Souvenir P2000 | Corticera (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This wear keeps the main appeal of Corticera intact: the warm leaf pattern on the slide against the cool blue frame. Minimal Wear copies show only light marks near the edges, which are hard to spot on a busy, multicoloured motif. It is a sensible choice for a buyer who wants the look of a clean pistol without paying for the narrowest grade.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-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 and Field-Tested. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The top and sides of the slide are covered with a tight pattern of overlapping leaves in orange, yellow and green, each shape separated by dark lines in a stained-glass manner. The front of the slide around the muzzle is left in a bare blue-silver metal tone.

Small scratches start to appear on the front corners and upper edges of the slide. The leaf pattern itself remains bright, and the light marks blend into the multicoloured artwork. The blue frame and grip still look clean, so at normal distance in game this wear is very hard to tell from Factory New.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The float of Souvenir P2000 | Corticera ranges from 0.06 to 0.3; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.15 — 33% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

Souvenir P2000 | Corticera belongs to The eSports 2014 Summer Collection, which holds 17 skins.

It drops from eSports 2014 Summer Case (on sale since Jul 9, 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

Stickers in green, orange or gold tones continue the leaf palette of the slide, while blue or silver stickers blend into the frame. Placing a sticker on the plain blue frame keeps the slide pattern uncluttered.

What to check before buying

• Factory New copies sit in a very narrow float band near the bottom of the range, so compare the exact float rather than the wear name alone.
• On Field-Tested copies, check the slide edges and the front of the slide near the muzzle, where wear on the leaf pattern shows first.
• Look at the trigger guard and the bottom of the grip for scuffs on the blue paint.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, and decide whether you want the StatTrak™ counter.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a clean-looking pistol and accept tiny marks that are barely visible in game.
• Buyers who want a near-pristine look while saving compared to the narrow top grade.
• A balanced choice between appearance and cost.
