Souvenir P90 | Virus (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This is the P90 with the acid-green zombie hydrographic, easy to spot by its bright cell-like blotches on a dark base. Minimal Wear keeps nearly all of that colour, and any marks are tiny and sit on the outer edges. In the hand it reads very close to a fresh 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.

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 lower shell of the P90 is covered in a lime-green hydrographic print over a darker grey-green base. This includes the thumbhole grip loop, the area around the trigger and the stock.

Light scuffs may appear on the outermost edges of the grip loop and the front of the body. The colour on the side panels and stock stays as saturated as on a new copy. At normal distance in game the difference from Factory New is very hard to see. The top rail and sights remain clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir P90 | Virus is 0.06–0.8; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (11% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The eSports 2014 Summer Collection with 17 skins in total.

The source is 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

Green, black and toxic-themed stickers continue the infected look of the print, and holo or foil stickers in green tones add shine without clashing. Placing them on the dark upper body keeps them readable against the busy pattern below.

What to look at before you buy

• Factory New covers only a very narrow slice of this skin's float range, so compare copies across the grades before paying extra.
• Look at the edges of the grip loop and the rear corners of the stock, as these show wear first.
• Check how much bright green falls on the visible side panels, since the hydrographic placement differs between copies.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, as they change the look of the dark top area.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-new look without paying for the narrow top grade.
• Sticker crafters who are fine with tiny edge marks.
• A sensible middle ground between appearance and cost.
