USP-S | Bleeding Edge (Factory New)

The USP-S | Bleeding Edge in Factory New (FN) is a Restricted skin from the Radiant Collection: a red spray-paint pattern on the suppressed pistol. The pistol is meant for Counter-Terrorists. This wear keeps the paint in the best condition, and the skin comes in all five wears.

What the USP-S | Bleeding Edge looks like in Factory New

By Valve's description, the pistol is sprayed with a red pattern, and the pattern itself is called worn. The skin carries the line "That's gonna leave a mark!".

In Factory New the USP-S | Bleeding Edge lies between 0.00 and 0.07. That is about an eighth of the skin's whole scale, which stops at 0.60. Wear is locked in at the drop and never changes, so what the listing shows is what arrives.

Where the USP-S | Bleeding Edge came from

The Radiant Collection was released on March 31, 2025, and the USP-S | Bleeding Edge has been part of it since launch. In the Spring Forward update Valve introduced three new collections: Ascent, Boreal and Radiant. Together they hold more than seventy finishes, from solid colors and gold reliefs to camouflage and custom paint jobs. Its Valve catalog number is 1323.

What to check before buying

Before taking a USP-S | Bleeding Edge, look at these points:

• float: Factory New starts at 0.00, and the lower the number, the cleaner the paint;


• applied name tag and stickers: on the USP-S | Bleeding Edge they stay on the listing;


• StatTrak: this finish has no counter version, so there are no readings to look for on listings.

What the USP-S | Bleeding Edge costs in Factory New

The other wears of this skin stand like this relative to Factory New:

• Minimal Wear is half the price;


• Field-Tested is about five times cheaper;


• Well-Worn is four and a half times cheaper;


• Battle-Scarred is almost six times cheaper.

The order breaks down at the bottom: Well-Worn costs more than Field-Tested, and Battle-Scarred is cheaper than both.

Among Restricted USP-S finishes at Factory New, this one sits in the lower half of the row. USP-S | Royal Guard and USP-S | Guardian stand next to it, both slightly cheaper, while USP-S | Sleeping Potion costs about a third more. USP-S | Ticket to Hell is the cheapest of all, and the top of the row belongs to USP-S | Orange Anolis, USP-S | Overgrowth and USP-S | Road Rash.

Getting the USP-S | Bleeding Edge

The USP-S | Bleeding Edge does not drop from cases. It can arrive as the weekly reward called Weekly Care Package, because the Radiant Collection is on its list.

The skin also comes from a trade-up: the contract takes ten skins one rank lower from one collection. The Radiant Collection has three Restricted skins: besides the USP-S itself, they are Desert Eagle | Mulberry and M4A1-S | Glitched Paint. The chance at this skin is therefore one in three. The skin itself goes into the contract for the Classified AK-47 | Nouveau Rouge.

StatTrak and Souvenir

Valve never released a StatTrak version of the USP-S | Bleeding Edge. Souvenir copies turn up, but there were no souvenir packages for this finish: those were made only for the tournament map collections. Such copies are made with the Souvenir-O-Matic, which puts gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on a regular skin from the inventory.

Stickers and craft on the USP-S | Bleeding Edge

The main color of the pattern is red, so red and orange stickers will blend into it, while white, black and blue ones give contrast. The clean base of Factory New adds no extra wear marks to a build.

Who this wear suits

Buying the USP-S | Bleeding Edge in Factory New makes sense in three cases:

• you want a red pattern with the least wear: float up to 0.07;


• you are assembling a set of Radiant Collection skins where this USP should look its best;


• you need a clean base for stickers, without scratches.

If price matters more, the other four wears cost from two to six times less.
