StatTrak™ AUG | Plague (Factory New)

Skin overview

AUG | Plague is a Mil-Spec Grade rifle finish in the Gunsmith style, inspired by dark fantasy and horror. The dark body carries a dense pale ornament of veins and curling filigree that looks etched into the metal. In Factory New every fine line of the pattern stays sharp, and the contrast between the near-black base and the silvery lines is at its strongest.

Item type: rifle. 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.

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

The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver, stock and top rail are finished in a dark charcoal base covered with a pale silvery ornament of veins, loops and filigree that reads like engraving. The same pattern runs over the trigger guard and the scope mount, while the barrel and muzzle stay plain matte black.

The ornament is complete on every part, with crisp fine lines on the stock, receiver and trigger guard. The dark base is even and deep, with no grey rubbing on edges. In game the pale tracery stands out clearly against the black body at any distance. The barrel, foregrip and magazine look fresh and uniform.

Stickers and crafts

Silver, white, black and holo stickers in monochrome tones blend with the pale engraving and keep the gloomy mood. A single accent in amber or copper echoes the magazine. Placements on the flat side of the stock read best against the dark base.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the edges of the stock and the trigger guard show the difference first.
• Look at the inspect view of the stock butt and top rail, as these parts lose the fine ornament earliest.
• Check applied stickers and a name tag, which can change how the dark finish looks on the body.
• Compare a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy against a regular one if the counter or the souvenir status matters to you.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the engraved ornament with full sharpness and contrast.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean dark base for monochrome or holo combinations.
• The top choice when the crisp look of the tracery matters most.
