Five-SeveN | Buddy (Minimal Wear)

The Five-SeveN | Buddy (Minimal Wear) is a Restricted pistol finish covered in custom camo patterns with a CT mark under the rear sight. This grade keeps that camo work looking sharp while sitting a step below the priciest copies.

Design

The finish combines layered camo patterning across the slide with a subtle CT symbol placed beneath the rear sight — a detail-driven design rather than a single bold motif. Freddy, the community designer behind it, gave it the in-game line "I've got your six."

Five-SeveN | Buddy (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

With Buddy's float running from 0.00 to 0.55, Minimal Wear lands just under the top grade, showing only the faintest softening in the camo detail on close inspection. The CT mark beneath the sight remains fully readable at this level.

Five-SeveN | Buddy Rarity

It's a Restricted-grade finish, sitting one tier below Classified on the game's standard weapon-skin rarity ladder — an uncommon but not top-end grade.

Five-SeveN | Buddy Case and Collection

Buddy comes from The CS20 Collection, tied to the CS20 Case released on October 18, 2019. Restricted-tier pulls from that case land around 15.98% as a group, keeping this a reasonably common find among its case-mates even now.

Five-SeveN | Buddy Patterns

Every copy shows the identical camo layout and CT placement, since this is a fixed design with no random paint seed and no "blue gem" variant to look for. Only wear grade and float number distinguish individual copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version of this finish exists alongside the standard one, its kill counter permanent once active and carried through trades and sales. Souvenir copies were never made, since that variant only comes from Major-tournament packages.

Five-SeveN | Buddy Price

Minimal Wear sits just under Factory New on the price ladder, offering nearly the same crisp camo detail for less — a sensible step for an already affordable mid-tier pistol skin. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear a good alternative to Factory New Buddy?

Generally yes — the visual gap is small at this end of the float range, so Minimal Wear keeps the camo pattern and CT mark looking sharp while trimming a bit off the price of the top grade.

Which gloves suit the Buddy skin?

Its earthy camo palette pairs naturally with olive, tan, or other muted-tone gloves that match a military look, keeping the loadout cohesive without fighting the pattern for attention.

What collection is Buddy part of?

It belongs to The CS20 Collection, released together with the CS20 Case on October 18, 2019, making it one of the camo-focused options tied to that particular drop.
