Souvenir USP-S | Blood Tiger (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

This USP-S wears a jungle tiger camouflage in olive and black, with red slashes that give the skin its name. In Field-Tested the busy pattern masks scuffs well, so the pistol keeps its dark, aggressive character even with visible wear on the edges. The float range ends early in this grade, which means even these copies stay fairly tidy.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New and Minimal Wear. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

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 Field-Tested the scratches on the silencer front and slide edges become visible, with patches of bare metal near the muzzle. The raised ridges of the grip start to lose paint and the red there looks less even. The sides of the slide and frame keep most of the pattern. Because the range stops early in this grade, the wear stays moderate and the pistol still reads clearly as Blood Tiger in game.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.3

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 the Field-Tested quality suits

• Budget buyers who want the Blood Tiger look for everyday play.
• Players who like a used finish, as the busy pattern hides scuffs well.
• Those who appreciate that even this grade stays fairly tidy on this skin.
• An affordable entry that still keeps the skin's character.
