Souvenir AK-47 | Midnight Laminate (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

Midnight Laminate is a simple two-colour AK-47 skin, and that simplicity helps it hold up as the paint thins. In Well-Worn the scratches spread over the magazine, dust cover and handguard edges, yet the purple and blue zones remain clearly separated. It suits players who want the scheme at a lower cost and accept visible use.

Item type: rifle. 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.

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 receiver, dust cover, magazine and gas tube are coated in an iridescent purple that shifts towards violet and blue as the light changes. The buttstock, pistol grip and lower handguard carry a teal-blue finish with a visible layered grain, so the wooden parts look like dyed laminate.

Scratches spread across the magazine, the dust cover and the edges of the handguard, with more bare metal showing through. The blue furniture is worn at its corners and the grain looks duller. In game the rifle clearly looks used, though the purple and blue zones are still distinct. The centre of the stock and grip keeps most of its colour.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

Price by quality

By price this skin is 6th of 7 skins Restricted AK-47 in this quality (the first being the dearest).

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

Holo and foil stickers in purple, blue or silver match the iridescent receiver and the teal furniture. Placing them on the receiver above the magazine keeps them on the purple area, where they stay visible in first-person view. Warm reds and oranges clash with the cool palette and are best avoided.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within its wear grade, since a low float in a worn grade looks noticeably cleaner.
• Look closely at the magazine edges, as they wear first and stay in view while you play.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so make sure they suit you before buying.
• The pattern has little effect on this plain two-tone finish, so focus on float, stickers and any name tag.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Budget buyers who want this colour scheme on their AK-47.
• Players who like a rifle that visibly shows use.
• An affordable option, provided you accept clear wear.
