MP7 | Astrolabe (Factory New)

The MP7 | Astrolabe (Factory New) is an Industrial Grade SMG skin with a metallic gray design laid over a dark base. Factory New shows that metallic finish at its most complete and reflective.

Design

Astrolabe goes for a sleek, modern look — a metallic pattern applied over a dark-colored body, closer to circuitry than any camo motif. It's a Valve-made finish, and the in-game flavor text plays right into that reading: "IT'S NOT A CIRCUIT BOARD!"

MP7 | Astrolabe (Factory New) Float and Wear

Astrolabe spans the full 0.00–1.00 float range, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of it. Here the metallic detailing is at its sharpest, with no visible marking anywhere on the surface, so the design's fine lines read exactly as intended.

MP7 | Astrolabe Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade, one step up from the base Consumer tier. It's a common-to-moderate rarity band, not a rare grade, but a step above the most basic finishes.

MP7 | Astrolabe Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Graphic Design Collection, added with The Armory update in October 2024. It's a recent addition with no weapon case attached, so it's obtained through the collection pool or picked up directly on the market.

MP7 | Astrolabe Patterns

The metallic pattern is fixed on every copy of the Astrolabe — there's no paint-seed index shuffling it around, so no "best pattern" exists to chase. Float and wear are the only things separating one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Astrolabe exists only as a regular finish, with no StatTrak version tracking kills and no Souvenir edition. Souvenir weapons are exclusive to Major-tournament packages, and since this finish has never been part of one, there's no Souvenir Astrolabe to find.

MP7 | Astrolabe Price

Factory New tops out the Astrolabe's own price ladder, and the finish overall sits in a premium bracket relative to other MP7 skins — a strong pick for anyone who wants a standout, modern-looking SMG. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New a big step up from Minimal Wear on the Astrolabe?

It's a real but modest jump. The metallic detailing looks marginally crisper at Factory New, but since Astrolabe spans the full float range, Minimal Wear still keeps most of that sharpness for less. Buy Factory New if you want the cleanest possible copy.

When did the MP7 | Astrolabe come out?

It launched in October 2024 as part of The Graphic Design Collection, released with The Armory update. It's one of the newer finishes on the MP7 and doesn't come from any weapon case.

What are the best gloves for the MP7 | Astrolabe?

The gray metallic finish suits a sleek, monochrome loadout, so gray, black, or silver-toned gloves make a strong best MP7 Astrolabe glove combo. Cooler neutral tones keep the tech-inspired look consistent instead of fighting the design's clean, modern feel.
