Souvenir PP-Bizon | Water Sigil (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The finish is built around a calm blue palette: concentric ripples across the whole body and light circular emblems repeated along the receiver and magazine. In Minimal Wear the look is practically the same as a clean copy, with at most tiny marks on the sharpest edges. It gives the full water motif while usually costing less than the top grade.

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

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 receiver, handguard and drum magazine are covered in dark navy blue with thin lighter blue concentric lines that form a ripple pattern. Pale round emblems with a wave motif are placed along the handguard, the receiver and the length of the cylindrical magazine.

Small scratches may appear on the front rim of the drum magazine and the sharpest edges of the handguard. The wave lines and emblems remain fully intact on flat surfaces. At normal distance in game it is very hard to tell apart from Factory New.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir PP-Bizon | Water Sigil is 0–0.5; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (16% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir PP-Bizon | Water Sigil belongs to The eSports 2013 Winter Collection, which holds 12 skins.

It drops from eSports 2013 Winter 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

White, silver, light blue and navy stickers blend with the water motif, while a single gold or red sticker can serve as a deliberate accent. The flat surfaces of the receiver and the handguard suit a tidy row that echoes the line of sigils.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the chosen grade, since a low value keeps the magazine rim and handguard edges cleaner.
• Look at the inspect view to see how the emblems land on the drum magazine, as their placement can shift between copies.
• Inspect the front rim of the magazine and the top of the receiver, the first places where the paint wears off.
• Check for applied stickers or a name tag and whether they fit the blue palette.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want an almost clean look for less than Factory New.
• Sticker crafts where tiny edge marks do not matter.
• A sensible balance between appearance and cost.
