Souvenir AWP | Medusa (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The gorgon motif of AWP | Medusa sits mostly on the stock and lower body, where blue-green snakes curl over a dark finish while the barrel and scope stay plain. Minimal Wear keeps that picture practically intact, with only faint marks that need a close look in inspect to find. In first-person view it is hard to tell apart from the cleanest grade.

Item type: sniper rifle. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The barrel, muzzle and scope are kept in dark grey and black, so the attention goes to the rear of the rifle. The receiver and lower body carry a near-black base with blue and teal detailing, and the stock holds the main artwork: the gorgon with snakes coiling across the thumbhole and cheek area, highlighted with lighter cold tones.

Small specks may appear on the sharpest edges of the stock and the corners of the receiver. The main artwork, including the gorgon's face, remains untouched. In game the marks are practically invisible, and the rifle looks the same as a clean copy. The barrel and scope stay fully painted.

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 blue, teal, silver or holo finishes match the cold palette of the gorgon artwork. Placing them on the dark barrel or receiver keeps the painting on the stock visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float position within the wear grade, since a low float keeps the stock edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the gorgon's face and the cheek rest, as wear on these areas affects the look most.
• Check the stock edges and the corners of the receiver and magazine for exposed metal.
• For Souvenir copies, check which stickers are already applied, since they cannot be changed.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look in first-person view.
• Sticker crafters looking for a tidy base with minimal marks.
• A sensible choice when the difference from Factory New does not matter in play.
