USP-S | Orion (Field-Tested)

This is the USP-S | Orion in Field-Tested (FT), and it is the most extended wear of the skin on the scale. It spans 0.23 out of 0.50, or 46 percent of the range. The rank is Classified, and the skin belongs to The Huntsman Collection. You can buy the USP-S | Orion with a float anywhere from 0.15 to 0.38.

What the USP-S | Orion looks like in Field-Tested

There is no artwork on it. The slide, frame, suppressor and grip are covered in one flat, dark gray-olive paint. The details are round dark dots and narrow rings on the suppressor, the light steel of the muzzle, and small factory markings on the slide. "USP" is embossed on the grip.

In Field-Tested the bare-metal patches run along the front and rear edges of the slide, the serrations and the raised parts of the grip. The flat surfaces stay almost untouched, yet listings within 0.15 to 0.38 differ noticeably in appearance.

Where the USP-S | Orion came from

The USP-S | Orion appeared in the game on May 1, 2014. Behind it is a Steam Workshop submission titled "Usp-s | Orion", dated March 15, 2014. The reference lists frontaLOBE as the author, and in Valve's catalog the finish is number 313.

What to check before buying

Before taking a USP-S | Orion, buyers look at these points:

• float: the closer to 0.15, the fewer light bare patches on the slide and frame;


• an applied name tag and stickers, if the copy already has them.

There are no pattern variants here, so there is nothing to choose on that count.

Getting the USP-S | Orion

The USP-S | Orion does not appear in CS2 cases. A trade-up into this USP-S takes ten skins of the next rank down from the same collection, and the chance of landing on it is one in four.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The USP-S | Orion has a StatTrak version, and a Souvenir copy can be built in the Souvenir-O-Matic; no packages exist for the skin.

Stickers and craft on the USP-S | Orion

The single-color base leaves plenty of clean space, so a craft can go on the suppressor and the side of the slide. Dark stickers merge into the olive, while light and bright ones stand out.

Who this wear suits

Field-Tested is the pick under these conditions:

• you want a calm USP for CS2 with no artwork and no extra payment for Factory New;


• it matters to you that Battle-Scarred costs 4.2 times as much, while Field-Tested sits lower;


• you choose the float within the wide stretch of 0.15 to 0.38.
