Souvenir SCAR-20 | Caged (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The rifle keeps its restrained look: mostly dark grey and olive parts, with the cool gradient used as an accent rather than covering the whole gun. Minimal Wear copies may show a few tiny marks on the sharpest edges, but the accent panels still read as fresh. It is a practical way to get a near-clean look for less than the top grade.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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

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 upper receiver carries the main colour work: a blue-to-purple gradient with teal and pinkish tints laid over a dark gunmetal base, plus small markings on the side. The long railed handguard and the barrel stay dark grey and black, which keeps the rifle looking tactical.

Tiny scuffs may appear on the sharpest rail edges and the corners of the stock. The gradient panels remain essentially untouched. In game the difference from Factory New is hard to spot without zooming in. The scope, grip and magazine still look clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

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, purple, teal or holographic tones echo the gradient and blend well with it. Dark or black stickers on the handguard keep the tactical look, while placements near the coloured receiver panel tie the craft together.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the gradient panels change noticeably between the low and high end of a grade.
• Look at the receiver top and the buttstock plate, as these carry the colour and lose it first.
• Inspect the rail edges and scope tube for scratches on worn copies.
• Check any applied stickers and name tag, and whether it is a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean rifle and are fine with tiny edge marks.
• Crafters looking for a clean base at a lower cost.
• A sensible compromise between looks and savings.
