Sawed-Off | Amber Fade (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This is the most worn grade the skin comes in, and it still keeps the basic idea of a green receiver warming into amber next to wooden furniture. In Well-Worn the airbrushed layer is noticeably thinned on edges and raised areas, and bare chrome patches break up the transition. The colours remain visible from the player's view, so it suits anyone who wants the scheme without paying for a clean surface.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Anodized Airbrushed: a coloured coating with an airbrushed design on top; the coating holds while the design fades with wear.

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

Appearance in Well-Worn

The receiver carries the main effect: transparent paint over chrome fades from olive green near the barrels to copper-amber toward the stock, with a reflective metallic sheen. The trigger guard picks up the green-gold tone of the front of the receiver.

The scuffs from lower grades spread into larger patches of bare chrome on the edges, the trigger guard and the rear of the receiver. The colour transition looks thinner and broken in places. In game the overall green and amber tones are still recognisable, though less saturated. The central parts of the receiver sides keep the most paint.

Well-Worn quality — float range 0.38–0.4

The whole float range of Sawed-Off | Amber Fade is 0–0.4; Well-Worn takes the 0.38–0.4 segment (5% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since a low float in a grade keeps the receiver edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the trigger guard and the receiver edges, as these are the first places where chrome shows through.
• Look at the transition from receiver to stock, where scuffs on worn copies interrupt the amber end of the fade.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag to make sure they match the style you want.

Who should buy Well-Worn
