Negev | Infrastructure (Field-Tested)

The Negev | Infrastructure (Field-Tested, FT) is a Mil-Spec Negev skin printed with a hydrographic of construction, HVAC, and wiring plans, here showing honest use. Field-Tested is the most common grade and a practical way to run the blueprint design.

Design

The finish is a schematic made wearable: the 51st floor's construction, HVAC, and wiring plans applied as a hydrographic across the Negev, echoing the Vertigo map's build-site theme. The design is Valve's own, and it carries the line "All according to plan…"

Negev | Infrastructure (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Across a float range of 0.00 to 0.49, Field-Tested occupies the upper-middle band. At this grade the finish picks up visible scratching on the edges and around the barrel, but the busy line work keeps the schematic readable and the plan detail intact. It's the everyday grade most owners settle on — worn in, but far from ruined.

Negev | Infrastructure Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier, the lowest of the paid weapon grades. It's the most common class within its collection, yet the collection-based distribution keeps overall supply tighter than a run-of-the-mill case skin.

Negev | Infrastructure Case and Collection

This finish is a 2021 Vertigo Collection skin, introduced with Operation Riptide in September 2021, and it has no standalone weapon case. You'll find regular copies through collection drops and trade-ups, and Souvenir copies inside Major souvenir packages. Mil-Spec pulls as the most common tier in those packages, at roughly 79.92% (a rate the tier's skins share).

Negev | Infrastructure Patterns

No pattern lottery applies here. The schematic hydrographic is fixed, printed the same on every copy, so there's no paint seed to gamble on and no blue-gem alignment worth chasing. Wear and float are all that distinguish one unit from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak version was produced — StatTrak counters are minted by weapon cases, and Infrastructure came from a collection and its Major souvenir packages, not a case. The finish does come in both a regular and a Souvenir form; the Souvenir debuted in the Stockholm 2021 Vertigo Souvenir Package and appeared in later Major packages afterward.

Negev | Infrastructure Price

Field-Tested is the more accessible grade of the range, cheaper than the higher conditions while keeping the blueprint fully readable — though the finish stays premium for a Negev overall because of its limited, collection-only supply. It's a sensible pick for the look at a lower outlay. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does a Field-Tested copy look worn?

Only moderately. You'll notice scratching on the edges and near the barrel up close, but the dense schematic line work masks it well and the plan drawing stays readable at a glance in-game. For a lower price, it keeps most of the visual impact of a higher grade.

Is Infrastructure a Souvenir-only skin?

No. It exists as both a regular finish and a Souvenir one. The regular version comes from collection drops and trade-ups within The 2021 Vertigo Collection, while the Souvenir version is the one handed out in Major souvenir packages — first at Stockholm 2021 and later Majors. The page you're reading is the regular finish.

Where does the regular version come from?

Since the collection has no weapon case, regular copies aren't unboxed the usual way — they enter circulation through collection drops and through trade-up contracts that output the finish. That collection-only route is a big reason the skin sits at the premium end of the Negev market despite its Mil-Spec grade.
