Souvenir USP-S | Serum (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This USP-S | Serum shows the same red-and-dark digital camo on chrome, with the metallic paints still reading clean from any normal angle. Minimal Wear copies may carry faint marks on the silencer tip and slide edges that are hard to spot in game. It is a way to get the full look of the finish at a less demanding grade.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Other qualities of this skin: Field-Tested. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The silencer is covered in dark olive and black blocks with large metallic red patches running along its length. The slide carries the same digital pattern, with the USP TACTICAL marking visible on its side and red areas breaking up the darker paint.

Light marks can appear on the silencer tip and the sharp edges of the slide, where small points of chrome start to show. The grip, frame and the flat surfaces of the silencer usually remain clean. At normal viewing distance in game these marks are barely noticeable. The pattern and reflectivity look almost the same as in Factory New.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir USP-S | Serum is 0–0.25; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (32% of the 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.

Stickers and crafts

Red, black and silver or holo stickers match the metallic palette of the finish. Placements on the slide near the USP TACTICAL marking or on the silencer keep the sticker in view without hiding the red patches. Bright blue or yellow stickers tend to clash with the dark olive areas.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since low and high copies of the same grade can differ on the edges.
• Inspect the silencer tip and the top edge of the slide, as these lose paint first.
• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir and whether it carries stickers that suit the red pattern.
• Look for a name tag if you prefer a clean item name.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a look nearly identical to Factory New in game.
• Buyers who do not mind faint marks on the silencer tip.
• A balanced option between condition and cost.
