SSG 08 | Mayan Dreams (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This wear keeps the earthy Mayan cloud pattern almost untouched and costs less than the cleanest grade. The busy brown swirls hide small marks well, so the rifle looks practically new on screen. It is a sensible choice for anyone who wants the full warm colour without paying for the top grade.

Item type: sniper rifle. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The handguard, receiver and the long stock carry a hydrographic print of brown, tan and amber cloud shapes outlined with thin dark swirls. The pattern also wraps the pistol grip, the cheek rest and the scope body, so most of the rifle reads as one warm ornamental surface.

Tiny scuffs may appear on the handguard edges and the top of the scope, visible only up close. The pattern on the stock and grip stays intact. At normal viewing distance the rifle is hard to tell apart from Factory New. The busy motif hides small marks well.

• Check whether the copy is a Souvenir and which stickers it carries.
• Inspect any name tag or applied stickers to make sure they fit how you want the rifle to look.
