Souvenir MAC-10 | Propaganda (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The same red-and-cream poster with the watching eyes and Cyrillic slogans, in a grade that differs from Factory New only in small details. Any marks sit on edges and corners and are hard to spot outside the inspect view. It is a practical way to get the full look of Propaganda while paying for a less strict grade.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

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: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver is painted in a warm cream tone crossed by red diagonal stripes, with a yellow sun disc on a red field near the front and a grey photographic pair of eyes towards the rear. Cyrillic words are printed along the body, including контроль on the receiver, with more lettering running down towards the grip.

Small scuffs may appear on the top edges of the receiver and the corners of the magazine. The cream areas show them a little more than the red ones, but only up close. At normal distance in game it is practically indistinguishable from Factory New. The eyes, the sun disc and the lettering remain clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir MAC-10 | Propaganda is 0–0.62; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (13% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The 2021 Train Collection with 17 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.

Which stickers suit it

Red, black and gold stickers fit the poster palette and keep the agitprop feel. Placing them on the cream part of the receiver away from the eyes keeps the main motif visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float looks noticeably cleaner on the cream areas.
• Look at the eyes and the lettering in the inspect view, because these details lose clarity first as wear grows.
• Inspect the top edges of the receiver and the bottom of the magazine, where the paint goes first.
• On Souvenir copies, check whether the applied stickers suit the red-and-cream artwork.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want an almost clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters who are fine with tiny marks on the edges.
• Conclusion: nearly the Factory New look at a more reasonable level.
