Souvenir USP-S | Caiman (Factory New)

Skin overview

USP-S | Caiman is a Classified custom paint job built around a large orange reptile eye with a vertical slit pupil, set at the rear of the slide. Teal scales run along the dark slide, and the grip carries a red scaled texture. In Factory New the eye, the scale edges and the red grip all stay sharp and saturated.

Item type: pistol. 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 and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The silencer is left in plain dark grey and serves as a neutral frame for the artwork. The slide is dark, with a band of teal-blue scales along its side and the USP TACTICAL marking, ending at the rear in a large orange-red eye with a black slit pupil.

The paint is intact on all parts of the pistol. The eye keeps a clean outline and a bright orange gradient, and the teal scales have crisp borders. The red grip shows its full texture without scuffs. In game the pistol looks exactly like the clean preview.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The float of Souvenir USP-S | Caiman ranges from 0 to 0.4; the Factory New quality covers 0–0.07 — 18% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

Souvenir USP-S | Caiman belongs to The Huntsman Collection, which holds 20 skins.

It drops from Huntsman Weapon Case (on sale since Jun 11, 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

Orange, red or teal stickers echo the eye and the scale band and keep the composition unified. Placing them on the dark middle part of the slide works better than covering the eye, which is the main element of the artwork. Dark or holo stickers in green-blue tones also sit well against the grey silencer and frame.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float position within the wear, since a low float in a grade keeps the slide edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the eye at the rear of the slide, as it is the focal point and among the first areas to wear.
• Check the front edges of the red grip for bare metal on worn copies.
• Review applied stickers and any name tag to make sure they suit the orange and teal scheme.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the eye and scales in their cleanest form.
• Sticker crafters who need a flawless base for a matching orange or teal set.
• The pick for those who want the Caiman exactly as designed.
