FAMAS | Pulse (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin is built on contrast: bright pink fragments break up a dark grey rifle like cracked glass. In Minimal Wear that contrast holds, with only faint marks on edges that are hard to spot without inspecting the model. It keeps nearly the full look of the cleanest grade.

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.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The FAMAS has a dark gunmetal base covered with angular fuchsia and violet fragments. The carry handle and receiver carry the densest pink areas, while the stock shows a radiating cracked pattern like broken glass.

Light scuffs may appear on the top of the carry handle and the edge of the stock. The pink remains saturated and the pattern borders stay clean. In game at normal distance it is practically indistinguishable from Factory New. The magazine and receiver panels look untouched.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since a lower value keeps more pink on the carry handle.
• Inspect the top of the carry handle and the stock edges, where the paint chips first.
• Look at the magazine edges on worn copies, as grey patches there are visible in first person.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as they change the look and the value of a copy.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters who accept faint marks hidden in game.
• A balanced option close to Factory New in practice.
