AUG | Chameleon (Factory New)

The AUG | Chameleon (Factory New) is a Covert rifle skin custom painted with the image of a chameleon in black, gray, and green. Factory New is the top grade for it, showing that artwork at its most detailed.

Design

The AUG is custom painted with a chameleon rendered in black, gray, and green tones, a versatile, low-key palette that gives the reptile artwork real depth without shouting for attention. It's a community design by the artist Zaphk, and it comes with the line "Subtlety can make all the difference," which sums up the finish nicely.

AUG | Chameleon (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float on the Chameleon runs from 0.00 to 0.50, and Factory New sits at the bottom of that range. At this level the chameleon artwork shows crisp detail and full color depth across the black, gray, and green shading, with no blemishing to distract from it.

AUG | Chameleon Rarity

Rarity: Covert, the red tier and the highest of the standard weapon grades. It's a genuinely rare pull, sitting above Classified in scarcity.

AUG | Chameleon Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Phoenix Collection and drops from the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, which launched with Operation Phoenix in February 2014. Covert skins from that case land around 0.64% of the time, a rate shared across the tier, and with the case no longer active, most copies now trade hands on the market instead of getting unboxed.

AUG | Chameleon Patterns

The chameleon artwork sits in a fixed position on every copy — there's no seed roll changing where it lands, so there's no "best pattern" or blue-gem version to hunt for. Wear and float are what actually separate copies from one another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this finish exists, adding a permanent confirmed-kill counter that carries through every trade or sale; it's the rarer and pricier of the two regular variants. There's no Souvenir edition, since that category only comes from Major-tournament packages, and this finish has never appeared in one.

AUG | Chameleon Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder, putting it firmly in grail-tier territory for the AUG line. It's the choice for buyers who want the chameleon artwork looking as sharp as possible. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New a big upgrade over Minimal Wear on this finish?

The difference is subtle but real — Factory New keeps the chameleon artwork completely free of blemishing, while Minimal Wear can show the faintest edge marks. Both look sharp at a glance, so it's mainly collectors chasing top condition who pay the extra premium.

Who designed the AUG | Chameleon?

It's a community creation by the artist Zaphk, released as part of The Phoenix Collection alongside Operation Phoenix in February 2014. That community origin is part of why the design feels distinct from Valve's in-house military color schemes.

What are the best gloves for the AUG | Chameleon?

Gray or green gloves lean into the reptile artwork's own palette for a cohesive, low-key loadout, while black leather options play up the darker shading instead. Either direction makes for a strong best AUG Chameleon glove combo, depending on whether you want to match the green or the shadow tones.
