StatTrak™ MP9 | Black Sand (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The tan-and-black camo of MP9 | Black Sand reads almost the same in Minimal Wear as in the cleanest grade. Any marks are tiny and sit on edges that rarely catch the eye in game. It keeps the full contrast of the pattern at a more relaxed grade.

Item type: smg. 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, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The upper receiver carries the main camo: tan blotches with partly stepped edges over a dark olive-black base, with thin orange lines running along its length and a round emblem near the rear. The barrel shroud and muzzle stay dark, with a small orange accent at the front.

Small specks may appear on the muzzle edge and the top edge of the receiver. They are hard to spot without inspecting the weapon closely. At normal distance the skin looks the same as Factory New. The camo, emblem and orange lines stay clean.

Stickers and crafts

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, as lower floats keep the top of the receiver cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle, the magazine base and the stock edges, since these lose paint first.
• Check that the orange lines along the receiver are unbroken if you want a crisp look.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, as they change the look of the camo.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a clean-looking MP9 without aiming for the top grade.
• Crafters who are fine with tiny marks hidden on the edges.
• Conclusion: nearly the Factory New look at a more relaxed grade.
