MP5-SD | Gauss (Factory New)

The MP5-SD | Gauss (Factory New) is a Restricted finish styled to look assembled from pieces of stamped steel. Factory New is the top grade for this finish, showing the sci-fi metal plating at its sharpest before any wear sets in.

Design

Designer Millenia built Gauss around a gray custom paint job made to look like it's pieced together from stamped steel panels, giving it a distinct sci-fi, sheet-metal identity among MP5-SD skins. The community nickname "SpaceGat 2000" captures the finish's futuristic-yet-scrappy character.

MP5-SD | Gauss (Factory New) Float and Wear

Gauss spans the full 0.00 to 1.00 float range, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of it. At this grade the stamped-steel panel lines stay well defined and the gray tones read at their cleanest, with no scuffing to blur the mechanical detailing.

MP5-SD | Gauss Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the purple tier — a step above Mil-Spec Grade and below Classified and Covert, making it a genuinely uncommon pull from the case.

MP5-SD | Gauss Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Prisma Collection and drops from the Prisma Case, released in March 2019. As a Restricted finish, it comes from a much narrower slice of that case's pool, dropping at around 15.98%, well below the common Mil-Spec rate.

MP5-SD | Gauss Patterns

The stamped-steel design is fixed across every copy — there's no paint seed variation and no "blue gem" version to hunt for. Wear and float are the only things that separate one Gauss from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version exists, pulled from the same Prisma Case, tracking confirmed kills permanently once activated — the count carries over through every trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version, since Souvenir weapons only ever come from Major-tournament packages, and this finish has never been offered in one.

MP5-SD | Gauss Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Gauss price ladder as the cleanest available grade. It's a premium finish overall, so this top grade commands the highest price in the lineup. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth the premium on the Gauss?

If you want the stamped-steel detailing at its crispest, yes — Factory New guarantees no visible wear on the panel lines. Since Gauss is already a premium finish, buyers chasing the cleanest possible copy tend to pay up rather than settle for Minimal Wear.

What does "SpaceGat 2000" refer to?

It's the community nickname tied to the Gauss finish, playing off its sci-fi, stamped-steel look. The name reflects how players read the design as a futuristic take on the MP5-SD rather than a purely military skin.

How rare is the Gauss?

It's Restricted, the purple tier, dropping at around 15.98% from the Prisma Case — far rarer than a Mil-Spec finish, though less rare than Classified or Covert skins from the same container.
