Souvenir R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The Banana Cannon finish relies on the contrast between yellow peel-like paint, dark gunmetal and small blue labels. In Minimal Wear that contrast is practically intact: any marks are tiny and tend to get lost among the printed brown spots. It gives nearly the clean look at a lower grade.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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 barrel shroud and the grip are painted bright banana yellow with scattered brown speckles and darker bruise-like patches, imitating an overripe peel. The cylinder and frame stay dark gunmetal with a brownish, aged tint, while the top rail is dark and the underbarrel rail is plain grey.

Small scuffs may appear on the muzzle tip and the sharpest barrel edges. They are hard to tell apart from the printed spots. In game it looks the same as Factory New. Labels, barcode and grip remain clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon is 0–1; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (8% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Revolution Collection with 17 skins in total.

It drops from Revolution Case.

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 and yellow stickers repeat the label colours and look natural on this skin. Food or fruit themed stickers on the barrel extend the joke, while dark or brown ones blend with the speckles.

What to check before buying

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since the paint on the muzzle and barrel edges changes noticeably inside one grade.
• Do not confuse the printed brown speckles with real wear; compare the inspect view with a clean copy.
• Check the blue labels and the barcode, as their faded edges show the real condition quickly.
• Check applied stickers and a name tag, because they cover parts of the yellow artwork.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want an almost clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters, since minor scuffs hide among the speckles.
• Conclusion: the sensible choice for a near-perfect banana.
