MAG-7 | Core Breach (Factory New)

The MAG-7 | Core Breach (Factory New) is a Restricted shotgun skin — a pattern of orange radioactive symbols printed over a black base. Factory New is the cleanest grade on offer, showing that high-contrast orange-on-black look at its sharpest.

Design

Core Breach lays an orange pattern of radioactive hazard symbols across a matte black body, a bold industrial look built on contrast rather than color variety. It's a Valve-made finish, and it carries a fitting in-game line: "Safety protocols have failed."

MAG-7 | Core Breach (Factory New) Float and Wear

Factory New copies sit at the bottom of the 0.00–1.00 float scale, where the black base stays deep and the orange symbols read at their most vivid. There's no scratching to interrupt the pattern, so the radioactive graphic comes through crisp against the dark backing. It's the grade to reach for if you want the contrast at full strength.

MAG-7 | Core Breach Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the purple tier, sitting mid-pack in the standard weapon grades, above Mil-Spec but below Classified. It's a genuinely uncommon pull, which is part of why this finish holds its value.

MAG-7 | Core Breach Case and Collection

This finish is part of The 2018 Nuke Collection, which arrived on September 3, 2018 with the FACEIT 2018 update. The Restricted tier it belongs to drops at roughly 15.98% (a rate shared across the tier's skins), and with the collection long out of the active loop, regular copies are mostly bought on the market.

MAG-7 | Core Breach Patterns

The design is fixed: the paint-seed index doesn't change how the orange symbols land on the black base, so every copy carries the artwork identically. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to hunt here — only wear and float separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak version — StatTrak is minted only by weapon cases, and this finish comes from a collection that was never paired with one. It does exist as both a regular finish and a Souvenir version, though; Souvenir copies were first handed out in the London 2018 Nuke Souvenir Package and later Major souvenir packages.

MAG-7 | Core Breach Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Core Breach price ladder as the highest grade available — a premium pick within the MAG-7 lineup that commands a clear step up over the worn grades. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Factory New Core Breach worth it?

If you want the orange-on-black contrast at its boldest, yes. Factory New keeps the black base deep and the radioactive symbols vivid with no scratching to soften them. It carries a premium over the lower grades, but for a Restricted finish that leans so heavily on contrast, the cleanest copy shows the design best.

Which gloves go with the Core Breach?

Its black-and-orange palette suits a dark, high-contrast loadout, so black gloves keep the industrial vibe while an orange or hazard-toned pair picks up the radioactive symbols. Something with a warm burnt accent ties into the pattern nicely without pulling attention off the gun's own contrast.

Does the pattern matter on Core Breach?

No. The finish is fixed, so the paint seed never changes how the orange symbols sit on the black base — every copy looks the same apart from its wear level. There's no rare seed, no blue gem, and no "best pattern" to chase, which leaves float as the only real variable.
