StatTrak™ M4A1-S | Blood Tiger (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This M4A1-S carries a jungle tiger hydrographic in muted grey and olive, broken up by red stripes that give the skin its name. At Minimal Wear the print looks almost untouched in the hand, with only faint marks on the outermost edges that most players will not notice in a match.

Item type: 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.

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

The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The silencer, handguard, receiver, magazine and stock are wrapped in a grey-olive hydrographic with dark wavy tiger stripes. Red streaks run across the pattern, most visible on the silencer, the magazine and the lower receiver.

Small light marks may appear on the silencer tip and the edges of the magazine. The red streaks stay bright and the stripe pattern is unbroken across the receiver and handguard. At normal viewing distance it is hard to tell apart from Factory New. The stock and the flat sides of the receiver look clean.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

Stickers and crafts

Red, black and dark olive stickers blend well with the tiger pattern and repeat its red streaks. Matte or holo stickers in red tones placed on the receiver side support the artwork without covering the busiest part of the print.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a lower value keeps the silencer and magazine edges cleaner.
• Look at the silencer tip and magazine edges first, as these are the parts that lose the print earliest.
• Compare the placement of the red streaks between copies, because the hydrographic shifts how much red shows on the silencer and magazine.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag so the item matches the look you want.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-new look without paying for the cleanest grade.
• Sticker crafters who accept faint edge marks hidden in normal play.
• A balanced option between appearance and cost.
