MAG-7 | Heat (Field-Tested)

The MAG-7 | Heat (Field-Tested) is a Restricted shotgun skin with a molten, forge-fresh orange finish, here carrying a touch of honest wear. Field-Tested is the most common, most affordable way to run this premium design.

Design

At its core the finish is a warm orange gradient painted to mimic metal fresh from the forge, glowing across the darkened body of the MAG-7. It began as a community submission from the artist joop, and it ships with the in-game line: "Make some outlines of your own."

MAG-7 | Heat (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested lands in the middle of the full 0.00–1.00 float range, so light scratching appears along the edges and contact points. The warm gradient still comes through clearly and the forged effect holds, so the shotgun reads well at playing distance. This is the grade most buyers pick for the balance of look and cost.

MAG-7 | Heat Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the purple tier, one step up from Mil-Spec. It's a less common grade to unbox than the blue-tier skins in the same case, which supports its premium pricing.

MAG-7 | Heat Case and Collection

This finish is drawn from The Chroma 2 Collection and unboxes from the Chroma 2 Case, which arrived in April 2015. The Restricted tier drops around 15.98% of the time from the case (the rate is shared across the tier), making it a scarcer pull than the common grades alongside it.

MAG-7 | Heat Patterns

Because the design is fixed, the paint-seed index does nothing here — the orange forge gradient is placed the same on every single copy. There's no blue-gem seed to track down, so wear and float are all that distinguish one Field-Tested unit from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's a StatTrak™ MAG-7 | Heat that adds a confirmed-kill counter, minted through the Chroma 2 Case; it's a rarer, dearer drop, and its counter is permanent, following the item through every trade and never getting wiped. A Souvenir edition doesn't exist — Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages, and this finish was never part of one.

MAG-7 | Heat Price

Field-Tested is the value anchor of the range — cheaper than Minimal Wear while keeping most of the forge glow, which is why it's the grade most players choose. Even so, the finish is premium for a MAG-7, so this is the accessible end of a pricey line. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does the Field-Tested Heat look?

Mildly. Expect light scratching along the edges and contact points, but the warm orange gradient still glows and the forged effect stays intact. At in-game distance it reads well, which makes Field-Tested the sensible balance of appearance and price for this premium shotgun finish.

Is Field-Tested the best value Heat?

For most buyers, yes. It's the cheapest of the common grades and keeps most of the molten look, since the gradient shrugs off light wear. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred cost less again if you want the lowest entry price and don't mind heavier scuffing on the metal.

Can I add a StatTrak counter to my Heat?

Not to an existing skin. StatTrak is a separate variant minted from the Chroma 2 Case, not an upgrade you apply later. A StatTrak™ Heat is its own listing that costs more and tracks confirmed kills, and that counter is permanent — it never gets wiped when the item changes hands.
