MAC-10 | Heat (Field-Tested)

The MAC-10 | Heat (Field-Tested) brings the fiery forge-inspired look into the middle of its wear ladder, the classic balance between price and appearance. It's the grade most players end up with when chasing the design without paying top-tier prices.

Design

The finish is painted to look freshly forged, with orange and ember tones spreading across the body for a warm, hand-worked feel. Community artist joop is behind the design, which carries the fitting flavor line "Make some outlines of your own."

MAC-10 | Heat (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Landing in the middle of the skin's full 0–1.00 float range, Field-Tested shows more visible scuffing across the body, muting some of the fiery gradient's punch compared to the cleaner grades. The orange coloring still comes through, just with a rougher texture layered on top.

MAC-10 | Heat Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the purple tier — an uncommon rarity regardless of the specific wear grade.

MAC-10 | Heat Case and Collection

Part of The Phoenix Collection, the Heat drops from the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case released with Operation Phoenix in February 2014. Restricted skins pull at roughly 15.98% from that case (a rate shared across the tier), and since the case is out of active rotation, most copies now come from the market.

MAC-10 | Heat Patterns

The forge-style design doesn't shift with paint seed — every copy looks the same — so there's no rare pattern or "blue gem" variant to hunt for. Wear and float are what actually separate individual copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

StatTrak is available for this finish, adding a permanent confirmed-kill counter that carries through trades and sales; it's rarer and costlier than the standard drop from the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case. No Souvenir version exists, since those only come from Major-tournament packages and Phoenix has never been one.

MAC-10 | Heat Price

Field-Tested sits in the middle of the price ladder, a clear discount from the top two grades while keeping the fiery design clearly visible — a solid value pick. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Field-Tested dull the orange gradient much?

Somewhat — expect visible scuffing across the body that softens the fiery effect compared to Minimal Wear, though the orange and ember tones still stand out clearly at a glance.

Is Field-Tested a good value pick for the Heat?

Yes, for most buyers — it's noticeably cheaper than the top two grades while still showing off the design well. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred go lower still if price is the top priority.

Can Field-Tested copies be StatTrak?

Yes, StatTrak is available across every wear grade of this finish, including Field-Tested, and it commands a higher price than the standard version thanks to its permanent kill tracker.
