USP-S | Desert Tactical (Field-Tested)

The USP-S | Desert Tactical (Field-Tested) is a suppressed USP in a sandy finish, for the Counter-Terrorist side in CS2. The rank is Industrial Grade, and the collection is The Anubis Collection. The skin comes from the Anubis Collection Package and from the Anubis souvenir packages, from Paris 2023 to Austin 2025. The float of Field-Tested (FT) runs from 0.15 to 0.38, which is 23% of the scale from 0.00 to 1.00.

What the USP-S | Desert Tactical looks like in Field-Tested

This is a single-tone sandy brown pistol with no art, a sun-faded desert finish. The frame, slide and grip are light sand with gray-olive streaks. The suppressor is clearly darker, gray-brown, with perforations of round holes.

The accents are small. The trigger is bright red, the slide has blue marks and a short dark marking, the rear of the slide is darker, and the sight is black. There is white lettering at the rear end of the suppressor, but at this scale it cannot be read.

The streaks look like dirt and fading, but they are part of the paint itself. Wear in Field-Tested is set by the float of the listing, and it is fixed when the skin drops.

Where the USP-S | Desert Tactical came from

The skin came out together with the Anubis Collection. Valve added it to the game on April 25, 2023: nineteen skins in the setting of the new map from the Active Duty pool.

What to check before buying

For the USP-S | Desert Tactical it is worth comparing the following:

• the previous owner's stickers and any name tag on the USP-S | Desert Tactical;


• origin of the copy: a souvenir one carries gold tournament stickers.

Copies of the USP-S | Desert Tactical differ only in wear: the art is shared.
