G3SG1 | New Roots (Factory New)

The G3SG1 | New Roots (Factory New, FN) is a Mil-Spec Grade autosniper skin, its body sprayed with a vine-and-flower pattern in shades of green and brown. Factory New is the cleanest grade the finish comes in, showing the floral design at its most vivid.

Design

This is a Valve-made finish. The rifle is spray-painted with a pattern of vines and flowers in various shades of green, warmed with earthy brown, for a natural, organic look that leans botanical rather than tactical. It carries a fitting in-game line: "Room to grow."

G3SG1 | New Roots (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish runs a float range of 0.00–0.55, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that scale. Here the greens read at their most saturated and the vine-and-flower detail stays sharp against the metal, with no scratching on the surface. For the floral pattern shown exactly as intended, this is the grade to reach for.

G3SG1 | New Roots Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier, the first step up from the base weapon grades. It's the most common class of skin within its collection, which keeps this finish approachable.

G3SG1 | New Roots Case and Collection

The finish belongs to The 2021 Dust 2 Collection, which debuted with Operation Riptide in September 2021. There's no weapon case tied to it; regular copies reach the market as collection drops, while Souvenir copies came from Major-tournament souvenir packages rather than any case.

G3SG1 | New Roots Patterns

The design is fixed. The paint-seed index doesn't change how the finish looks — every copy carries the vine-and-flower artwork the same way, so there's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to hunt. Only wear and float separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak version of this finish, so no kill counter exists for it. It does come in a Souvenir form alongside the regular skin — Souvenir copies were handed out through Major-tournament souvenir packages, first the Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package and then later Major packages after it. The page you're reading is the regular, non-Souvenir finish.

G3SG1 | New Roots Price

Factory New sits at the top of the finish's price ladder as the highest grade on offer, a clear step above Minimal Wear (MW). It's a premium pick within the G3SG1 lineup, reflecting how much the floral detail benefits from the cleanest grade. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it for New Roots?

If you want the greens at their most vivid and the vine-and-flower detail sharp against the metal, yes. Factory New is the top grade with the tidiest surface, and the intricate botanical design genuinely benefits from it. If budget matters more, Minimal Wear delivers nearly the same look for a little less.

What gloves go with New Roots?

Its green-and-brown botanical palette suits an earthy, natural loadout, so green or olive gloves are the obvious fit — something like Hand Wraps in a forest or khaki tone. Warm brown wraps also work well if you want to pick up the earthy browns in the vine-and-flower pattern.

Does New Roots have a StatTrak version?

No. This finish was never released with StatTrak, so there's no kill-counting variant to buy. It exists only as the regular finish and as a Souvenir version, the latter coming from Major-tournament souvenir packages rather than any case or drop.
