AK-47 | The Outsiders (Well-Worn)

Well-Worn (WW) is the fourth of the five wears for the AK-47 | The Outsiders. This wear's float band lies between 0.38 and 0.45. Its rank is Classified, and it drops from the Gallery Case.

What the AK-47 | The Outsiders looks like in Well-Worn

The base is orange-red, with green stripes laid over it along the barrel, handguard and stock. A yellow school bus is drawn on top of the receiver. Small hand-drawn pictures are scattered across the whole body, and no zone is left empty. The metal along the edges is reddish.

With so many drawings on the body, wear in Well-Worn does not stand out on a single patch. It spreads along the edges of the parts and the magazine ribs instead. The 0.38 to 0.45 stretch takes up 8% of the finish's scale.

Where the AK-47 | The Outsiders came from

The idea came from the Steam Workshop. The author, m03h, posted the work "AK-47 | T BUS" there on June 17, 2024, and signed it "NOT SHOOL BUS". The Gallery Collection with this rifle reached the game together with the Gallery Case. In the update note, Valve listed three weapon collections, two keychain collections and two sticker collections.

The finish carries number 113 in Valve's catalog. Its release date is October 2, 2024.

What to check before buying

When buying this rifle, check the following:

• Float between 0.38 and 0.45, although the difference inside the band is small.


• Stickers and a name tag already sitting on that copy.

Every copy shows the same pattern. You can buy this one almost blind, because the 0.38 to 0.45 band is tight.

What the AK-47 | The Outsiders costs in Well-Worn

Measured against Well-Worn, the other wears price out like this:

• Factory New is almost eight times the price.


• Minimal Wear costs about twice as much.


• Field-Tested costs about a seventh more.


• Battle-Scarred is about an eighth cheaper.

The three lower wears lie close to one another, and the main jump happens above them. For a skin with so little spread, the surcharge for clean condition is large.

Among Classified AK-47s, this skin sits in one group with the AK-47 | Phantom Disruptor and AK-47 | Ice Coaled, which are almost level with it. The AK-47 | Searing Rage is about a fifth cheaper. The top of the row is held by the AK-47 | Hydroponic, AK-47 | Jet Set and AK-47 | Case Hardened.

Getting the AK-47 | The Outsiders

This skin drops from the Gallery Case. For a trade-up, you hand in ten skins from the rank below. The P90 | Randy Rush and SSG 08 | Rapid Transit are examples.

The outcome of a trade-up is random, since the collection holds three Classified skins. The inputs decide the wear of the finished skin.

StatTrak and Souvenir

There is a StatTrak™ version of the AK-47 | The Outsiders. Souvenir packages for this finish were never issued, because they existed only for tournament map collections. A Souvenir copy can still be made at home: the Souvenir-O-Matic applies gold tournament stickers and a player autograph to an ordinary skin from the inventory.

Stickers and craft on the AK-47 | The Outsiders

The artwork on the body is small and dense, so stickers with a clear, large shape sit best. Dark stickers separate from the orange ground, while green ones get lost among the stripes. The stock and the lower part of the handguard are the places for a craft, and the receiver cover is better left uncovered.

Who this wear suits

Well-Worn is worth buying on this skin under these conditions:

• you want an inexpensive AK of this finish for a CS2 collection, but not the most battered one.


• the drawings on the body matter more than even paint, and float decides little.


• you play the skin in CS2, where scuffs on a busy base do not catch the eye.

Choosing between Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, the price is nearly the same, and the 0.38 to 0.45 band holds less wear.
