USP-S | Night Ops (Factory New)

Skin overview

USP-S | Night Ops is a Mil-Spec Grade pistol finish that covers the whole gun in VariCamo blotches of slate blue, olive, khaki and grey-green. In Factory New the small patches keep crisp borders, so the camouflage reads as a dense, even mosaic from the silencer tip to the grip. This is the cleanest way to own this muted counter-terrorist sidearm.

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.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The whole pistol is covered in a VariCamo hydrographic of small irregular patches in slate blue, olive, khaki, grey-green and darker grey. On the silencer the pattern runs along the full length of the tube, while the slide and frame carry the same mottled mix with the slide markings and serrations showing through. The trigger guard, trigger and textured grip are painted in the same camouflage, so there is no contrasting part anywhere on the gun. On worn copies the paint first leaves the silencer muzzle end, the sharp edges of the slide and the front of the frame, then spreads to the grip and the flat sides.

The camouflage is intact on every part, with sharp borders between the blue-grey, olive and khaki patches. The silencer muzzle and slide edges show no paint loss. In game the finish reads as an even, matte mosaic. Everything from the silencer to the grip looks fresh.

What to check before buying

• Compare the float within the chosen wear, since a low float keeps the silencer tip and slide edges cleaner.
• Look at the silencer muzzle and slide edges in the inspect view, as these are the first places to lose paint.
• Check whether the copy is a Souvenir, because these carry pre-applied stickers that change the look of the gun.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied, as they are part of the item you receive.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Players building a muted, military-style loadout who notice small details in the inspect view.
