FAMAS | Byproduct (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This FAMAS pairs grey polymer parts with olive-and-gold panels covered in a radiating streak pattern. At Minimal Wear the paint looks almost untouched, with only faint marks on the outer edges visible up close. It gives nearly the same look as the cleanest grade.

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.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The carry handle, upper receiver, rear of the stock and the magazine are painted dark olive with dense gold-yellow streaks that radiate like a burst. The lower body, pistol grip and trigger guard stay in plain grey-beige polymer, framing the painted parts.

Tiny scuffs may appear on the upper edge of the carry handle and the magazine corners. They are hard to spot at normal distance in game. The stock panels and receiver look clean. The overall look is very close to Factory New.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

Which stickers suit it

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the top of a grade show more chipping on the carry handle.
• Look at the magazine and stock corners, as these parts lose paint first.
• The burst pattern is uniform, so pattern placement matters little for this skin.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as they change how the item reads.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a nearly clean FAMAS without paying for the top grade.
• Buyers who accept faint edge marks that are hard to see in game.
• Conclusion: a sensible middle ground between look and cost.
