Souvenir G3SG1 | Scavenger (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This is the version of Scavenger that keeps the whole patchwork intact: green body, hazard stripes, orange stock plate and rust-brown accents. Minimal Wear adds only faint marks that are hard to separate from the deliberately weathered paint. For most buyers it looks the same as the cleanest grade in hand.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The receiver and magazine keep an olive green base with dark accents, as the description says the rifle was originally green. The handguard is covered with a yellow and black hazard-striped panel with warning lettering, edged by a rust-brown strip, and the stock carries an orange sign plate with a black graphic.

Light specks may appear on the edges of the stock plate and on the front of the handguard. They blend into the weathered artwork and are hard to notice even on inspection. In game it looks identical to Factory New, and the stripes and lettering stay clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir G3SG1 | Scavenger is 0–0.65; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (12% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

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

Yellow, orange, black and olive stickers match the road sign theme. Warning-style or industrial designs placed on the receiver beside the striped handguard keep the scrapyard idea intact. Bright pastel colours tend to clash with the rusty palette.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since the yellow handguard stripes show scratches first.
• Inspect the edges of the orange stock plate, as they wear before the rest of the stock.
• Pattern placement changes little on this skin, so focus on wear rather than seed.
• Look at applied stickers and the name tag, which can change how the handguard reads.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters, since faint marks are hidden by the weathered artwork.
• Conclusion: practically clean, with a sensible saving.
