For the AK-47 | Breakthrough, Minimal Wear (MW) occupies the band from 0.07 to 0.15 on a finish scale that ends at 0.75. It is a Restricted skin that does not come from cases: the rifle belongs to The Achroma Collection.
What the AK-47 | Breakthrough looks like in Minimal Wear
The design is strictly monochrome. Across a black-gray body run broad white-gray strokes at a slant, torn at the edges and surrounded by tiny specks of spray. The white band passes through the handguard, the receiver and the stock without a break. The magazine and the grip are left unpainted and read as dark metal.
The narrowest strokes, on the raised ribs of the handguard and the corners of the stock, are already thinner than on a Factory New copy. The wide band on the side of the receiver is intact, and the black base hides scratches.
Where the AK-47 | Breakthrough came from
No Steam Workshop author stands behind the AK-47 | Breakthrough: the design came from Valve itself. The skin entered the game on January 21, 2026 with The Achroma Collection. Its number in Valve's catalog is 1358.
What to check before buying
Here is what changes from one AK-47 | Breakthrough listing to the next:
- float: from 0.07 to 0.15, and the higher the number, the lighter the metal along the edges;
- stroke placement: the finish is applied as a film, so the artwork sits differently from copy to copy;
- any stickers or name tag the previous owner left behind.
The 0.07 to 0.15 band is narrow, and the copies are almost impossible to tell apart.
What the AK-47 | Breakthrough costs in Minimal Wear
Factory New costs almost double. Field-Tested is cheaper by almost a factor of two, Well-Worn by a factor of more than one and a half, and Battle-Scarred by a factor of a little over two.
Among Restricted AK-47 finishes in this wear, the skin is third from the bottom of nine. Emerald Pinstripe and Safety Net are slightly cheaper. Above it come Rat Rod, Midnight Laminate and Slate, and at the very top Blue Laminate, Orbit Mk01 and First Class.
Getting the AK-47 | Breakthrough
The trade-up route takes ten Mil-Spec skins from any collections, and the result comes from the collection of one of the inputs. If all ten are taken from The Achroma Collection (a choice, not a condition), the output is one of the set's two Restricted skins. The collection is on Valve's weekly reward list.
StatTrak and Souvenir
The AK-47 | Breakthrough has no StatTrak version. No Souvenir packages carry this finish either.
Stickers and craft on the AK-47 | Breakthrough
The strokes run diagonally, and stickers placed along them look natural. Colored stickers stand out most on a black-and-white base. White ones are better kept on the dark parts, away from the wide bands.
Who this wear suits
Minimal Wear makes sense for the AK-47 | Breakthrough when:
- you want a CS2 rifle with no obvious scuffs but without paying extra for the top band;
- it matters that the white band on the receiver reads as a whole;
- you need a monochrome base for colored stickers.
