AUG | Midnight Lily (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The lily motif and its colour-shifting paint are what set this AUG apart, and in Minimal Wear both remain essentially intact. Any marks are small and sit on edges you rarely notice in a match, so the dark, oily sheen of the body reads the same as on a cleaner copy. It is a practical way to get the full look while paying for a grade one step down.

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.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The main body and stock of the AUG are covered in a tight, scale-like pattern of lilies over a near-black base, painted in pearlescent paint that shifts between green, violet, pink and silver. The same iridescent finish carries onto the pistol grip, the vertical foregrip and the trigger guard, which read lighter and more silvery.

Wear is limited to faint specks on the sharpest edges, such as the rear of the stock and the bottom of the trigger guard. The pattern on the side panels and grips remains whole. At normal distance in game it is practically indistinguishable from Factory New. The shimmer of the paint is unaffected.

Which stickers suit it

Holographic and foil stickers suit the pearlescent paint, especially in green, violet or silver tones that echo the colour shift. Placing them on the dark side panel of the body keeps them readable against the pattern, while very bright or busy designs can clash with the restrained look.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the grade, as the stock edges and grips show the difference first.
• Look at the pistol grip and foregrip in the inspect view, since their lighter finish shows scratches clearly.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so check whether they fit what you want.
• Review any name tag and stickers, as they affect how the dark body reads.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-perfect look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters happy with marks that sit only on hidden edges.
• A sensible middle ground between appearance and cost.
