Negev | Army Sheen (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Negev wears a muted military palette: olive receiver, darker green barrel and a pale sage box magazine with a metallic shine. At Minimal Wear the sheen stays almost intact, with only tiny marks on sharp corners that are hard to spot in a match. It looks practically the same as the cleanest grade at normal viewing distance.

Item type: machinegun. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

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 and Field-Tested.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver and top cover are finished in a metallic grey-green with a faint stamped camouflage that shows mostly as shifts in tone under light. The barrel and its shroud are a darker green, while the box magazine is a pale sage green with a dark side panel that gives the gun a two-tone base.

Minimal Wear adds faint specks on the sharpest edges, such as the sight posts and the corners of the magazine. The receiver panels, barrel and stock surfaces stay clean. At normal distance in a match the difference from Factory New is hardly visible. The sheen and camo tones remain intact.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position, since Field-Tested copies near the cleaner end look close to Minimal Wear.
• Look at the sight posts, magazine corners and stock frame, where the anodized coat chips first.
• On Souvenir copies check which stickers are applied and whether they suit the olive palette.
• Pattern placement barely matters here, as the camo stamp is faint.
