AUG | Commando Company (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This skin wraps the AUG body and foregrip in a dense spot camouflage of greens with rust-coloured flecks. Minimal Wear keeps the camo almost untouched, and the few marks blend into the busy pattern. It is a practical way to get a near-clean look of this military finish.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The hydrographic flecktarn covers the main polymer body, the stock, the pistol grip area and the vertical foregrip: a light green base with darker green blotches, small reddish-brown dots and black specks. The barrel, the top rail, the scope and the receiver hardware stay black and unpainted.

Small scuffs may appear on the edges of the stock and the foregrip. The marks are tiny and mostly blend into the spotty pattern. In game it is practically indistinguishable from Factory New. The large surfaces of the body stay clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of AUG | Commando Company is 0–0.65; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (12% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since edge wear on the stock and foregrip grows noticeably toward the dirty end.
• The pattern placement changes only slightly between copies and rarely affects value.
• Souvenir copies exist, so check whether the copy you want is Souvenir or regular.
• Look at applied stickers and a name tag, as they change the look of the plain camo.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Sticker crafters looking for a tidy camo base.
• Conclusion: a sensible near-clean compromise.
