FAQ

How worn does Field-Tested Ultraviolet look?

It picks up visible scuffing and some lighter patches on raised surfaces, more than Minimal Wear but far less than Battle-Scarred. The black-and-purple tones stay largely consistent across the body at this grade.

Is Field-Tested the best-value grade for Ultraviolet?

It's a reasonable middle ground — cheaper than Minimal Wear or Factory New while still showing the color scheme clearly, though the finish overall commands a higher price than most other SG 553 skins regardless of grade.

What does the Ultraviolet flavor text suggest?

"Elegant design paired with brutal intent" plays up the contrast between the finish's sleek, neon-tinged purple look and its use on a combat rifle, framing style and function as two sides of the same design.
