Souvenir MAC-10 | Heat (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

Well-Worn Heat is a cheaper way into this finish, with clear scuffing along the outlines and scratches on the dark panels. The overall dark-and-orange colour scheme survives, though the lines no longer form a clean frame around the gun.

Item type: smg. 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.

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, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The receiver, magazine and grip are covered in a dark charcoal-grey paint with a faint reddish tint toward the edges. Every contour of the gun is traced with a bright yellow line fading into orange, as if the metal were still glowing from the forge.

Large parts of the outlines on the receiver, barrel and magazine are scuffed away, and bare metal shows on corners. The dark panels carry noticeable scratches and patches. In game the gun looks dark with scattered orange accents rather than a full glowing frame. The grip and sling are worn but still keep some of the warm tone.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

The whole float range of Souvenir MAC-10 | Heat is 0–1; Well-Worn takes the 0.38–0.45 segment (7% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Phoenix Collection with 13 skins in total.

The source is Operation Phoenix Weapon Case (on sale since Feb 19, 2014).

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

Gold, holo and foil stickers in yellow, orange or red tones match the glowing outlines. Dark or black stickers on the flat side of the receiver blend with the charcoal body without breaking the edge lines.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the wear range, since the edge outlines are the first thing to fade and lower floats keep them noticeably cleaner.
• Check the receiver corners, top rail and magazine base in inspect, as these parts lose the glow first.
• Consider whether applied stickers suit the dark and orange palette, because they cannot be moved.
• Note any name tag and decide if it fits the forge theme or if you prefer a clean copy.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Budget buyers who want the dark and orange palette at a lower cost.
• Players who care more about the overall tone than clean outlines.
• Conclusion: an affordable entry with visible wear.
