Negev | Raw Ceramic (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

Raw Ceramic is a plain sand finish, and at Minimal Wear that plainness works in the buyer's favour. Any small marks sit on edges you rarely notice in a match, so the gun looks nearly identical to a Factory New copy. It suits someone who wants the clean desert look without chasing the lowest float.

Item type: machinegun. 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.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver, barrel shroud, handguard and folding stock are painted in one matte tan shade with no pattern. The muzzle device, top rail and sights carry the same sand colour, while smaller hardware, the feed chute and the ammo box stay dark grey and khaki, framed by tan panels.

At most, faint scuffs appear on the muzzle tip and the sharpest rail edges. The receiver, handguard and stock panels stay fully covered. At normal distance it is indistinguishable from Factory New. The overall colour remains even.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The float of Negev | Raw Ceramic ranges from 0 to 0.75; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.15 — 11% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• On a solid-colour finish the float decides the look, so check where the copy sits within its wear grade.
• Look at the muzzle, top rail and stock corners in the inspect view, since paint chips show there first.
• There is no pattern to hunt, so pay only for float, stickers or a name tag.
• StatTrak™ does not exist for this skin, while Souvenir copies do and usually carry stickers already applied.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-Factory New look while paying less.
• Sticker crafters, since the visible panels stay clean.
• Conclusion: a sensible balance of look and cost.
