Souvenir USP-S | Blood Tiger (Factory New)

Skin overview

USP-S | Blood Tiger covers the pistol in a dark olive jungle tiger hydrographic, with red streaks cutting across the silencer, slide and grip. In Factory New the green-black stripes stay crisp and the red reads as a saturated, wet-looking colour. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the pattern exactly as designed, with sharp edges between colours.

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.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The whole pistol is wrapped in a dark grey-green base with darker tiger-like stripes running across it in long, curved strokes. The silencer carries the same camouflage with a few bold red streaks along its length, while the slide and frame mix red flashes near the muzzle end and the rear of the slide.

At Factory New the hydrographic is intact on every part of the pistol. The stripes on the silencer and slide have clean edges and the red accents keep full saturation. In game the skin reads as a dark green pistol with sharp red streaks. Higher floats within this grade look the same at normal distance.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir USP-S | Blood Tiger is 0–0.3; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (23% 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 eSports 2014 Summer Collection with 17 skins in total.

The source is eSports 2014 Summer Case (on sale since Jul 9, 2014).

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

Red, black and dark green stickers continue the camouflage without breaking it, and red holographic or foil accents echo the streaks on the slide. Placements on the slide side next to the existing red flashes look the most natural.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since lower values keep the silencer tip and slide edges cleaner.
• Look at the front of the silencer and the top of the slide, as these parts show wear first.
• See whether the red streaks on the slide and grip are crisp, because they carry most of the skin's contrast.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied, as they change the look of the dark slide.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the tiger stripes and red accents in their sharpest form.
• Players building a sticker craft that relies on a clean, even slide.
• Buyers who care about every detail of the hydrographic staying intact.
• The choice for a flawless Blood Tiger.
