FAMAS | Roll Cage (Minimal Wear)

This FAMAS | Roll Cage in Minimal Wear (MW) has barely been touched at the edges. The red splashes and the black arc look almost as they do on a factory copy. The skin is Covert rank, part of The Gamma 2 Collection, and drops from the Gamma 2 Case. Float runs from 0.07 to 0.15.

What the FAMAS | Roll Cage looks like in Minimal Wear

The rifle is black and cream. The receiver, the arc-shaped carry handle, the barrel and the grip are black, while the handguard, the barrel cover and the magazine are beige-cream. Red splashes run along the handguard and down the magazine, and small white icons and lettering follow the arc. The stock carries a light panel with black strokes across it.

In Minimal Wear the pale marks show up on the edges: along the rim of the arc and the border of the grip. The red patches on the flat faces of the handguard and magazine stay untouched, so the artwork reads as clearly as it does in Factory New.

Where the FAMAS | Roll Cage came from

The Gamma 2 Collection was released in August 2016, and the FAMAS | Roll Cage has been part of it since the start. Among the collection's Covert skins it stands next to the AK-47 | Neon Revolution. According to Valve, the theme of the artwork is a car body spattered with mud.

What to check before buying

When choosing a listing, these points matter:

• float: in this wear the range is 0.07 to 0.15;


• pale edges on the arc, which show how far a copy has moved from the lower bound;


• any stickers and name tag already on the copy.

There is no pattern variance on this finish: what one listing shows, the others show too. The scale gives this wear only 0.07 to 0.15, which is 8% of the full range, so copies look alike.

What the FAMAS | Roll Cage costs in Minimal Wear

The other wears stand like this against Minimal Wear:

• Factory New costs about 12% more;


• Field-Tested costs about 6% less;


• Well-Worn costs about 11% less;


• Battle-Scarred costs almost 12% less.

The gap between the two extremes is about a quarter, and Minimal Wear sits nearer the top. Of the three Covert FAMAS skins, this finish is the priciest in this wear. FAMAS | Bad Trip is more than twice as cheap, and FAMAS | Commemoration is three and a half times cheaper.

Getting the FAMAS | Roll Cage

The skin comes out of a trade-up contract, which takes ten skins of the rank below. If they are from this collection, it has only two Covert skins, so the odds are one in two.

It has just one case, the Gamma 2 Case.

StatTrak and Souvenir

A StatTrak version of the FAMAS | Roll Cage exists. No souvenir packages were ever released for this finish.

Stickers and craft on the FAMAS | Roll Cage

The light stock panel and the black grip suit stickers best. Red stickers merge into the splashes on the handguard, while yellow and white ones stand out more cleanly on the panel. In Minimal Wear the edges still hold their paint, so keep a sticker away from them.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear on the FAMAS | Roll Cage makes sense in three cases:

• you want a Covert FAMAS with nearly intact edges, at a price about a tenth below the factory one;


• you want an even artwork with no scuffs on the red patches;


• you need the skin to complete a CS2 inventory, where the gap between listings within 0.07 to 0.15 is negligible.
