Negev | Desert-Strike (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The tan-and-black high-tech scheme here takes on a rougher look. In Well-Worn the sand-coloured accents are chipped along edges and raised parts, and the pale receiver stripes lose their sharpness. The dark base hides much of the damage, so the gun still looks coherent.

Item type: machinegun. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The receiver and barrel are painted in a dark graphite-olive with a subtle mottled texture, crossed by thin tan stripes and small stencilled markings near the rear. The muzzle brake, carry handle, vertical foregrip and pistol grip are finished in light tan.

The tan parts are chipped across the muzzle, foregrip, carry handle and magazine panel, and the receiver stripes are noticeably patchy. Raised edges of the body and stock show scraped paint. In game the gun reads as darker and more uniform, with tan accents less distinct. The stencils become harder to make out.

Which stickers suit it

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since the tan parts show the difference most clearly.
• Inspect the muzzle brake, carry handle and foregrip, where the light paint wears first.
• Look at the receiver stripes, which lose their sharpness on more worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as they change how the dark receiver looks.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Budget buyers who want the scheme on a Negev.
• Players who prefer a darker, rougher gun.
• An inexpensive entry with character.
