USP-S | Caiman (Factory New)

Factory New (FN) is the top band of the USP-S | Caiman: float 0.00 to 0.07, which is 18% of a scale that stops at 0.40. The skin is Classified rank, belongs to The Huntsman Collection and drops from the Huntsman Weapon Case.

What the USP-S | Caiman looks like in Factory New

The slide and frame are steel gray, with a suppressor close to black. Across the rear of the slide runs a strip of turquoise scales, and inside it sits an orange-red reptile eye with a vertical pupil. The grip is bright orange and ribbed, and the magazine base is orange as well. Valve describes the artwork in one line: an image of a caiman applied to the pistol.

In Factory New the scales and the eye are whole, and the gray metal is not rubbed at the edges. The colored zones contrast with it more sharply than in any other wear.

What to check before buying

Picking a particular USP-S | Caiman comes down to these points:

• float: the band is narrow, 0.00 to 0.07, and listings at the two ends differ only by the number;


• stickers from a previous owner and a name tag on the USP-S | Caiman;


• version: StatTrak copies are listed apart from regular ones.

There is no "rare" pattern to pay for: the artwork is identical on every copy.

What the USP-S | Caiman costs in Factory New

Every other wear is cheaper:

• Well-Worn by 1.6 times;


• Minimal Wear by 2.2 times;

Battle-Scarred does not exist for this skin, because the scale ends at 0.40. Among the nine Classified USP-S skins in this wear, the Caiman sits in the middle: three are cheaper and five cost more. The closest above are USP-S | Orion, USP-S | Spiral Glitch and USP-S | Serum, and below it are USP-S | Monster Mashup and USP-S | Cortex.

Getting the USP-S | Caiman

StatTrak and Souvenir

Stickers and craft on the USP-S | Caiman

The gray metal of the slide stays a neutral field where light stickers show best. Turquoise and orange ones echo the scales, the eye and the grip, and blend into them. Dark ones vanish against the suppressor.

Who this wear suits

Factory New is worth buying on the USP-S | Caiman when:

• you want a USP-S for CS2 with a vivid colored zone untouched by scuffs;


• it matters that the float is squeezed into 0.07 and the listings are interchangeable;


• you want a Classified skin from The Huntsman Collection at its cleanest.
