FAMAS | Halftone Wash (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin pairs a cool grey base with a light, splashed halftone pattern that resembles water stains, with blue touches on the bolt area and stock. Minimal Wear keeps the overall look practically identical to the cleanest grade, with any marks limited to tiny spots on the edges. It gives nearly the same rifle in hand for a smaller outlay.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

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 receiver and stock are painted mid grey with a pale, dotted halftone wash that spreads in uneven splashes, overlaid with thin dark contour lines. The carry handle repeats the grey base with a lighter speckled texture along its sides.

Small scuffs may appear on the top edge of the carry handle and near the muzzle. The pattern on the receiver, stock and magazine remains intact. At normal viewing distance the difference from Factory New is hard to spot. The blue accents still look fresh.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits inside its wear grade, since lower values within a grade keep the carry handle and magazine cleaner.
• Look at the top of the carry handle and the magazine base first, as these parts chip before the rest of the rifle.
• Check whether the copy is a Souvenir, since that changes how it looks with any applied stickers.
• Review any stickers and name tag, because they stay with the item.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters who accept tiny edge marks.
• Conclusion: almost the same rifle as Factory New for less.
