MAC-10 | Candy Apple (Minimal Wear)

The MAC-10 | Candy Apple in Minimal Wear (MW) has a float from 0.07 to 0.15. It is an Industrial Grade skin from The Train Collection, for Terrorists in CS2: a bright red top on a gray submachine gun.

What the MAC-10 | Candy Apple looks like in Minimal Wear

Only the upper receiver is painted red, a saturated glossy red. The frame, the grip, the guard and the magazine stay gray metal, and the sling is light gray. The whole lower part and the barrel are factory.

It is a solid fill with no pattern. The surface is smooth and glossy, and the receiver's standard slots and stampings are visible. There are no inscriptions.

In Minimal Wear the paint along the receiver edges and by the charging handle is worn back to gray metal. Wear is set at drop and stays the same.

Where the MAC-10 | Candy Apple came from

The Train Collection was added to the game in November 2013, and the skin appeared with the same update. Valve describes it as separate parts painted in solid colors. The tagline reads: "Great on cars, better on weapons."

The red receiver covers only the top, so stickers on the gray side do not compete with the color. White and black stickers work by contrast. Red stickers on the red fill vanish.
