thing to compare between copies is the float, since the visible difference is minimal.

What to check before buying

• Factory New covers only a narrow part of this skin's float range, so compare it with low-float Minimal Wear before paying extra.
• On Field-Tested and below, look at the top rail, handguard edges and scope rims, since these chip first and stand out in first-person view.
• Check whether the listing is a regular or a Souvenir copy, as Souvenir versions come with stickers already applied.
• Look at any stickers or name tag on the listing, because on a plain solid-colour finish they change the overall look noticeably.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want every part of the rifle in perfectly even paint.
• Sticker crafters who need a flawless pale base for a colour-matched build.
• Conclusion: the cleanest version of a simple skin, best for those who value pristine condition.
