SSG 08 | Zeno (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Zeno pairs grayscale chrome-like flake with red geometric accents and bold receiver lettering. In Field-Tested the light base starts to show scuffs along the handguard and stock, which gives the rifle a used but still tidy look. The overall colour scheme remains clearly readable.

Item type: sniper rifle. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The receiver and handguard carry a pale, grayscale metallic flake paint, with a red diamond pattern near the front of the handguard and ZENO lettering on the side of the receiver. The skeleton stock repeats the light base and adds red geometric accents near the butt, while the grip stays in a muted grey.

Wear spreads along the handguard edges, stock corners and around the bolt, with greyish scuffs on the light base. The red diamonds may show light rubbing on their edges. In game the rifle still reads as pale and patterned, with a slightly used look.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the pale base shows scuffs more clearly than darker finishes.
• Look at the handguard edges and stock corners in the inspect view, as these lose paint first.
• Make sure the red diamonds and ZENO lettering look the way you want, because they rub off on worn copies.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag and decide whether they fit the light colour scheme.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want the full design at a moderate cost.
• Those who like a slightly used look on a light finish.
