Souvenir P90 | Death Grip (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This P90 is wrapped in a dense layer of grasping hands in off-white and grey, with blue showing through underneath. At Minimal Wear the print looks practically the same as the cleanest grade at normal distance, and any marks are small and sit on the edges. It gives you the full look of the finish for less than a pristine copy.

Item type: smg. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The hydrographic print of overlapping hands covers almost the whole P90: the barrel shroud, the main body, the thumbhole grip loop and the rounded stock. The hands are drawn in off-white and light grey with thin dark outlines, and the blue base shows through in the gaps between fingers and palms.

Tiny specks may appear at the tip of the muzzle and on the edges of the grip loop, visible mostly on close inspect. The side panels and the stock still carry an unbroken print. At normal distance the gun looks the same as a Factory New copy. The blue base keeps its full brightness.

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 blue, white, grey or black blend with the cold palette of the hands. A single dark or holo sticker on the flat side of the body stands out well against the pale print, while bright warm colours give deliberate contrast. Keeping stickers off the grip loop leaves the most recognisable part of the pattern visible.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since lower values keep the muzzle and grip loop cleaner.
• Inspect the inner rim of the grip loop and the muzzle, the first places the pale print rubs off.
• The hand pattern is spread fairly evenly, so condition matters more than placement, but look at the side panel on inspect to be sure you like it.
• Look at applied stickers and a name tag, since they stay with the item and change its look.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-pristine look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters who are fine with tiny edge marks seen only on inspect.
• The balanced pick between appearance and cost.
