AWP | LongDog (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The LongDog finish is built on contrast: a pale speckled body, dark line art and red details on the scope, receiver and stock. At Minimal Wear that contrast is practically intact, with only small marks that need a close look to find. It keeps the clean look while usually costing less than the top grade.

Item type: sniper rifle. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The whole rifle is covered in an off-white, cream base with scattered black speckles, running from the long barrel back to the stock. Dark, loosely sketched lines of the LongDog drawing stretch along the receiver and onto the stock, and a red scribbled tag sits on the butt.

Small specks of wear can appear on the barrel and the sharpest edges of the receiver, but they are hard to separate from the printed black speckles. The line art and red details remain intact. At normal distance in game it is indistinguishable from Factory New. The stock, magazine and scope rings look clean.

Which stickers suit it

Red, black and white stickers match the colour scheme, and graffiti-style or hand-drawn designs continue the theme. Placing them on the receiver above the drawing keeps the red tag on the butt visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float within the wear range, since chips on the pale base are easy to see and lower values keep the barrel noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the barrel, bolt area and stock corners in the preview, as these parts lose paint first.
• On Souvenir copies, check the pre-applied stickers and whether they suit the light finish.
• Check any applied stickers or name tag, since they are hard to remove without losing them.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a clean look in game without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters, since the base is still virtually unmarked.
• A sensible balance of clean appearance and cost.
