SCAR-20 | Carbon Fiber (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The appeal of SCAR-20 | Carbon Fiber lies in its quiet texture: a fine carbon fiber pattern on a graphite-grey rifle rather than bright colour. Minimal Wear keeps that texture almost intact, with only faint lightening on a few edges that is hard to spot in play. For many buyers this grade gives the same overall look at a lower entry point than Factory New.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The carbon fiber weave runs along the upper receiver and the long handguard, where the diagonal texture is most visible. The base is a graphite grey, while the stock, pistol grip and magazine carry darker olive-grey tones that keep the rifle uniform.

Minimal Wear can bring slight lightening on the sharpest edges, such as the top rail and the front of the handguard. The carbon fiber pattern itself remains readable across the receiver. In game these marks are barely noticeable, and the rifle still looks close to new. The stock, grip and magazine stay largely clean at this grade.
