Souvenir M4A1-S | Emphorosaur-S (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The finish pairs a saturated green body with a torn-open side where a dinosaur's claws and scales break through the receiver. Minimal Wear keeps the whole artwork readable, and any marks are small and confined to outer edges. Next to a Factory New copy the difference shows mainly on close inspection.

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

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: Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The silencer, barrel, handguard and stock are painted bright green, and red-brown slash marks run along the top of the silencer and handguard like claw scratches. The red-brown carry handle sits above the main feature: a section of the receiver side drawn as torn open, with a dinosaur's claws and yellow-and-dark scaled skin pushing through.

Light marks can appear at the silencer tip and on the outer edges of the magazine. The receiver artwork, handguard and stock stay clean. At normal viewing distance in game it looks almost the same as Factory New.

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

Green, yellow and red-brown stickers continue the rifle's palette, and stickers with creatures, teeth or claws match the dinosaur theme. Placing them on the green handguard keeps the torn-open receiver artwork visible.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the lower end of a grade keep more paint on the silencer and magazine.
• Look at the silencer tip, carry handle and magazine edges in the inspect view, as these lose paint first.
• Make sure the torn-open receiver artwork with the dinosaur's claws is intact on worn copies, because it carries the theme of the skin.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, and decide whether you are after a StatTrak™ or Souvenir version.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a nearly clean look but are fine with minor marks on edges.
• Sticker crafters looking for a clean-looking base at a lower grade than Factory New.
• A sensible middle ground between condition and cost.
