UMP-45 | Crimson Foil (Factory New)

Skin overview

UMP-45 | Crimson Foil is a Gunsmith finish that splits the SMG into deep metallic red and bright silver blocks. In Factory New the red keeps an even, glossy sheen and the chrome on the front end and magazine reflects cleanly. It is the grade where the contrast between the two colours is sharpest.

Item type: smg. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The upper receiver and handguard are covered in a deep metallic crimson that has a slight foil-like sheen. The front end around the barrel, the top rail and the side rails are finished in bright chrome, and the long magazine is polished silver with dark accents. The lower receiver and trigger area stay dark grey, while the pistol grip repeats the red, and the folding stock and vertical foregrip are left in dark metal and grey. On worn copies the paint goes first on the sharp edges of the receiver, the rail tops, the magazine corners and the grip, and the chrome surfaces lose their shine.

The crimson coat is even across the receiver and handguard, with no visible scuffs. The chrome on the front end, rails and magazine is bright and uniform. In game the red and silver blocks look crisp and clean from any angle. Every part of the gun reads as untouched.

The whole float range of UMP-45 | Crimson Foil is 0–0.68; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (10% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within its wear grade, since a low float in a grade keeps the receiver edges and rails cleaner.
• Inspect the magazine corners and rail tops, as these show wear first on this finish.
• Look at the pistol grip, because rubbed red there is visible on the viewmodel.
• On Souvenir copies, review the applied stickers and how they sit against the red and silver blocks.
