Souvenir AK-47 | Wasteland Rebel (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This AK-47 looks like a battlefield rifle tagged by hand: brown wood, dark steel and loose white brush strokes across the receiver and magazine. At Minimal Wear the graffiti stays bright and readable, and the few small marks blend into the intentionally distressed paint. In the hands it looks practically the same as the cleanest grade.

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: Factory New, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver and dust cover are dark and scuffed, covered with white graffiti lettering that runs along the side in loose brush strokes. The handguard and stock are brown wood with visible grain, the handguard carrying a small white stencil mark and darker block-printed patches, while the pistol grip is a lighter tan wood.

Tiny scratches may appear on the sharpest edges of the receiver and the front of the magazine. The graffiti remains whole and bright, and the wood looks untouched. At normal viewing distance the difference from Factory New is hard to spot. This grade gives almost the same look for a less strict condition.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

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

Black, white and monochrome stickers match the graffiti scheme and keep the receiver readable. Brown, tan or muted gold tones work well near the wooden handguard. Placing stickers over the plain dark areas avoids covering the main white lettering.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, as the white graffiti on the receiver and magazine shows the difference first.
• Look at the magazine edges and the receiver corners on the inspect screen, since these lose paint before anything else.
• Confirm whether the listing is a regular, StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy, as all three exist for this skin.
• Review applied stickers and any name tag so you know exactly what is included.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without chasing the top grade.
• Crafters for whom tiny edge marks do not matter.
• A sensible middle ground between appearance and strictness of condition.
