Souvenir MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This MAC-10 carries a dense forest motif: light green and cream branches over a teal base, offset by yellow hardware. Minimal Wear keeps nearly the same look as the cleanest grade, with only faint marks that are hard to spot in a match. It suits buyers who want a clean thicket pattern without paying for the top grade.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver and upper body are covered in a teal-green base with a dense web of pale green and cream branches running at different angles. Yellow accents mark the front sight area, the charging handle, the trigger area, the grip side panels and the folding wire stock, while the threaded muzzle stays black.

Minimal Wear may add a few tiny marks near the muzzle and on the sharpest front corners of the receiver. The branch pattern and yellow parts otherwise look the same as in Factory New. At normal distance in game the difference is practically invisible. The grip panels, magazine and most of the body remain untouched.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket is 0–0.68; 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.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Boreal Collection with 29 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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.

Stickers and crafts

Yellow, gold and olive stickers echo the gun's accents and magazine, while green or teal designs blend into the forest pattern. Placing them on the plain side panels of the receiver keeps the branch motif readable.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a worn grade can look close to the cleaner grade above it.
• Look at the muzzle end, front corners and yellow wire stock first, as these show wear earliest on this finish.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so decide whether they suit you before buying.
• Check for any applied stickers or name tag, which change the look but rarely add value on a Mil-Spec skin.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean MAC-10 and are fine with marks that are barely visible in game.
• Buyers who want to save compared with Factory New without losing the bright look.
• Conclusion: a sensible middle ground between appearance and cost.
