MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket (Factory New)

The MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket (Factory New, FN) is a Mil-Spec SMG finish built around a muted green forest pattern. Factory New is the top condition it comes in, showing the woodland colors at their sharpest.

Design

A green forest pattern covers the MAC-10, blending muted greens with tree-bark-style texturing for a camouflage-leaning look. The design is credited to the creator Valve, and it carries the flavor line "In the thick of it," a fitting nod to the woodland theme.

MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float on this finish runs from 0.00 to 0.68, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that range. At this grade the green tones look rich and the bark texture stays crisp with no visible scuffing. Because the cap tops out at 0.68 rather than a full 1.0, even the roughest copies of this skin stay milder than a finish with no cap at all.

MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade, the blue tier and the most common rarity band in the game's standard grading system.

MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Boreal Collection, added with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. It isn't tied to any weapon case, so copies come from the collection's own drop pool rather than case unboxing.

MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket Patterns

The Poplar Thicket has no random pattern variation — the forest artwork sits in the same place on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" version to hunt for. Wear and float alone change how a given copy looks.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish exists as a regular version only — there's no StatTrak edition and no Souvenir edition. The absence of Souvenir status comes down to mechanism: Souvenir weapons are only produced from Major-tournament packages, and The Boreal Collection has never been used for one.

MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket Price

Factory New is the priciest grade on the Poplar Thicket's own ladder, the way to get the woodland pattern at its sharpest. It's still a budget pick overall even at this top condition. This skin is available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth the extra cost over Minimal Wear (MW)?

If you want the tree-bark texture and green tones completely free of scuffing, Factory New is the only grade that guarantees it. Minimal Wear looks close to identical in most matches for a smaller outlay, so the upgrade mainly appeals to buyers who like owning the top condition on principle.

Why does the Poplar Thicket never look extremely worn?

The finish is float-capped at 0.68, well short of the game's full 1.0 maximum, so even its lowest grades stay milder than a skin with no cap. That's true across the whole range, from Factory New down to Battle-Scarred (BS).

What are the best gloves for the MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket?

The muted green palette suits an earthy, outdoor-leaning loadout, so green or olive gloves make the best MAC-10 Poplar Thicket glove combo — they blend with the forest pattern instead of fighting it. Brown or tan gloves also work if you want a bark-toned match.
