Souvenir P250 | Valence (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This finish relies on thin cyan lines and a blue dot field over a dark grey base, and those fine details are the first to suffer. At Well-Worn the slide and frame edges show clear wear, the lines break up in places and the colours look duller overall. The silhouette and the blue-grey scheme are still recognisable, which keeps it a usable budget option.

Item type: pistol. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

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

Appearance in Well-Worn

The slide is dark grey to near-black, with a thin cyan line running along its side towards the muzzle. The front of the frame under the slide is covered with a field of blue dots, framed by curved cyan and blue stripes that continue around the trigger guard area.

Wear spreads along the whole slide, the muzzle area and the frame edges, and the cyan lines break up in several places. The dot pattern loses contrast and the raised ribs on the grip panel start to lose colour. The grey grip shows scuffing near its edges. In game the design reads as a dull blue-grey pistol with only the larger accents still clear.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

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

Blue, cyan, silver and white stickers fit the cool palette of this finish, and holo or foil stickers in those tones match the bright accents. Placements on the dark slide stand out well, while stickers kept away from the dot pattern leave the main motif visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the thin cyan lines on the slide react to wear early.
• Look at the muzzle and the front of the frame, which are the first places to lose paint on this finish.
• Inspect the ribbed cyan panel on the grip, as its raised parts fade on more worn copies.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, since they change the look of the slide and are hard to judge from the preview alone.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Budget players who want this colour scheme on their pistol.
• Buyers who mostly see the gun from the first-person view and do not mind faded lines.
• A cheap entry that still reads as Valence in game.
