Negev | Bulkhead (Factory New)

The Negev | Bulkhead (Factory New) is an Industrial Grade machine-gun finish wrapped in a brown-and-yellow hydrographic of interweaving pipes. Factory New is the top grade this finish comes in, showing the pipework pattern at its most defined.

Design

The finish applies a hydrographic of interweaving pipes across the Negev's body in browns and yellows, an industrial, machinery-inspired look that suits the gun's bulky frame. It carries the fitting in-game line "Hold strong," leaning into that heavy-duty theme.

Negev | Bulkhead (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float on this finish runs from 0.00 to 0.50, capping the range so even its lowest grades stay milder than a full-1.0 skin. At Factory New the pipe pattern reads crisply and the brown-and-yellow tones hold their contrast, with no scratching over the artwork. For the pipework look at its most defined, this is the grade to grab.

Negev | Bulkhead Rarity

Rarity here is Industrial Grade — the light-blue tier, sitting one step above the base grade of the standard weapon tiers. It's still a common pull, which keeps the finish easy to find and affordable.

Negev | Bulkhead Case and Collection

This skin belongs to The 2018 Nuke Collection, introduced with the FACEIT 2018 update in September 2018. The collection has no dedicated case — regular copies come from in-game drops and trade-ups rather than unboxing, so the market is the usual place to find one.

Negev | Bulkhead Patterns

The design is fixed, so the paint-seed index changes nothing — the interweaving-pipes hydrographic lands the same way on every copy. There's no rare seed or blue-gem roll to hunt; only wear and float separate one from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak version of this finish — StatTrak is minted only through weapon cases, and this collection skin was never packaged in one. It does exist as a Souvenir, though: Souvenir copies first appeared in the London 2018 Nuke Souvenir Package and later Major souvenir packages, so the page here covers the standard, non-Souvenir finish.

Negev | Bulkhead Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's five-grade ladder and carries the highest price of the set, though it stays in affordable, mid-tier territory for a Negev overall. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What makes Factory New the best grade for the Bulkhead?

The Bulkhead's appeal is its industrial pipe pattern, and Factory New shows it without any scratching over the artwork. The brown-and-yellow tones keep their contrast and the interweaving pipes read crisply, so buyers who want the machinery look at its most defined usually reach for this top grade.

Which gloves match the Bulkhead?

Its brown-and-yellow industrial palette pairs well with tan, brown, or olive gloves — a leather or sand-toned pair echoes the rugged theme, while dark or gunmetal wraps keep it grounded. It fits an earthy, utilitarian loadout rather than a bright or flashy one.

What's the difference between the regular and Souvenir Bulkhead?

They share the same pipe artwork, but the Souvenir version carries a shiny Souvenir tag and drops from Major-tournament packages, starting with the London 2018 Nuke package and continuing through later Majors. The regular finish, which this page covers, comes from ordinary collection drops and trade-ups and has no StatTrak variant.
