USP-S | Bleeding Edge (Factory New)

Skin overview

USP-S | Bleeding Edge covers the whole pistol, silencer included, in red spray paint with a darker red grunge texture worked into it. The finish is designed to look roughed up, so in Factory New the scuffs are part of the artwork rather than damage. The red is at its most even here, and the edges and silencer stay fully painted.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The silencer, slide, frame and grip are all covered in the same red spray paint, broken up by darker red speckles and grunge patches. The slide carries a fine dark texture, and the grip shows dark stippling that adds depth to the lower half. The trigger, trigger guard edges and sights stay dark, framing the red body. On worn copies the paint goes first at the silencer muzzle and along the silencer body, then on the slide edges, the trigger guard and the base of the magazine.

The red covers every part of the pistol, including the muzzle and slide edges. The dark speckles and patches are only the printed texture, with no chipped metal. In game the pistol reads as bright, even red. Silencer, slide and grip all look clean.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since the paint on the silencer and slide edges changes the most between neighbouring values.
• Look at the silencer muzzle and body first, as this is where the red paint chips earliest.
• Remember that the dark speckles are part of the design, so judge wear by exposed metal, not by the texture.
• Check applied stickers and name tag, as they affect how the solid red body looks.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the most even red paint on every part.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean red base.
• The pick for buyers who want the finish exactly as designed.
