StatTrak™ Negev | Prototype (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin pairs a gunmetal body with white technical labels and red diagonal stripes, a deliberately unfinished look. At Minimal Wear the labels are almost untouched, with at most faint marks on the white strips that disappear at normal viewing distance. The buyer gets nearly the same picture as Factory New while choosing a slightly more relaxed grade.

Item type: machinegun. 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.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The receiver, top cover, barrel, foregrip and box magazine are finished in a uniform dark grey with a matte metal feel. Along the rear of the receiver runs a white panel with red-and-white diagonal hazard stripes and small black technical lettering, and a narrow white band sits higher on the top cover.

Light marks may appear on the white panels, mostly at their edges on the receiver. The stripes and lettering stay intact and readable. At normal distance in game it is hard to tell apart from Factory New. The magazine, stock and barrel look clean.

Stickers and crafts

Red, white and black stickers echo the hazard stripes and keep the technical feel. Industrial or warning-style designs placed on the grey receiver or the magazine fit the prototype theme without covering the markings.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the white panels on the receiver, since they show wear first and define the look.
• Check whether the hazard stripes and lettering are still readable at the float you choose.
• A float near the clean end of its range gives noticeably sharper markings in the middle grades.
• Make sure stickers and any name tag fit the grey and white-red scheme.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want an almost factory look without chasing the top grade.
• Crafters who accept faint marks that are invisible in game.
• Conclusion: a sensible near-clean option.
