Souvenir Dual Berettas | Retribution (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

Retribution is recognisable by its silver steel finish and walnut-toned grips, a restrained look without bright colours or graphics. In Minimal Wear the steel can show a few faint marks near the edges, but from the player's view it still reads as clean polished metal. It gives almost the same picture as the top grade at a lower position on the wear scale.

Item type: pistol. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

Both pistols have slides and frames in bright polished silver steel, with visible serrations at the rear of the slides and a reflective finish along the barrels. The trigger guards and triggers stay in the same steel tone, while small dark pins and screws break up the metal surfaces.

Faint light scuffs can appear on the slide edges and near the muzzles. The flat sides of the slides and the wooden grips remain clean. At normal distance in game the difference from Factory New is hard to notice. The polished look and the wood contrast are fully preserved.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir Dual Berettas | Retribution is 0–0.45; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (18% 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 Huntsman Collection with 20 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

Note: It was removed because one of its creators was also involved with the M4A4 Howl art theft. This is no longer obtainable from the Huntsman Weapon Case, but remains part of The Huntsman Collection and still works with trade-up contracts.

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.

Which stickers suit it

Silver, gold and holo stickers work well with the polished steel, while brown, black or muted stickers echo the wood grips. Placements on the flat sides of the slides keep the grips and their grain visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested can look close to Minimal Wear.
• Look at the slide edges and muzzles on the inspect screen, as they lose their shine first.
• Check the wood grips for faded edges on more worn copies.
• Look at applied stickers and name tags, since they change the clean steel look.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters, since the faint edge marks are barely visible in game.
• A sensible balance between appearance and cost.
