P90 | Neoqueen (Field-Tested)

The Field-Tested P90 | Neoqueen (FT) is the cheapest Restricted finish this SMG has. Eleven P90 skins hold that rank, and none of them asks less. The wear scale stops at 0.60 here, so the lowest grade takes up less room than usual. The rank is Restricted, and the P90 | Neoqueen drops from the Revolution Case.

What the P90 | Neoqueen looks like in Field-Tested

A color gradient fills the shell: copper orange at the front, pink and lilac through the middle, violet at the tail. Lime green and turquoise marks are scattered across it in graffiti style. On the side panel sits the word CUSTOM in green, next to a yellow warning triangle. A yellow-green shape resembling a grasshopper rides near the back. Barrel, top rail and sights stay dark metal, and the grips are a lilac gray.

Paint covers the whole plastic shell, grip contours included. In Field-Tested the thin green lettering on the raised edges goes first, along with those same contours, where the hand holds the gun. The broad side panels last longer. Once the white plastic underneath shows, the gradient tears: a bald patch stands out far more on a color transition than on a flat background.

Where the P90 | Neoqueen came from

The finish was drawn by a Steam Workshop author going by Madara. He posted the submission on August 31, 2022, and its title — P90: Neoqueen (CS2 Updated) — already carried the note about updated graphics. The Revolution Collection, the P90 | Neoqueen with it, arrived on February 9, 2023. In Valve's catalog of finishes this one is number 1233.

Valve's note on that update kept the set short: seventeen community finishes and gloves as the rare items.

What to check before buying

On a P90 | Neoqueen these are the things to look at before paying:

• the float, which shows how much of the green lettering on the edges has already gone;


• what the previous owner left on it, meaning stickers and an applied name tag.

Every copy carries the same artwork. The grade occupies the band from 0.15 to 0.38. Across that span the rubbing on a P90 | Neoqueen builds up noticeably.

What the P90 | Neoqueen costs in Field-Tested

The ratios to the other grades run like this:

• Factory New asks roughly four times as much;


• Minimal Wear about half again;


• Well-Worn sits level with Field-Tested;


• Battle-Scarred is cheaper by something like a tenth.

Among Restricted P90 finishes this one comes first counting up. The nearest neighbor above it, P90 | Vent Rush, is dearer by a few percent. P90 | Wave Breaker and P90 | Randy Rush follow. P90 | Chopper and P90 | Virus already cost several times more, and the top of the rank belongs to P90 | Astral Jörmungandr.

Getting the P90 | Neoqueen

The main route is the Revolution Case; the finish never went into another set. A trade-up reaches it too: ten skins one rank below, all from the one collection.

StatTrak and Souvenir

Stickers and craft on the P90 | Neoqueen

The P90 | Neoqueen has a StatTrak version. No Souvenir packages were ever made for this finish, because packages only ever covered tournament map collections. A souvenir copy can still be built by hand. The Souvenir-O-Matic puts gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on a normal skin from the inventory. That is why the odd souvenir copy turns up where no package was ever made.

The background is a busy one: a color gradient with green typography over the top. Small stickers get lost in it, and green or turquoise ones blend into the graffiti marks. Large stickers with a dark outline work better, as do cold holograms. For a craft in CS2 the front third of the shell is the convenient part; the rear, with the lettering and the figure, is best left open.

Who this wear suits

This grade is the sensible buy when:

• a loud violet P90 for CS2 is wanted without paying four times over for Factory New;


• choosing by number matters, the two ends of 0.15 to 0.38 looking different;


• the taste runs to acid colors rather than restrained camo.

Closer to 0.38 the green lettering on the edges is ragged already, and the grip contours have lightened. The finish looks most even up to about 0.22.
