Souvenir M4A4 | Evil Daimyo (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin pairs bright red panels with dark grey and charcoal parts, so it is easy to recognise even at a glance. At Minimal Wear the finish still reads as clean, and any marks stay small and close to the edges. For most players it looks the same as Factory New in game and costs less to own.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The finish is a custom paint job in bright red and dark grey to near-black, arranged in bold angular blocks. The handguard and the front of the barrel area are mostly red, while the receiver mixes red with grey panels and faint dark markings.

Small scuffs may appear on the magazine edges and the corners of the handguard. The receiver and stock still look clean, and the red keeps its full brightness. At normal distance in game the difference from Factory New is hard to see.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir M4A4 | Evil Daimyo is 0–0.52; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (15% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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

Red, black, white and gold stickers fit the existing palette best. Placements on the grey parts of the receiver or the stock stand out more than stickers over the red handguard, where similar colours blend in.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show less grey on the magazine.
• Look at the magazine edges and the top of the receiver first, as these parts lose paint earliest.
• Review applied stickers and any name tag, because they change how the red and black design reads.
• Battle-Scarred copies are limited by the short float range, so compare them with Well-Worn before deciding.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a clean-looking rifle without paying for Factory New.
• Sticker crafts where tiny edge marks do not matter.
• In short: near-identical look in game at a lower cost.
