AUG | Arctic Wolf (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This AUG pairs a pale cream front end with a faceted grey-and-white body pattern and a dark red magazine. In Minimal Wear the look is almost identical to a fresh copy, with only small marks that need a close inspect to find. It keeps the clean winter finish at a lower grade than Factory New.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The barrel, muzzle device, front part of the receiver and the vertical foregrip are painted in a smooth cream white, with a dotted texture at the bottom of the grip. The rear of the body and the stock carry an angular pattern of white, light grey and darker grey patches that imitates an arctic wolf's coat.

Small specks may appear on the muzzle tip and the lower edge of the foregrip. The stock pattern and the magazine look untouched. At normal playing distance the skin is practically indistinguishable from Factory New. Lower floats in this grade look the cleanest.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since white paint shows dirt and scratches quickly.
• Inspect the muzzle, foregrip and stock edges, as these parts wear first.
• Look at the magazine edges if you want the red accent to stay clean.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they fit the pale finish.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-new look at a lower grade.
• Sticker crafters for whom tiny marks do not matter.
• A sensible balance between appearance and cost.
