MAG-7 | Core Breach (Minimal Wear)

The MAG-7 | Core Breach (Minimal Wear) is a Restricted shotgun skin with orange radioactive symbols set over a black base. Minimal Wear keeps that industrial graphic nearly spotless while sitting a step below Factory New on price.

Design

The finish prints a spread of orange radioactive hazard markings across a matte black body — a stark, industrial design that trades on contrast instead of a full palette. Valve made it, and it ships with a fitting in-game quip: "Safety protocols have failed."

MAG-7 | Core Breach (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Minimal Wear falls just above Factory New on the 0.00–1.00 scale, so the black base stays dark and the orange symbols hold their punch, with only faint edge wear turning up under close inspection. At normal range most copies still read as untouched. It's a smart middle ground for near-mint contrast at a lower price than the top grade.

MAG-7 | Core Breach Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the purple tier. It sits in the middle of the standard weapon grades — a rung above Mil-Spec, a rung below Classified — and it's an uncommon grade to unbox, which supports the finish's value.

MAG-7 | Core Breach Case and Collection

The finish comes from The 2018 Nuke Collection, introduced on September 3, 2018 with the FACEIT 2018 update. Its Restricted tier appears about 15.98% of the time (an odds figure shared among the tier's skins), and since the collection left the active pool years ago, most regular copies change hands on the market.

MAG-7 | Core Breach Patterns

Every copy is identical in layout — the artwork is fixed, and the paint seed has no bearing on how the orange symbols wrap the black base. That means there's no blue-gem seed or standout pattern to track down; the only variables between copies are wear and float.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak edition was never made, because StatTrak is produced only by weapon cases and this skin descends from a collection with none. What does exist alongside the regular finish is a Souvenir version, first distributed in the London 2018 Nuke Souvenir Package and, after that, further Major souvenir packages.

MAG-7 | Core Breach Price

Minimal Wear sits one step down from Factory New on the price ladder, keeping almost the same look for a little less — still a premium finish within the MAG-7 range. 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 different. Minimal Wear adds only faint edge wear that's hard to catch outside close zoom, so the black base stays deep and the orange symbols stay bold. Because it usually costs less than Factory New, it's often the smarter buy for players who prize the contrast over a perfect float number.

Is Core Breach a good MAG-7 pick?

Yes, if you want something that stands out. As a Restricted finish it's rarer and pricier than the Mil-Spec MAG-7 skins, and the orange-on-black hazard look is one of the boldest in the lineup. Minimal Wear gives you that near-mint contrast without paying the full Factory New premium.

Does StatTrak exist for this skin?

No. StatTrak versions are minted only by weapon cases, and Core Breach comes from The 2018 Nuke Collection, which was never paired with a StatTrak-minting case. You'll find only the regular finish and a Souvenir edition — the latter from Major-tournament packages rather than a case.
