Souvenir Negev | Sour Grapes (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

At Well-Worn the purple paint on this Negev looks tired: the violet is broken by noticeable grey patches along the receiver, barrel shroud and stock. The colour scheme is still recognisable, but the finish now reads as a used tool rather than a fresh coat. It is a cheaper way to own the purple look if a rough surface does not bother you.

Item type: machinegun. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

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, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The receiver, top rail, barrel shroud and front sight are painted in a deep violet with lighter purple highlights on the edges and raised details. The folding stock and grip use a darker, slightly muted shade of purple, so the weapon reads in several tones rather than one flat colour.

The worn areas grow from edges into patches on the receiver sides, the barrel shroud and the stock. The front of the weapon loses a large share of its paint, and the lighter highlights mostly disappear. The purple stays on recessed areas and the larger flat panels. The grey ammo box looks darker and more scuffed, matching the overall used look.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

Souvenir Negev | Sour Grapes belongs to The Ascent Collection, which holds 28 skins. 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

Purple, lavender and silver stickers blend with the violet body, while gold or green ones give a clear grape-themed contrast. The flat sides of the receiver are the most visible spots, and the grey ammo box works for stickers with darker or monochrome artwork.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low value in a worn grade keeps noticeably more purple on the receiver and shroud.
• The finish is a solid colour, so the pattern does not change the look and you do not need to pay for a specific one.
• Look at the muzzle area, the top rail and the stock corners on the inspect screen, as these lose paint first.
• Check applied stickers and name tag, as they can either complement the purple or clash with it.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Budget players who want a coloured Negev rather than the default.
• Those who do not mind visible grey patches on the receiver and stock.
• A low-cost entry to the purple look.
