Souvenir USP-S | Black Lotus (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Black Lotus is recognisable by its dark purple slide with a light flower motif, framed by the grey frame and the perforated silencer. In Field-Tested the paint starts to show scuffs on the slide corners and the top edge, while the lotus itself still reads clearly. The finish keeps its calm, dark character at normal viewing distance.

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

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

Other qualities of this skin: Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The custom paint covers the slide only: a deep violet base with a pale pink and peach lotus near the front and dark, thin branches stretching towards the rear. The frame and trigger guard stay in gunmetal grey, the grip is dark grey with a slight violet tint at the base, and the perforated silencer is left in plain grey.

Scuffs become clear along the top edge of the slide, its corners and around the ejection port. Some branch lines start to fade, while the lotus itself remains readable. In game the slide still looks dark violet with a light flower, with wear visible mostly when inspecting. The central part of the slide sides usually holds up best.

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

Stickers in violet, lilac, pale pink or silver tones match the slide and the lotus. Placing them on the grey frame or near the grip keeps the flower on the slide uncovered. Holographic or muted dark stickers suit the calm look better than bright saturated colours.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since the whole design sits on the slide and wear there is easy to see.
• Inspect the slide edges, top and ejection port area, as these lose paint first.
• On worn copies, see how much of the lotus remains, because it is the main element of the artwork.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag to make sure they suit the violet slide.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want the recognisable violet slide and lotus for everyday use.
• Buyers who accept visible scuffs on edges in exchange for a lower grade.
• A practical choice for play where the design still reads well.
