Souvenir AK-47 | Searing Rage (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This rifle carries the scattered thoughts of an Elite Crew member drawn as a mass of fiery scrawls, flame motifs on the handguard and a grimacing face on the magazine. At Minimal Wear the busy pattern hides the first small marks well, so the gun looks practically untouched from the player's view.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver and stock are covered in a dense web of thin orange and yellow scribbles and lettering over a dark base, with brighter flame strokes along the top of the receiver. The handguard carries bold yellow-orange flames outlined in black, while the dark barrel and gas tube show orange hand-written text.

Tiny scuffs may appear on the bottom edge of the magazine and the front of the handguard. The rest of the finish, including the face artwork and the stock pattern, stays clean. In game the difference from Factory New is hard to notice because the dense pattern masks small marks.

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.

Stickers and crafts

Orange, gold, red and black stickers blend with the fiery palette, while holo or foil gold accents fit the flames. Placements on the receiver side work best, as the magazine face is the main artwork and is better left visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the magazine artwork changes most between low and high floats of the same grade.
• Look at the magazine edges and the face artwork in inspect, as this is the first place the paint wears off.
• Check the handguard flames and the top of the receiver for paint loss on worn copies.
• Note applied stickers and the name tag, because they affect how the busy pattern reads.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for Factory New.
• Sticker crafters, since small marks are hidden by the dense pattern.
• A sensible choice for a clean-looking rifle at a lower grade.
