SCAR-20 | Carbon Fiber (Factory New)

The SCAR-20 | Carbon Fiber (Factory New, FN) is an Industrial Grade autosniper finish with a woven black-and-gray carbon look over a graphite base. Factory New is the top grade, showing the fiber texture at its most defined with no wear on the surface.

Design

Carbon Fiber wraps the SCAR-20 in a carbon-fiber hydrographic laid over a graphite base coat, giving a dark, industrial black-and-gray weave that reads more like a material than a paint job. It's a Valve-made finish, and it carries an in-game line about earning your keep: "Just because I carried my team doesn't mean it wasn't a team effort."

SCAR-20 | Carbon Fiber (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish is float-capped at 0.12, so the whole skin lives inside a 0.00–0.12 band and only Factory New and Minimal Wear (MW) exist. Factory New sits at the floor of that range, where the woven carbon texture is at its most defined and the graphite base stays even and dark. It's the sharpest the weave ever looks.

SCAR-20 | Carbon Fiber Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade — the light-blue tier, one of the lowest of the standard weapon grades. It's a common rarity, which keeps the finish approachable and cheap to pick up.

SCAR-20 | Carbon Fiber Case and Collection

Carbon Fiber belongs to The Train Collection, introduced with the "Out with the old, in with the new" update in November 2013. It isn't tied to a weapon case; regular copies come from collection drops, while Souvenir versions were distributed through Major-tournament packages instead.

SCAR-20 | Carbon Fiber Patterns

The carbon weave is a fixed design — the paint seed has no effect on how it lands, so every copy carries the same graphite-over-black texture. There's no blue-gem seed or rare placement to hunt; only the wear grade and float separate one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Carbon Fiber exists as a regular finish and a Souvenir version, but there's no StatTrak edition. Souvenir copies first appeared in the DreamHack 2013 Souvenir Package and have since shown up in later Major souvenir packages handed out across different tournaments — so those aren't tied to a single update or date.

SCAR-20 | Carbon Fiber Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's short two-grade ladder, a small step above Minimal Wear, while the skin as a whole stays affordable for a SCAR-20. It's an inexpensive, understated pick. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Why does the Carbon Fiber only come in two grades?

The finish is float-capped at 0.12, so the game never rolls a copy past that point. Field-Tested (FT) and rougher grades require higher float values that this skin simply can't reach, leaving only Factory New and Minimal Wear on the market — both of which look very close in condition.

Which gloves go with the Carbon Fiber?

Its black-and-gray weave suits a stealthy, monochrome loadout, so dark gloves are the natural fit — black or gray wraps keep the whole build low-key and industrial. If you want a hint of contrast, a pair with a subtle cool-toned accent works without fighting the carbon texture.

Is the pattern index worth checking on this skin?

No. The carbon weave is a fixed design, so the seed doesn't change the look — every copy shows the same graphite-over-black texture. There's no rare pattern or blue gem to filter for, which means the only decision is Factory New versus Minimal Wear on condition and price.
