Negev | Prototype (Factory New)

The Negev | Prototype (Factory New) is a Mil-Spec Grade machine gun skin — a white-and-red finish styled as a temporary paint job while the design is being finalized. Factory New is the cleanest grade it comes in, showing the white base and red accents at their sharpest.

Design

Prototype paints the Negev white with red detailing, presented in-game as a placeholder coat applied while the real design is still in development. It's a community creation by the artist ross, and it leans into that unfinished concept with the version-stamp line "v1.2.1, PAT. 3422107."

Negev | Prototype (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float on this finish runs from 0.00 to 0.70, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that band, under 0.07. At this grade the white base looks even and the red accents stay well-defined, with no scuffing to break up the look. It's the grade to reach for if you want the design as tidy as it gets.

Negev | Prototype Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier at the base of the standard weapon grades, the most common rarity in its collection.

Negev | Prototype Case and Collection

Prototype belongs to The Prisma 2 Collection and drops from the Prisma 2 Case, released in March 2020. As the Mil-Spec tier it's the most frequent grade in the case — that odds figure sits near 79.92% across the tier's skins — so copies are plentiful and cheap on the market.

Negev | Prototype Patterns

The finish is fixed — the white base and red detailing land the same way on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" to hunt. Wear and float are the only things separating one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version of this finish exists and adds a confirmed-kill counter, minted when the skin is unboxed from the Prisma 2 Case; it's a rarer, pricier drop, and the counter is permanent — it never gets wiped and carries over through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir version, since Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages and the Prisma 2 Case was never a Major drop.

Negev | Prototype Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder, though as an affordable Mil-Spec skin even the cleanest grade stays budget-friendly. It's the priciest way to own it, but not by much. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is a Factory New Prototype worth it?

For a low-cost finish, yes — Factory New keeps the white base even and the red accents well-defined, which is where the placeholder design looks best. Because the whole skin is inexpensive, the jump to the top grade costs little, so it's an easy pick if you want the tidiest possible copy without spending much.

Which gloves go with Prototype?

Its white-and-red palette suits a bold, high-contrast loadout — white, gray, or red gloves all work, with a red pair picking up the accent color and white or pale wraps matching the base. The minimal placeholder look pairs best with equally simple, uncluttered glove finishes.

Does the paint seed change how Prototype looks?

No. The finish is fixed, so the white coat and red detailing appear identically on every copy regardless of paint-seed index. There's no rare pattern or "blue gem" to chase — the only real variables are the wear grade and the exact float within it.
