AUG | Storm (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The finish is recognisable by its pale green shell and blue-grey magazine and grip set against dark metal parts. Minimal Wear keeps that look almost intact, with at most a few faint marks on sharp edges that are hard to spot in a match. For a light solid-colour skin, the difference from the cleanest grade is mostly on paper.

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.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The receiver and stock shell are painted a pale mint green that covers most of the rifle. The magazine and vertical foregrip are a muted blue-grey, which separates them clearly from the body.

Small light scuffs may appear on the sharpest edges, such as stock corners and magazine ribs. The broad green panels and the blue-grey grip stay essentially untouched. At normal viewing distance it is nearly indistinguishable from Factory New. The dark barrel and scope show no visible change.

What to check before buying

• Check the float within the wear range, since paint loss on the light body grows noticeably towards the dirtier end of each grade.
• Look at the stock corners, magazine ribs and grip, as these are the parts that lose paint first.
• The finish has no pattern, so pattern index does not change the look.
• Souvenir copies carry their own printed stickers, so check whether they suit the pale colour scheme before buying.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without chasing the narrowest grade.
• Sticker crafts where tiny edge marks do not matter.
• A sensible balance between appearance and grade.
