Sawed-Off | Serenity (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Restricted Sawed-Off finish pairs a deep turquoise handguard with a small painted scene of a winged woman on the receiver. Minimal Wear keeps that scene and the feathered pattern almost untouched, so the gun reads as clean both in hand and on the inspect screen. It is the grade for buyers who want a near-perfect look without paying for the cleanest one.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The pump handguard is covered in turquoise with a lighter, feather-like pattern that wraps around its whole length, and the front edge shows a warm orange accent. The barrel and the tube under it stay dark gunmetal, which frames the painted parts.

At most, faint specks appear on the front edge of the handguard or the corners of the receiver. They are hard to spot in first-person view and show mainly on close inspection. The figure, the wings and the trigger guard look the same as on a Factory New copy.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in turquoise, white or gold tones match the palette and the figure's dress. Placing them on the handguard or toward the stock keeps the painted scene on the receiver visible.

What to check before buying

• Look at the receiver on the inspect screen, since the winged figure is the main detail and wear near it matters most.
• Compare floats inside the grade, as the handguard edges and trigger guard show differences first.
• Check applied stickers, because placements on the receiver can cover part of the painting.
• For Battle-Scarred, remember the capped range keeps the artwork readable, so compare a few copies before choosing.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want an almost clean look while saving compared to the top grade.
• Crafters for whom tiny specks on the edges do not matter.
• A sensible balance of looks and cost.
