SCAR-20 | Sand Mesh (Factory New)

The SCAR-20 | Sand Mesh (Factory New) is a Consumer Grade autosniper skin with a gray finish sprayed through mesh fencing and cardboard cutouts used as stencils. Factory New is the top grade, showing that clean stencilled texture at its most defined.

Design

This is a Valve-made finish built by hand — the gray body was spray-painted using mesh fencing and cardboard cutouts as stencils, leaving a subtle grid-and-panel texture across the rifle. It carries a fitting in-game line too: "A predator is a predator, no matter the environment."

SCAR-20 | Sand Mesh (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish spans float 0.06–0.80, so it never rolls below 0.06 and Factory New copies sit right at that floor — genuinely scarce as a result. At this grade the gray stays even and the mesh texture reads at its sharpest, with essentially no scuffing. Given how limited near-mint stock is, this is the exterior collectors chase.

SCAR-20 | Sand Mesh Rarity

Rarity: Consumer Grade — the white tier, the base rung of the weapon grades. It is the lowest band on the ladder, yet this finish's age and Souvenir history carry its value well past what the rarity alone would suggest.

SCAR-20 | Sand Mesh Case and Collection

The Sand Mesh is part of The Dust 2 Collection, which debuted in November 2013. That collection is not a keyed case — its regular finishes come from in-game drops and trade-up contracts — and being an old 2013 set, its thin supply is a major reason the finish carries a premium price.

SCAR-20 | Sand Mesh Patterns

The stencilled design is fixed: the paint-seed index does not change how the mesh grid falls, so every copy carries the same texture. There is no blue-gem seed or rare pattern to hunt here — wear and float are what separate one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There is no StatTrak version of this finish. StatTrak weapons are seeded into cases, and the Sand Mesh comes from a collection with no keyed case, so a kill-counter edition was never produced. A Souvenir version does exist, however — the finish first appeared in Souvenir form in the DreamHack 2013 Souvenir Package, and has since turned up in later Major souvenir packages as well.

SCAR-20 | Sand Mesh Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder, and as a premium SCAR-20 with a scarce, low-float ceiling, a genuine near-mint copy is the priciest and hardest-to-find grade of the lot. It is available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Why is the Factory New Sand Mesh so hard to find?

Its float floor of 0.06 means true Factory New copies sit right at the edge of the range and are genuinely scarce. Add the thin supply of an old 2013 collection and steady collector demand, and near-mint stock stays limited — which is exactly why Factory New commands the top price on this finish.

What gloves suit the Sand Mesh?

Its muted gray-and-sand palette is highly versatile, pairing well with khaki, tan, or gray gloves for a natural desert loadout. Black wraps also slot in as a clean neutral. Because the finish is understated, most earth-toned accessories sit comfortably alongside it without clashing, letting the mesh texture stay the focus.

Is the Sand Mesh pattern the same on every copy?

Yes. The stencilled mesh design is fixed, so the paint seed does not rearrange it and every copy looks the same. There is no rare seed or blue-gem edition to seek out, which means the only choices that matter are the wear grade and the closely tied float value.
