Souvenir AUG | Bengal Tiger (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The tiger stripe hydrographic is the whole identity of this AUG: orange and cream with black stripes running along the stock and lower body. In Minimal Wear the pattern looks practically the same as on a fresh copy, with only small marks that need a close look on the inspect screen. It is the usual choice for a clean look without paying for the narrow top grade.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The stock and lower body are painted in a cream base with black tiger stripes, shading into bright orange on the upper rear of the stock and on the forward part of the body. The vertical foregrip is orange with cream accents, and the muzzle has a small orange touch.

Tiny chips may appear on the edge of the trigger guard and the magazine base. The stripes on the stock and body stay sharp, and the orange keeps its saturation. These marks are only visible on the inspect screen. At normal distance the rifle reads the same as a Factory New copy.

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, black, white and gold stickers match the tiger scheme and blend into the striped stock. Placements on the dark receiver and top rail stand out cleanly against the grey, while stickers on the cream body work best in muted or matching tones.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since the light base shows chips more readily than darker finishes.
• Check the trigger guard, foregrip edges and magazine base on the inspect screen, as these parts lose paint first.
• The tiger stripe hydrographic shifts between copies, so compare how the stripes fall on the stock if the look matters to you.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, as they change how the copy looks and may not suit everyone.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters who accept marks visible only on inspect.
• Conclusion: the balanced choice for a clean-looking Bengal Tiger.
