Souvenir PP-Bizon | Blue Streak (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The splatter hydrographic gives the Bizon a loud blue-on-grey look that is easy to spot from any side. Minimal Wear keeps the contrast almost untouched, and small marks on the edges blend into the busy splash pattern. For most buyers this grade looks the same as a fresh copy in game.

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.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver and barrel shroud are covered in bright aqua splashes over a dark grey base, with denser blue patches along the top. The cylindrical drum magazine under the barrel carries the same splatter, broken by wide diagonal streaks of blue.

Tiny scratches may appear on the front edge of the drum magazine and the muzzle area. The receiver splatter and the blue grip remain intact. At normal distance in game these marks are lost in the busy pattern. The difference from Factory New is mostly visible only on close inspection.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir PP-Bizon | Blue Streak is 0.06–0.8; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (11% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

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, cyan, white or black match the splash pattern without overloading it. Placements on the receiver side work best, where the dark base gives stickers a clean background.

What to check before buying

• Look at the front edge of the drum magazine and the muzzle, as these lose paint first.
• For Factory New, keep in mind that all copies sit in a narrow float slice close to the Minimal Wear border.
• Check whether the splatter placement on the receiver and magazine suits you, since the hydrographic sits differently on each copy.
• Review applied stickers and any name tag, as bright colours can clash with the blue scheme.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-fresh look without chasing the narrow Factory New slice.
• Sticker crafters who accept tiny edge marks hidden by the pattern.
• Conclusion: a sensible balance of appearance and availability.
