Souvenir MP9 | Sand Scale (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The scale camo of MP9 | Sand Scale is calm and muted: sandy plates and grey-olive patches run over the receiver and both grips. In Minimal Wear the pattern keeps its sharp outlines, and any marks stay small and close to the edges. In game it is very hard to tell apart from a factory-fresh copy.

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

Anodized Airbrushed: a coloured coating with an airbrushed design on top; the coating holds while the design fades with wear.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The receiver, the front grip and the pistol grip are covered in a scale pattern of light tan plates and grey-olive patches, each cell separated by a thin dark outline. The pattern wraps the upper rail area and runs down both grips, where the tan tone dominates.

Small, faint marks may appear on the very edges of the receiver and near the muzzle. The grips and the flat sides of the body remain clean. In game the difference from Factory New is practically invisible, since the muted palette hides minor scuffs.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

The float of Souvenir MP9 | Sand Scale ranges from 0 to 0.45; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.15 — 18% of this skin’s 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.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in tan, olive, brown or muted gold blend with the scale pattern, while a single dark or holo sticker gives a quiet contrast. Placements on the side of the receiver work best, where the cells are largest.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, as a low float in a grade keeps the receiver edges cleaner.
• Look at the top of the receiver and the rail in the inspect view, since these are the first places to lose paint.
• Check the grips, where wear on the ribbed parts is easy to miss in screenshots.
• Note any stickers or a name tag already applied, as they change how the camo reads.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-identical look to Factory New at a lower grade.
• Buyers who do not mind tiny marks on the edges.
• A practical alternative to the cleanest grade.
