Souvenir P2000 | Fire Elemental (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin pairs a hand-drawn orange flame spirit on the slide with a blue, star-flecked frame and grip, a strong warm-against-cold contrast. Minimal Wear keeps that contrast almost intact, with only faint marks that are hard to spot outside close inspection. It suits buyers who want the clean look without paying for the top grade.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

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. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The slide carries the main artwork: an orange and yellow fire creature with a visible eye, red outlines and swirling flame tongues running from the muzzle end towards the rear sight. The base colour across the slide, frame and grip is a deep royal blue with fine light speckles that look like a starry texture.

Tiny marks may appear on the very front of the slide and along its top edge. The flame creature and its eye remain fully intact. At normal distance in game it is practically indistinguishable from Factory New, and the frame and grip stay clean.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir P2000 | Fire Elemental is 0–0.6; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (13% 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

Souvenir P2000 | Fire Elemental belongs to The Vanguard Collection, which holds 14 skins.

It drops from Operation Vanguard Weapon Case (on sale since Nov 5, 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.

Stickers and crafts

Orange, gold and red stickers echo the flames, while deep blue or holographic blue ones blend into the base. Placing stickers on the frame or lower slide keeps the fire creature on the slide visible.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the wear grade, since a low float keeps the slide edges and muzzle noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the flame creature and its eye on the slide, as this is the focal point and the first art to suffer on worn copies.
• Check the front of the grip and the slide top in the inspect view for bare metal.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, since they change how the slide artwork reads.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look in game without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters who are fine with tiny marks hidden by stickers.
• Conclusion: the sensible balance between appearance and cost.
