Souvenir AWP | Worm God (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This AWP carries a muted olive patina with a skull and root pattern that winds along the stock toward the receiver. At Minimal Wear the artwork looks almost the same as a fresh copy, with only faint marks that are hard to spot outside close inspection. It is a way to get the full motif with very little visible compromise.

Item type: sniper rifle. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The receiver and stock are finished in a grey-olive patina with pale yellow-green highlights and dark ornamental lines forming roots and a skull. The pattern is densest on the stock and around the grip, then thins out along the receiver toward the barrel.

Light marks may appear on the very edges of the stock and on raised parts of the receiver. The skull and the root pattern remain fully intact. At normal viewing distance in game it looks practically the same as Factory New. The barrel and scope stay 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

Muted olive, gold, bone-white and black stickers fit the earthy palette and the grim skull theme. Placing them along the receiver keeps the stock artwork uncovered.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the chosen wear, since copies near the cleaner end hold the root lines noticeably better.
• Look at the stock edges and the area around the grip, as these lose paint first.
• Make sure the skull on the stock is clear enough for your taste on worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, as they change the look of the receiver.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters who accept faint marks that are hard to see in game.
• A sensible balance of appearance and cost.
