MP5-SD | Gauss (Field-Tested)

The MP5-SD | Gauss (Field-Tested) shows the stamped-steel design with a realistic amount of wear. It's the most common grade for this Restricted finish, balancing an honest, used look with a lower price than the top two grades.

Design

The finish is painted to resemble panels of stamped steel pieced together, a design from Millenia that leans into a scrappy, sci-fi aesthetic rather than a sleek military one. It's the source of the community nickname "SpaceGat 2000," a nod to its futuristic plating.

MP5-SD | Gauss (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Gauss's float spans the full 0.00 to 1.00 range, and Field-Tested falls roughly in the middle of that band. Expect visible scuffing along the stamped-steel panel lines and some softening of the gray tones, though the paneled look remains easy to read at a normal viewing distance.

MP5-SD | Gauss Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the purple tier, positioned above Mil-Spec Grade and below Classified and Covert. It's an uncommon grade to unbox, even compared to more frequently rolled tiers.

MP5-SD | Gauss Case and Collection

This finish comes from the Prisma Case, part of The Prisma Collection released in March 2019. As a Restricted skin, it drops at roughly 15.98% from that case — notably tighter odds than a Mil-Spec finish would have.

MP5-SD | Gauss Patterns

The stamped-steel artwork is fixed on every copy, so there's no paint seed to hunt for and no "blue gem" variant to chase. Wear grade alone accounts for the visible differences between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version is available out of the same Prisma Case and permanently logs confirmed kills, a count that carries over through every trade. Souvenir copies don't exist for this finish, since Souvenir weapons come strictly from Major-tournament packages that it was never part of.

MP5-SD | Gauss Price

Field-Tested is the value pick of the lineup, priced below the two cleaner grades while still showing the stamped-steel design clearly. Gauss is a premium finish overall, so this grade offers the most reasonable entry point into it. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Field-Tested a smart pick for the Gauss?

For most buyers, yes — it costs noticeably less than Minimal Wear or Factory New while still showing the stamped-steel panels clearly, making it the most sensible way into a premium finish without paying top price.

How much wear shows up at Field-Tested?

Expect light-to-moderate scuffing along the panel lines, with the overall stamped-steel layout still clearly visible. It's noticeably more worn than Minimal Wear but well short of the heavier damage on Battle-Scarred.

What best MP5-SD Gauss glove combo works with this skin?

Gray or metallic-toned gloves keep the loadout in step with the finish's stamped-steel palette, echoing the sci-fi, sheet-metal look without clashing with the design.
