Souvenir M4A4 | Polysoup (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin is built around a crystal mosaic in blue, green and violet tones, framed by soft pink parts and a gold-tinted magazine. In Minimal Wear the finish looks almost untouched in game, with only faint marks on edges that you notice up close. It gives nearly the same look as the cleanest grade.

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.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The upper and lower receiver are dark, almost black, and covered with a mosaic of crystals in blue, teal, green and violet, with light lettering across the upper receiver and gold-coloured accents around the controls. The front sight, carry handle, ribbed handguard, pistol grip and stock are painted a dusty pastel pink.

Small specks can appear on the sharpest edges of the front sight, carry handle and magazine. The handguard, grip, stock and crystal receiver remain clean. In game the difference from Factory New is barely noticeable. The pearlescent finish still looks intact.

Price by quality

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

Holographic or foil stickers in blue, teal and violet echo the crystal mosaic on the receiver. Pastel pink or gold stickers tie in with the furniture and magazine; placing them on the dark receiver keeps them readable.

What to check before buying

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since the pink furniture and magazine show differences first.
• Check the edges of the carry handle, front sight and handguard ribs on the inspect screen.
• Look at the magazine to see how much of the pearlescent gold finish is left.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as they change the look and value of a specific copy.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters who accept faint edge marks hidden in normal play.
• Conclusion: a sensible middle ground between appearance and cost.
