AUG | Ricochet (Minimal Wear)

The AUG | Ricochet (Minimal Wear, MW) carries the same cyan knotwork pattern on a Mil-Spec rifle skin, just past its sharpest Factory New (FN) state. It's the grade most players land on when they want the design looking nearly flawless without paying top price.

Design

A two-tone knotwork motif in cyan runs across the body, a kinetic pattern that favors clean linework over busy detail. Community artist emti put this one together, and the finish ships with its own flavor line: "Kotaro doesn't need our protection - The Valkyrie and The Paramour Part 2."

AUG | Ricochet (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

With the skin's float running 0.00 to 0.80, Minimal Wear falls just above the Factory New floor. The knotwork still looks tight and legible at this grade, with only the lightest, easy-to-miss wear starting to show on close inspection.

AUG | Ricochet Rarity

Mil-Spec Grade, the blue tier — the baseline rarity most case skins share, ranked below Restricted, Classified, and Covert. Nothing exotic about pulling one; it's the tier the odds favor most.

AUG | Ricochet Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Revolver Case Collection, tied to the Revolver Case that launched with CS:GO's Winter Update back in December 2015. Because Mil-Spec covers roughly 79.92% of the case's outcomes as a tier, this is one of the more commonly unboxed finishes in the pool.

AUG | Ricochet Patterns

There's no random variation to the knotwork lines — the layout is identical across every copy of the Ricochet, so hunting for a rare paint seed is pointless here. Only the wear grade and exact float number separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish also comes in a StatTrak™ version out of the same Revolver Case, tacking on a kill counter that's permanent and travels with the item through every trade. No Souvenir copies were ever made, since Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages and this skin has never appeared in one.

AUG | Ricochet Price

Minimal Wear runs just under Factory New on the price ladder, giving up a small amount of value for a fraction less cost. It's a solid pick if you want the design near its cleanest without paying the Factory New premium, still sitting in the skin's affordable mid-tier bracket. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How different does Minimal Wear look from Factory New?

Barely at all. Both grades sit near the bottom of the float range, so the cyan knotwork looks essentially identical at a glance in either grade. Minimal Wear usually costs a bit less, making it the smarter pick unless you specifically want the lowest possible float number.

Does the AUG | Ricochet have a StatTrak version?

Yes. A StatTrak™ copy drops from the same Revolver Case and adds a permanent confirmed-kill counter that stays with the skin through trades and sales. It's rarer and costs more than the standard finish, but otherwise looks identical.

Is Minimal Wear a good value grade?

Generally yes — it keeps almost all of the visual sharpness of Factory New while trimming some of the cost. For most players it's the best-looking grade per dollar spent on the Ricochet.
