MAC-10 | Amber Fade (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This is the most worn grade the skin comes in, and it still keeps its amber-to-green fade on the receiver. In Well-Worn the paint is noticeably thinned on edges and raised areas, giving the body a used, partly bare-chrome look. It suits players who want the colour on their MAC-10 without caring about a clean surface.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Anodized Airbrushed: a coloured coating with an airbrushed design on top; the coating holds while the design fades with wear.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The receiver carries the whole finish: golden yellow at the rear and top, warming into orange along the sides and shifting to a green tint near the front and around the barrel mount. The paint is transparent, so the chrome base gives the colours a metallic sheen.

The paint is worn through along all the edges and raised areas, and patches of bare chrome spread onto the sides. The fade is still present, but it looks thinner and broken up rather than smooth. In game the weapon reads as warm-toned and visibly used. The middle of the flat sides keeps the most colour.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show less chrome on the edges.
• Look at the receiver edges and top ridges in the inspect screen, as these are the first places the paint wears through.
• Compare screenshots of several copies, because the balance of yellow, orange and green on the receiver can differ slightly.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, as they change how the clean amber body looks.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Budget players who want the warm fade on their SMG at the most accessible grade.
• Those who like a used, worn-chrome look on their weapons.
• An entry option for the colour rather than the condition.
