StatTrak™ FAMAS | Afterimage (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin is built on a dark blue base with broken ribbon trails in red, pink and pale blue running along the body and stock. A Minimal Wear copy keeps the whole design readable, and any marks are small and limited to edges. For most buyers it looks practically the same as Factory New in hand.

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

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

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The receiver and carry handle are painted deep navy with a darker mottled texture, and red ribbon trails with pink and light-blue edges wrap around the top of the handle and the body. The stock carries the densest cluster of ribbons, with tangled red streaks across the cheek area and butt.

Small scratches may appear on the top edge of the carry handle and the front corner of the receiver. The ribbons on the body and stock stay saturated and clean. At normal viewing distance in game these marks are almost invisible. The stock and the main body look the same as in Factory New.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

Which stickers suit it

Red, pink and light-blue stickers match the ribbon colours and blend into the design. Dark navy or holographic blue stickers on the body keep the look calm and unified. Placing stickers on the receiver side leaves the dense ribbon cluster on the stock visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the edges of the carry handle, since they show wear first on this skin.
• Compare the float position within the grade, especially in Field-Tested where condition varies the most.
• Check that the red ribbons on the stock are bright, as they carry most of the design.
• Note any stickers or name tag and whether they fit the blue and red scheme.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-new look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters who accept tiny edge marks hidden in game.
• Conclusion: a sensible balance between condition and cost.
