USP-S | Lead Conduit (Factory New)

Skin overview

USP-S | Lead Conduit is a Gunsmith finish with an engraved dark steel silencer and slide set against a brass-toned frame. The angular engraved ornament on the silencer and the warm metal of the frame and trigger guard are what make it recognisable. In Factory New every engraved line stays crisp and the brass keeps an even, unbroken tone.

Item type: pistol. 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.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The silencer is finished in dark gunmetal covered with an angular engraved ornament, with a band of hexagonal honeycomb texture near its base. The slide is dark steel with fine engraved lines along its side and a small ornamental motif near the rear serrations. The frame, trigger guard and ribbed front of the grip are brass-toned, while the grip panels stay black and textured. The scheme is a calm contrast of dark steel and warm metal without bright colours. On worn copies the brass rubs off first on the frame edges, trigger guard and grip ribbing, followed by the muzzle end and rings of the silencer and the top edges of the slide.

The engraving on the silencer and slide is sharp and fully contrasted. The brass frame and trigger guard have an even tone with no rubbed edges. In game the pistol shows a clean split between dark steel and warm metal. Everything on the weapon looks fresh.

Gold, brass and holo stickers with warm tones echo the frame, while black, dark grey and silver stickers blend with the engraved slide and silencer. Placing stickers on the slide or silencer keeps the brass frame visible as the main accent.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the frame edges and trigger guard, since the brass tone shows wear there first.
• Look at the muzzle end and rings of the silencer to judge how the engraving has held up.
• Compare the float within the chosen wear, as a low value keeps the brass noticeably more even.
• Check stickers and the name tag, and decide whether a StatTrak™ or Souvenir version matters to you.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the engraving and brass in their cleanest form.
• Sticker crafters building a gold or dark themed loadout.
• Choose it if a perfectly even finish matters to you.
