Souvenir USP-S | Black Lotus (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The skin is built around a single painted slide, so its look depends heavily on how much violet paint remains. In Well-Worn the slide edges and raised areas show clear patches of bare metal, and the thin branches begin to break up. The lotus remains visible as the main light spot on the slide.

Item type: pistol. 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.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The custom paint covers the slide only: a deep violet base with a pale pink and peach lotus near the front and dark, thin branches stretching towards the rear. The frame and trigger guard stay in gunmetal grey, the grip is dark grey with a slight violet tint at the base, and the perforated silencer is left in plain grey.

The top and edges of the slide show wide patches of bare metal, and wear spreads onto the sides. The branches are broken in many places and the lotus petals lose some of their colour. In game the scratched slide is noticeable even without inspecting closely. The violet base remains mainly on the lower and central parts of the slide.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

The float of Souvenir USP-S | Black Lotus ranges from 0 to 0.9; the Well-Worn quality covers 0.38–0.45 — 8% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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 violet, lilac, pale pink or silver tones match the slide and the lotus. Placing them on the grey frame or near the grip keeps the flower on the slide uncovered. Holographic or muted dark stickers suit the calm look better than bright saturated colours.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since the whole design sits on the slide and wear there is easy to see.
• Inspect the slide edges, top and ejection port area, as these lose paint first.
• On worn copies, see how much of the lotus remains, because it is the main element of the artwork.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag to make sure they suit the violet slide.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Budget buyers who want the Black Lotus design on their USP-S.
• Players who like a used, scratched look on a dark finish.
• A budget entry where the lotus still remains visible.
