P2000 | Amber Fade (Minimal Wear)

The P2000 | Amber Fade in Minimal Wear (MW) has a float band of 0.07 to 0.15. That is 20% of the skin's scale, which runs from 0.00 to 0.40. It is a pistol for the Counter-Terrorist side in CS2, Restricted rank, from The Dust 2 Collection. The skin has no regular case: copies come from tournament Souvenir packages, from DreamHack 2013 to Berlin 2019. It has four wears, from Factory New to Well-Worn.

What the P2000 | Amber Fade looks like in Minimal Wear

Polished metal carries a smooth color transition along the length of the pistol, with no pattern. At the muzzle it is dark olive and greenish. Toward the middle of the slide it turns golden amber, and at the rear and on the grip it goes reddish brown. The magazine base is gray.

The gradient runs along the whole model in one wave: the top of the slide is the most golden, and the frame and grip are darker. There are no empty zones, but no accents either. The surface is mirror-like, with serrations visible on the slide and grooves on the grip, and no lettering.

Valve describes the skin as transparent paints airbrushed over a chrome base. The degree of scuffing is set when the skin drops, and on polished metal it does not grow later.

What to check before buying

When choosing a P2000 | Amber Fade, pay attention to the following:

• float: the 0.07 to 0.15 stretch is short, so there is almost nothing to choose by;


• whether the P2000 | Amber Fade carries stickers and an applied name tag;


• the type of copy: Souvenir ones carry the tournament's gold stickers and a player autograph.

What the P2000 | Amber Fade costs in Minimal Wear

Factory New costs 2.62 times more. Field-Tested is 1.29 times cheaper. The skin's whole row fits into four wears, and nothing lies below Well-Worn.

Among the seven Restricted P2000 skins in this wear, the P2000 | Amber Fade is the lowest-priced, and the other six cost more. Closest are the Acid Etched and the Handgun, about 2 to 3 times higher. The Obsidian costs 8 times more, the Space Race more still, and the Woodsman and Scorpion tens of times more.

Getting the P2000 | Amber Fade

The skin has no regular case. It drops from the Dust II tournament Souvenir packages, thirteen of them, from DreamHack 2013 to Berlin 2019. For the P2000 | Amber Fade, a trade-up takes ten skins one rank lower from the same set. From the skin itself, a contract leads to the R8 Revolver | Amber Fade.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The P2000 | Amber Fade has no StatTrak version. Souvenir copies exist: they were handed out in the Dust II tournament packages, and they are also built through the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the P2000 | Amber Fade

The mirror surface with no pattern leaves a clean field for a sticker. The dark olive muzzle and the reddish-brown grip give dark backgrounds, and the golden middle of the slide gives a light one.

Who this wear suits

Buying the P2000 | Amber Fade in this wear makes sense if:

• you want a pistol with a smooth transition from olive to amber to brown;


• it matters to take Minimal Wear at a price noticeably below Factory New;


• you are putting together a set around The Dust 2 Collection and Souvenir copies.
