SCAR-20 | Short Ochre (Factory New)

The SCAR-20 | Short Ochre (Factory New, FN) is a Consumer Grade rifle skin that washes the automatic sniper in layered shades of yellow ochre. Factory New is the cleanest grade the finish comes in, showing those muted yellow tones at their most even and unbroken.

Design

Short Ochre is painted using different shades of yellow, building a weathered ochre wash across the SCAR-20's long frame rather than any logo or graphic. It's a Valve-made finish, and it ships with the in-game line "Here's some new material..." — a nod to its understated, raw-material look.

SCAR-20 | Short Ochre (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish runs a float range of 0.00 to about 0.75. At Factory New the ochre layers read smooth and full, with no scratching to interrupt the yellow tones — this is the grade to reach for if you want the design as even as it gets.

SCAR-20 | Short Ochre Rarity

Rarity: Consumer Grade — the white tier, the entry level of the standard weapon grades. It's the most common class of skin, which is a big part of why this one stays so approachable.

SCAR-20 | Short Ochre Case and Collection

Short Ochre belongs to The Radiant Collection, which arrived with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. The collection's skins are earned through drops rather than a dedicated case, so most copies change hands on the open market.

SCAR-20 | Short Ochre Patterns

This is a fixed design — the paint-seed index does not change how it looks, so every copy carries the yellow-ochre wash the same way. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to chase here; only wear and float set copies apart.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish exists as a regular skin only — no StatTrak version and no Souvenir version. StatTrak arrives through a Case that offers it, and Short Ochre was never packaged with one; Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and this finish was never offered in one.

SCAR-20 | Short Ochre Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's own ladder as the highest grade, yet the whole skin lands firmly in budget territory — one of the most affordable SCAR-20 finishes you can pick up. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth paying up for on Short Ochre?

If you want the ochre layers as even as possible, yes — Factory New shows the yellow tones without any edge scratching. That said, the whole finish is cheap, so the jump from Field-Tested (FT) to Factory New is a small one in absolute terms and comes down to taste rather than budget.

What gloves go with Short Ochre?

Its warm yellow-ochre palette leans into an earthy, desert loadout, so tan, sand, or brown gloves match it best — something like Spearmint's warmer cousins or a plain hand-wrap in a sandy tone. Muted olive works too if you want a field-kit vibe rather than a straight color match.

Is Short Ochre a good first SCAR-20 skin?

It's a solid starter. The price is low, the yellow wash is easy to pair with earthy loadouts, and Factory New copies stay affordable. If you want to dress the SCAR-20 without spending much, this is one of the easiest entries into the rifle's skin lineup.
