Five-SeveN | Forest Night (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Five-SeveN wears a muted blue forest camo applied as a hydrographic, with pale accents on the controls. At Minimal Wear the blotches on the slide still read clearly, and any thin scuffs blend into the dark patches of the pattern. It looks nearly the same as a fresh copy in hand.

Item type: pistol. 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.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The slide and frame are covered in a muted steel-blue base with irregular darker grey-blue blotches, applied as a hydrographic so the camo wraps over the shapes of the parts. The grip is a lighter, slightly mottled pale blue, which makes the lower half look brighter than the slide.

Light scuffs may appear on the top edge of the slide and near the muzzle, mostly hidden inside the dark camo patches. At normal viewing distance the difference from Factory New is hard to notice. The grip, frame and controls remain clean. This grade gives almost the full look while staying more affordable.

Which stickers suit it

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the top edges of the slide and the muzzle, since they lose paint first and show the real state of the copy.
• Check where the float sits within the grade, because a low float in Field-Tested or Well-Worn looks noticeably cleaner on the slide.
• On Souvenir copies, check the applied stickers and their wear, as they change the look of the slide.
• The camo pattern placement varies little, so judge the copy by wear rather than by pattern.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters who are fine with faint scuffs hidden in the dark patches.
• A sensible balance between appearance and cost.
