Tec-9 | Flash Out (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Tec-9 carries a flashbang theme, with warm copper on top, a turquoise accent on the shroud and a grey lower half. In Minimal Wear the scheme reads the same as a fresh copy in normal play. Any marks are tiny and sit on the outermost edges.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the 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.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The perforated barrel shroud is painted metallic copper-orange with dark round holes, and a mint-teal band runs around its rear section. The upper receiver continues in copper with a green stripe along its lower edge and small markings near the rear.

Small specks may appear on the muzzle tip and the edges of the shroud holes. The receiver, teal band and magazine look untouched. At normal viewing distance the pistol is practically indistinguishable from Factory New. The difference only shows on close inspection.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within its wear range, since copies at the cleaner end look noticeably better on the shroud.
• Inspect the muzzle and the edges of the shroud holes, as the copper wears there first.
• Look at the pale magazine, because scuffs show up clearly on its light paint.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they suit the copper and teal scheme.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-new look at a lower cost than Factory New.
• Crafters who accept tiny edge marks.
• A sensible compromise between condition and price.
