AUG | Amber Fade (Minimal Wear)

Minimal Wear (MW) on the AUG | Amber Fade means a float of 0.07 to 0.15 on a rifle with a smooth color transition. It is a Mil-Spec skin from The 2021 Train Collection, for the Counter-Terrorist side. You can buy the AUG | Amber Fade for CS2 in four wears, from Factory New to Well-Worn.

What the AUG | Amber Fade looks like in Minimal Wear

The gradient runs from olive green to orange at the back. The front and the handguard are gray-olive, and toward the stock the color passes through yellow-green into a warm orange. The transition is smooth, with no borders, and there is no artwork or lettering on it.

The gradient shows only on the body and the stock. The barrel, the sight and the grip are dark gray, and the magazine is light gray with a mesh. Valve describes the technique this way: transparent paints are airbrushed over a chrome base and blend into each other. Wear is fixed when the skin drops, and in Minimal Wear it lies between 0.07 and 0.15.

What to check before buying

When choosing an AUG | Amber Fade, pay attention to the following:

• float: you can buy the AUG | Amber Fade with a float from 0.07 to 0.15;


• whether the AUG | Amber Fade carries stickers and an applied name.

There is almost nothing to choose by float on the AUG | Amber Fade, since the span of 0.07 to 0.15 is short.
