Souvenir AUG | Death by Puppy (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Classified AUG is recognisable by its crowded mix of Pop Dog logos in neon blue, pink and green over a near-black base. The dark scope, barrel and rail stay uncoated, framing the colourful body. A Minimal Wear copy keeps almost the same vivid look as a fresh one, with only small marks that are hard to spot in game.

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.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The finish covers the body, the stock, the trigger guard area and the vertical foregrip with tightly packed Pop Dog logos in blue, teal, pink, magenta and green over a dark navy base. The barrel, muzzle device, scope, top rail and charging handle stay in plain dark grey metal, which makes the coloured body stand out.

Tiny scuffs may appear on the sharpest edges of the stock and the foregrip, mostly in the upper part of the range. The busy pattern hides these marks almost completely. At normal viewing distance in game it is very hard to tell from Factory New. The large surfaces of the body and stock remain fully coloured.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir AUG | Death by Puppy is 0–0.4; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (20% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The CS20 Collection with 17 skins in total.

The source is CS20 Case.

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

Stickers in pink, teal or blue tones pick up the colours of the Pop Dog pattern and blend into the artwork. Dark or holographic stickers placed on the grey upper body near the scope stand out cleanly against the plain metal instead of getting lost in the busy pattern.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since a low float in Field-Tested looks noticeably cleaner than a high one.
• Inspect the stock edges, the trigger guard and the foregrip, as these parts lose colour first.
• Look at applied stickers and the name tag, because they change the look of an already busy pattern.
• Decide between the regular, StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions before comparing offers.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-new look without paying for the cleanest grade.
• Sticker crafters, since the busy pattern hides the small marks.
• Conclusion: almost the Factory New look at a more reasonable level.
