Five-SeveN | Boost Protocol (Well-Worn)

The Five-SeveN | Boost Protocol (Well-Worn) is a Restricted pistol finish featuring a bold, custom high-contrast paint job, here at a heavier wear grade. It's the cheapest way onto this finish's price ladder while keeping the palette recognizable.

Design

The finish's identity comes from strong color contrast baked into a custom paint scheme, favoring bold, clashing tones over anything blended or subtle. It's the work of community designer dre, marked in-game with the callsign "MECHA 0272."

Five-SeveN | Boost Protocol (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

This finish is capped at a 0.41 float, so even its heaviest wear here stops short of the game's most battered look — there's no Battle-Scarred grade for Boost Protocol at all. Well-Worn shows noticeable scuffing and paint thinning across the slide, but the high-contrast colors still read clearly through it.

Five-SeveN | Boost Protocol Rarity

It's a Restricted-tier finish, the purple grade sitting just below Classified among the game's standard weapon-skin rarities.

Five-SeveN | Boost Protocol Case and Collection

Boost Protocol is part of The Operation Riptide Collection, opened from the Operation Riptide Case introduced with Operation Riptide in September 2021. Restricted skins from that case drop at about 15.98% as a shared tier rate, making this one of the more attainable pulls among the case's contents.

Five-SeveN | Boost Protocol Patterns

No paint seed affects this finish's look — every copy carries the same fixed high-contrast design, with no "blue gem" variant to search for. Wear grade and the exact float number are the only real distinctions between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version exists in addition to the standard finish, adding a permanent confirmed-kill counter that travels with the item through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir edition, as Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages and this finish was never part of one.

Five-SeveN | Boost Protocol Price

Well-Worn is the entry point of the range, the cheapest grade available for this finish, though the capped float means it's noticeably milder-looking than a Well-Worn copy of a full-range skin. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Well-Worn Boost Protocol a good budget pick?

Yes. It's the cheapest available grade for this finish, and since the float never climbs to the game's harshest levels, Well-Worn copies still look milder than a Well-Worn skin with a full 0-to-1 float range.

Why is there no Battle-Scarred Boost Protocol?

The finish's float caps out at 0.41, well short of what Battle-Scarred requires, so the game simply never generates a copy rough enough to qualify — Well-Worn is as low as it goes.

Does StatTrak Well-Worn exist for this finish?

Yes, StatTrak is available at every wear this finish offers, including Well-Worn, adding a permanent kill counter for a price above the standard version at the same grade.
