FAMAS | Mecha Industries (Field-Tested)

For the FAMAS | Mecha Industries, Field-Tested (FT) sits in the middle of the wear scale but not of the price scale. The skin is Classified and drops from the Glove Case. Among FAMAS skins of its rank, it stands near the top of the row. In this wear it costs almost five times less than Factory New.

What the FAMAS | Mecha Industries looks like in Field-Tested

The base is almost white: white and light gray with a warm sandy undertone. White panels cover the carry handle, body, stock and grip. Over them run narrow bright red-orange stripes: along the ribs of the handle, by the trigger and on the stock. The trigger is red too, and the barrel is left as bare metal.

Clear panel seams run across the body, like a model kit, with dark gray mesh inserts between the panels. The magazine is dark and carries a cream stripe with a dotted line. A small red emblem sits on the body, but its text cannot be read. Overall the FAMAS looks like a robot's armor plate from a construction set.

Wear is written at drop and does not change. On light panel paint, scuffs are looked for along the seams and the red stripes, and the float within 0.15 to 0.38 sets how many have built up.

Where the FAMAS | Mecha Industries came from

The skin belongs to The Glove Collection. The collection was added to the game in November 2016, and the FAMAS | Mecha Industries arrived with the same update. No author is listed for the finish in the references.

What to check before buying

Before taking a FAMAS | Mecha Industries, look at these points:

• float: the band for the FAMAS | Mecha Industries in this wear runs from 0.15 to 0.38;


• the condition of the white panels and the red lines in the listing's photos;


• stickers and a name tag already on this copy of the FAMAS | Mecha Industries.

There is no choosing by pattern on the FAMAS | Mecha Industries. In this wear it spans a long stretch, 0.15 to 0.38, so comparing several listings makes sense.

What the FAMAS | Mecha Industries costs in Field-Tested

Ratios to the other wears:

• Factory New: almost five times higher;


• Minimal Wear: about a seventh higher;


• Well-Worn: level;


• Battle-Scarred: level.

Below come the FAMAS | Afterimage, the FAMAS | Djinn and the FAMAS | Rapid Eye Movement, and the cheapest in the row is the FAMAS | Eye of Athena.

Getting the FAMAS | Mecha Industries

StatTrak and Souvenir

StatTrak™ copies of the FAMAS | Mecha Industries exist. No Souvenir packages carry this skin.

Stickers and craft on the FAMAS | Mecha Industries

The white panels make a handy field: a colored sticker shows on them at once, while the red stripes only occasionally hint at where to put it. A craft of dark stickers contrasts on the light body, and light ones get lost on the white. The panel seams and the small emblem do not interfere, being thin.

Who this wear suits

Field-Tested on the FAMAS | Mecha Industries is a sensible buy when at least one of these fits:

• you want a light skin with red accents for CS2 at a fifth of the Factory New price;


• wear is not a priority, and you can choose a float near the 0.15 lower edge;


• you are looking for an input for a Covert contract from the collection.

If you want clean paint, look at Minimal Wear (MW): its band, 0.07 to 0.15, is much narrower.
