MAG-7 | Cobalt Core (Field-Tested)

The MAG-7 | Cobalt Core (Field-Tested, FT) is a Mil-Spec shotgun skin with a blue, futuristic graphic design. Field-Tested is the most common and cheapest widely-traded grade, adding a layer of honest wear to the tech artwork.

Design

The Cobalt Core is a community finish by PoignantEnvy, built on a futuristic graphic in cool blue tones — an angular, sci-fi styling that modernizes an otherwise plain shotgun. It ships with the line, "Keep him safe, Carmen - The Valkyrie and The Paramour Part 1."

MAG-7 | Cobalt Core (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested runs a float of 0.15 to 0.38. Wear is clearly visible here, with scratches breaking up the surface across the body and grip, though the blue graphics still carry the look. It's the grade many copies land on, and a comfortable balance of price and presence for budget-minded buyers.

MAG-7 | Cobalt Core Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier among the standard weapon grades, above Industrial and below Restricted. It's a common pull from its case, which is a big part of why it stays affordable.

MAG-7 | Cobalt Core Case and Collection

The Cobalt Core comes from The Shadow Collection and drops from the Shadow Case, released in September 2015. Mil-Spec is the case's most common tier, unboxing at about eighty percent (a rate shared among the tier's blue skins), so supply is deep and prices stay low.

MAG-7 | Cobalt Core Patterns

There's no pattern lottery on this finish. The blue graphic prints the same way on every copy, so the paint seed does nothing and no blue-gem example exists to look for. Two Cobalt Cores differ from each other only in wear and float.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ variant is available, minted by the Shadow Case; it logs confirmed kills on a counter that never gets wiped and stays attached through trades and sales. There is no Souvenir version, because Souvenir weapons only appear in Major-tournament packages and this finish was never distributed that way.

MAG-7 | Cobalt Core Price

Field-Tested is one of the cheapest grades of an already budget finish, sitting below the two clean tiers while keeping the blue design obvious — about the most affordable way into the Cobalt Core. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested Cobalt Core look worn?

A moderate amount. Field-Tested brings visible scratching across the body, and the blue graphics lose a little of their Factory New (FN) sharpness. From normal in-game range, though, the cool blue coloring still reads strongly, so the shotgun looks used rather than beaten up, which suits its budget price.

Is Field-Tested the cheapest Cobalt Core?

Close to it. Well-Worn (WW) and Battle-Scarred (BS) can dip a little lower, but they show heavier scuffing, and the price gap on such an inexpensive skin is small. Field-Tested keeps the blue design clearly presentable while staying among the cheapest grades, which is why it's the most traded of the lot.

Is the Cobalt Core a rifle skin?

No, it's a MAG-7 finish, so it lives on the automatic shotgun rather than a rifle. The MAG-7 is a close-range and eco-round weapon, and a cheap, colorful finish like the Cobalt Core is a popular way to dress up that slot without spending much on a low-cost buy.
