P250 | Contamination (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The skull-and-bones print of this P250 is built on muted yellows and dark olive, so it tolerates scuffing better than clean single-colour finishes. Well-Worn copies carry noticeable bare patches on the slide and the lower grip, and the pattern begins to break up. The overall look turns into a weathered, used pistol.

Item type: pistol. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The whole pistol is covered in one hydrographic print of skulls and bones in pale yellow and cream, separated by dark olive and brown fills. On the slide the motifs run lengthwise and are cut by the ejection port and serrations, while the frame and grip show the largest, most readable skulls.

Bare patches spread over much of the slide, and the bottom of the grip and magazine base start to lose paint. Skull shapes on the slide break into fragments, though the frame keeps a readable pattern. In game the pistol looks noticeably scuffed, with grey streaks across the yellow print. The middle of the frame and the trigger guard hold the most paint.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

What to check before buying

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since low-float copies of a grade keep noticeably more paint on the slide.
• Inspect the muzzle and slide edges first, because that is where the print wears through.
• On Souvenir copies, check which stickers come applied and whether they suit you, as they cannot be swapped without scraping.
• Check for a name tag if you want the original item name to be shown.

Who should buy Well-Worn
