Souvenir USP-S | Orion (Factory New)

Skin overview

USP-S | Orion is a Classified pistol finish for the counter-terrorist side, painted in a modern graphic style over the whole gun, suppressor included. In Factory New the paint sits flat and unbroken, so every edge of the design stays sharp. This is the grade for buyers who want the artwork exactly as it was drawn.

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.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The custom paint is applied across the whole pistol: the slide, the frame with its textured grip, the magazine base and the long suppressor. On the reference image the gun reads in muted grey metal tones, with the suppressor showing dimpled detailing along its length and the slide carrying fine engraved markings.

The paint is complete on every part of the pistol, with no visible scratches on the slide or suppressor. Lines in the design stay crisp, including on the edges where wear would normally begin. In game at normal distance the finish looks exactly as designed, and the first-person view of the slide shows no flaws.

Factory New quality — float range 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir USP-S | Orion is 0–0.5; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (14% 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 Huntsman Collection with 20 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

Note: It was removed because one of its creators was also involved with the M4A4 Howl art theft. This is no longer obtainable from the Huntsman Weapon Case, but remains part of The Huntsman Collection and still works with trade-up contracts.

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.

Stickers and crafts

Since the finish is built on clean graphic lines, stickers with simple shapes and restrained colours sit better than busy, multicoloured designs. Placing stickers on the slide keeps them in the first-person view, while a single sticker on the suppressor adds an accent without breaking up the composition.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low value inside a grade looks noticeably cleaner on the slide edges.
• Check the top of the slide and the suppressor rims, because these are the first places the paint wears off.
• Decide between regular, StatTrak™ and Souvenir copies, as all of them exist for this skin.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, and remember that the skin still works in trade-up contracts if you plan to use it there.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the design with every line intact.
• Sticker crafters who need a flawless base for an arrangement.
• Conclusion: the grade for those who value a perfect condition above all.
