USP-S | Flashback (Factory New)

Skin overview

USP-S | Flashback is an olive-drab pistol covered in hand-painted lettering: SHHH! runs along the silencer, BORN TO CLUTCH sits on the slide and a peace sign is drawn on the grip. In Factory New the cream letters have sharp edges and the green base keeps its even, finely mottled texture. The aged, field-equipment look comes from the artwork itself, not from wear.

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.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The silencer carries a large hand-painted SHHH! in cream over a mottled olive-green base with darker speckling. The slide shows BORN TO CLUTCH inside an outlined frame, with smaller handwritten marks near its rear and along its side. The frame and trigger guard continue the same khaki tone, and the grip bears a painted peace sign with a short note near its top. The whole finish is styled as weathered paint on field equipment. On worn copies the cream lettering, the muzzle end of the silencer, the slide edges and the corners of the grip lose paint first.

All lettering on the silencer and slide is complete, with clean outlines. The peace sign on the grip and the small notes on the slide are fully legible. In game the cream text stands out clearly against the olive base. Any scuffed look is part of the painted design.

What to check before buying

• Check the SHHH! lettering on the silencer, since it is the first large element to lose paint.
• Look at where the float sits within the grade, especially in Field-Tested, where low and high copies differ noticeably.
• Inspect stickers on the slide, as they can cover the BORN TO CLUTCH text.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy, since both versions exist for this skin.

Who should buy Factory New
