Souvenir AK-47 | Head Shot (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This is the graffiti AK with the pearlescent finish: grey lettering, bright pink and green splashes and a sheen that changes colour with the viewing angle. At Minimal Wear the busy pattern hides the few small marks, so in hand it reads almost the same as a fresh copy. It is the grade for a clean look at a lower cost than Factory New.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

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

The remaining qualities of this skin: Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver, handguard, stock, pistol grip and magazine are covered in layered grey graffiti lettering with dark outlines, broken up by pink, lime green and yellow patches. The handguard carries the strongest pink accents, while the stock and magazine show long vertical strokes of lettering.

Small specks of wear may appear on the magazine edges and the lower edge of the stock. They are hard to spot against the dense graffiti. The sheen and colours on the receiver and handguard look the same as on a Factory New copy. In normal play the difference is practically invisible.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir AK-47 | Head Shot is 0–1; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (8% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

Holographic and foil stickers in pink, green or silver echo the pearlescent coat and the graffiti accents. Graffiti-style or tag-like stickers fit the street-art theme. Placements on the receiver above the magazine stay readable against the busy pattern.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float keeps the magazine edges and grip cleaner.
• Inspect the magazine edges and the top of the receiver, as these lose paint first.
• Look at how strong the pearlescent sheen is in the inspect view, because it fades with wear.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as they change how the busy graffiti reads.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want an almost new look and save compared to Factory New.
• Sticker crafters, since tiny edge marks disappear in the pattern.
• A sensible balance of appearance and cost.
