StatTrak™ AK-47 | Redline (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

The recognisable part of AK-47 | Redline is the simple pairing of dark carbon fiber and a red pinstripe that traces the rifle's outline. In Field-Tested the overall look holds up, with light scuffs appearing on the magazine and the front of the handguard. At normal viewing distance the rifle still reads as black with red accents.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the 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 same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The receiver, handguard and magazine are covered in a black carbon fiber hydrographic with a fine woven texture. Thin red pinstripes run along the top of the receiver, around the handguard ends, down the curve of the magazine and along the edge of the stock.

Scuffs appear on the magazine and the front of the handguard, with light wear along raised edges. The red lines are mostly continuous but can show small gaps where scratches cross them. The receiver and stock still look largely clean. In first-person view the scratches on the magazine are the most noticeable detail.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of StatTrak™ AK-47 | Redline is 0.1–0.7; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (38% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

Red, black, white and holographic red stickers fit the black-and-red scheme without breaking it. Placing them along the receiver near the red pinstripe keeps the line of the design intact.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a lower float means fewer scratches on the magazine and handguard.
• Look at the magazine and the front of the handguard in the inspect view, as they wear first on this skin.
• Check whether the red pinstripes are continuous or broken, because they carry most of the skin's look.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, and note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want the Redline look in game without paying for the cleanest grade.
• Buyers who accept light scuffs on the magazine.
• Conclusion: a balanced choice between look and cost.
