StatTrak™ P250 | Hive (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The Hive finish pairs a reddish-brown base with a light honeycomb pattern, giving the P250 an even, textured look rather than a bold graphic. At Minimal Wear the grid still reads cleanly at a glance, with only small rubbed spots on the sharpest edges. It keeps nearly the same look as the cleanest grade while sitting a step lower.

Item type: pistol. 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.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The slide is coated in a rust-orange base with a pale tan honeycomb grid, broken by darker red-brown mottling that gives it an aged look. The same hexagon pattern continues over the frame, the trigger guard and the grip, where the cells appear larger and more evenly spaced.

Small rubbed spots may appear at the front edge of the slide and around the muzzle. The rest of the slide, the frame and the grip look the same as on a clean copy. At normal viewing distance in game the difference from Factory New is hard to spot. Lower floats in this grade look practically untouched.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of StatTrak™ P250 | Hive is 0–0.3; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (27% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Stickers and crafts

Gold, copper and amber stickers match the warm base and the pale honeycomb lines. Black or dark brown designs work as contrast on the slide without breaking the colour scheme. Bee or honeycomb themed stickers fit the name of the finish.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since the front of the slide changes most across the range.
• Look at the muzzle end and the top edge of the slide, where the paint wears off first.
• Pattern placement shifts little on this hydrographic, so condition matters more than pattern.
• Check for applied stickers or a name tag if you want a clean copy.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a clean-looking P250 without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters who accept tiny wear on the slide edges.
• A balanced option close to factory look.
