P250 | X-Ray (Minimal Wear)

On the P250 | X-Ray, Minimal Wear (MW) takes the float band from 0.07 to 0.15, which is 27% of a finish scale that ends at 0.30. The rank is Restricted, and the collection is The X-Ray Collection. The skin has only three wears, from Field-Tested to Factory New. For CS2 this P250 in Minimal Wear is the middle of the finish.

What the P250 | X-Ray looks like in Minimal Wear

The pistol is painted as though an X-ray photograph were shown on it. The body is a translucent turquoise-green, and dark internals show through it: the spring, the parts of the slide and the cartridges in the grip. The grip and the trigger guard are light, with a mint tint, and the barrel is dark.

Minimal Wear keeps nearly all of the paint. At a float of 0.07 to 0.15 the scuffs run along the slide edges and the faces of the grip, and the dark drawing of the internals stays readable. The pattern is identical on every copy, and the only difference between them is the degree of wear.

Where the P250 | X-Ray came from

The X-Ray Collection was released in October 2019, and the skin has been in the set since it came out. Valve describes it in one line: a custom paint job on the P250 that shows the internals, as on an X-ray photograph. The sources name no author.

What to check before buying

A listing of this pistol is chosen by the following:

• the float: this wear covers the band from 0.07 to 0.15;


• a name tag and stickers that come with the copy;


• the item version: the finish has StatTrak, and those listings are sold separately.

A "rare" pattern cannot be bought here, since the artwork is the same on all copies. Within 0.07 to 0.15 there is no best copy to look for.

What the P250 | X-Ray costs in Minimal Wear

• Factory New costs 1.67 times as much;


• Field-Tested is cheaper by 1.12 times.

The skin's scale is short, and the three wears lie in a narrow price corridor: from Field-Tested up to Factory New the gap is under two times.

Among Restricted P250 skins, this one is the cheapest of twelve in this wear. The nearest to it in price, Cyber Shell and Inferno, cost a little over twice as much, Nevermore almost three times, and Supernova six and a half times. The top of the row is held by Red Rock, Digital Architect and Nuclear Threat.

Getting the P250 | X-Ray

The skin belongs to The X-Ray Collection. A trade-up contract cannot produce it: the result follows the collection of the inputs, and that collection has no skin of a rank below Restricted.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The P250 | X-Ray has a StatTrak version, and the finish has no Souvenir packages.

Stickers and craft on the P250 | X-Ray

The turquoise background with dark internals is busy, and small stickers get lost on it. Large light stickers stand out more, and dark ones look better on the light grip. The drawing of parts and the spring is best left open, since it is the essence of the finish.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear on the P250 | X-Ray is worth buying for these reasons:

• you want a P250 with the turquoise X-ray drawing and clean paint, without paying 1.67 times as much for Factory New;


• it matters that the dark internals read in full;


• the band of 0.07 to 0.15 suits you: the choice here goes by price, not by float.

If wear is acceptable, Field-Tested is cheaper by 1.12 times.
