G3SG1 | Contractor (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Contractor keeps the same three-colour, part-by-part layout of tan, navy and dark green. Minimal Wear adds only faint marks on edges that are hard to spot in game. It costs less than the cleanest grade while looking nearly identical on screen.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The upper receiver, handguard and scope are painted dark green, while the barrel, muzzle and magazine stay in darker grey-navy tones. The stock, pistol grip, charging handle and scope mount are covered in a matte tan, giving the rear of the rifle a light accent.

Small specks of wear appear at the muzzle and along the sharpest edges of the receiver. The tan parts may show a few tiny marks near the grip. At normal distance in game it is practically indistinguishable from Factory New. The scope, magazine and large painted surfaces remain clean.

Stickers and crafts

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since the muzzle, handguard edges and grip show the difference first.
• Look at the tan stock and grip in the inspect view, because wear is most visible on the lighter colour.
• Note whether the copy is a Souvenir, as such versions may carry pre-applied stickers.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, since they change the look of a plain solid-colour finish.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters who need an almost untouched base.
• The practical middle ground between looks and cost.
