AK-47 | Wild Lotus (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The green-and-orange lotus design of AK-47 | Wild Lotus keeps its full colour in Minimal Wear, with only faint marks that need a close look to find. The large blossoms on the receiver and stock stay bright, and the peach bands still run unbroken along the rifle. For most buyers this grade looks practically identical to a fresh copy in game.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The whole rifle is painted in a rich green base with darker green leaves spread across the receiver, handguard, magazine and stock. The main accent is a large orange-red lotus on the receiver, with further pink and orange blossoms on the stock, magazine and lower handguard.

Tiny scratches may appear on the magazine edges and the top of the receiver. The flowers, leaves and bands remain fully intact. At normal viewing distance the skin reads as clean. Only close inspection reveals the difference from Factory New.

Stickers and crafts

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within its wear grade, since lower values keep cleaner magazine and receiver edges.
• Look at the magazine edges and the top of the receiver, as they lose paint first.
• On worn copies check how much of the large lotus on the receiver is still intact.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they fit the floral artwork.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a clean-looking rifle and accept marks that are hard to spot.
• Sticker crafters looking for a near-perfect base at a lower grade.
• A sensible balance between appearance and grade.
