Five-SeveN | Case Hardened (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

A Well-Worn Five-SeveN | Case Hardened keeps the outline of its colour patches, though the blue and gold are noticeably faded. Edges and raised parts of the slide show bare, greyish metal. It reads as an old, handled pistol rather than a fresh piece of tempered steel.

Item type: pistol. 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.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The finish sits mainly on the slide. The front half and the muzzle area are covered in mottled olive, gold and brownish patches.

The top of the slide and its edges show broad worn areas with greyish metal. Both the blue and the gold are clearly faded. In game the pistol looks noticeably older, though the colour split is still visible. The grip shows light scuffing.

Well-Worn quality — float range 0.38–0.45

What to check before buying

• Look at the pattern on the inspect screen, because the amount of blue and gold differs on every copy.
• Check the float within the wear range, since higher values show more scratching on the slide edges and muzzle.
• Inspect the top of the slide closely, as this is where colour loss shows first.
• Note any stickers or name tag and decide whether they suit your plans for the pistol.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Budget buyers who want the recognisable two-tone slide.
• Fans of an aged, handled look on metal finishes.
• A practical option for playing with the skin.
