Souvenir AWP | Chromatic Aberration (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin is easy to spot by its bright pink receiver and the scattered glitch fragments running along the barrel, scope and stock. At Minimal Wear the finish keeps its saturation, and any marks sit on edges that are hard to see from the player's view. It offers the full neon look for a little less than the cleanest grade.

Item type: sniper rifle. 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, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver is the focal point, painted bright magenta with purple tiger-like stripes printed slightly out of register. The long barrel and the scope are dark charcoal, dotted with small pink, cyan and white fragments that look like digital glitches, and a cyan ring accents the muzzle.

Tiny scuffs may appear on the muzzle and the outer edges of the receiver, usually only under close inspection. The pink and purple stripes keep their full saturation. At normal distance in game this grade looks practically the same as Factory New. The stock and scope remain clean.

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

Holo or foil stickers in pink, purple or cyan match the glitch palette, especially when placed on the dark section of the barrel where they echo the scattered fragments. Black and white stickers suit players who prefer to keep the receiver as the only bright accent.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within its wear grade, since lower values keep the receiver edges and the muzzle cleaner.
• Inspect the receiver edges and the scope rims first, as they lose paint before the rest of the rifle.
• Look at applied stickers and their positions, because bright stickers can clash with the magenta receiver.
• Decide whether you need StatTrak™ or a Souvenir copy, and check any name tag before buying.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look in game for less than Factory New.
• Crafters who are fine with small edge marks hidden from the first-person view.
• A balanced pick that loses almost nothing visually.
