USP-S | Neo-Noir (Well-Worn)

The USP-S | Neo-Noir in Well-Worn (WW) covers floats from 0.38 to 0.45. It is a Covert skin from The Spectrum Collection, and this wear costs more than the other four. For a USP with a drawn female face and raspberry neon, it is the highest price among the finish's wears.

What the USP-S | Neo-Noir looks like in Well-Worn

The slide, frame and suppressor are filled with dark brown, almost black. Raspberry and pink fills, white highlights and turquoise strokes run across the slide, while the grip is dark, with purple-blue and turquoise lines. The suppressor is dark, with a mint-white glare on top and a raspberry glow underneath, and the muzzle stays bare steel.

The main element is a face with strands of hair on the rear third of the slide. Wear is noticeable in Well-Worn. The suppressor loses its thin turquoise strokes and white highlights first, followed by the front edge of the slide, the serrations and the raised sight. The wide raspberry fills and the artwork on the grip last longer.

Where the USP-S | Neo-Noir came from

donschi drew the finish. The work reached the Workshop on March 12, 2016, as "USP_Noir", and in Valve's catalog it is number 653. The author described his piece as an exclusive black-and-white illustration with bright coloring for extra effect, and asked for support for drawn skins of this kind.

The USP-S | Neo-Noir came out in March 2017, together with The Spectrum Collection and the Spectrum Case.

What to check before buying

Before paying, compare two points:

• float: across 0.38 to 0.45 the differences between copies are minimal;


• stickers and a name tag, which change hands together with the pistol.

Nothing in the drawing varies from copy to copy.

What the USP-S | Neo-Noir costs in Well-Worn

Here the price runs against the usual order. Every other wear costs less than Well-Worn:

• Factory New by 1.1 times;


• Field-Tested by 1.2 times;


• Minimal Wear by 1.2 times;


• Battle-Scarred by 1.3 times.

Among Covert USP-S skins, this one is the most expensive in this wear. Kill Confirmed, Printstream and The Traitor are cheaper, each by two to four times.

Getting the USP-S | Neo-Noir

The skin drops from the Spectrum Case. A trade-up of ten Classified skins gives a Covert one, and the result comes from the set of the inputs. In Spectrum those are AWP | Fever Dream, CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu and M4A1-S | Decimator.

An ordinary contract does not take a Covert skin any further. It does serve for a craft, though: five Covert skins of one type give a rare special item with the ★ mark. From Spectrum those are the Bowie Knife, Butterfly Knife, Falchion Knife, Huntsman Knife and Shadow Daggers.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The USP-S | Neo-Noir has StatTrak. No Souvenir packages carry this skin, but a Souvenir version can be built through the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the USP-S | Neo-Noir

The dark base of the slide and grip holds light stickers well. Raspberry and turquoise ones continue the palette of the face and the glow, and white ones read along the whole length of the suppressor and the slide.

Who this wear suits

It makes sense to buy the USP-S | Neo-Noir here if:

• you want a USP with a drawn face and neon fills, and wear is not a concern;


• picking by float does not appeal to you, as the band is narrow;


• you are collecting Covert skins for CS2 to craft into a rare special item.
