MAC-10 | Red Filigree (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin is easy to recognise by its lace-like red swirls running over the dark receiver of the MAC-10, set against an untouched grey grip and magazine. In Minimal Wear any marks are limited to tiny spots on edges and are hard to find without close inspection. In game it reads the same as a factory-new copy, usually at a lower cost.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The finish covers the receiver and upper body of the MAC-10, from the barrel shroud to the rear, with a dark maroon base and a dense red filigree of flowers, scrolls and curls. The barrel tip stays dark grey, while the grip, magazine, trigger guard and rear stock rail are left in plain grey metal.

Wear appears as a few tiny specks on the front corners and the top edge of the receiver. The pattern itself stays continuous across the sides. At normal distance the gun is indistinguishable from a factory-new one. The sides of the body and the lower grey parts look clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

Which stickers suit it

Gold, deep red and black stickers match the ornamental, vintage feel of the filigree. Placing them on the side of the receiver keeps them on the patterned area, while bright neon colours tend to clash with the dark maroon base.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float shows noticeably cleaner edges on the receiver.
• Inspect the top edge and front corners of the receiver, where the filigree breaks first.
• Souvenir copies come with fixed stickers, so decide whether those stickers suit the dark red finish.
• Look at any applied stickers or name tag, as they add to the look but not always to the value.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-new look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters for whom tiny edge marks do not matter under stickers.
• Conclusion: a balanced choice with almost no visible difference in game.
