R8 Revolver | Amber Fade (Minimal Wear)

This is the R8 Revolver | Amber Fade in Minimal Wear (MW), and its band is short: 0.07 to 0.15, a fifth of the finish's scale. The skin is Classified and belongs to The Dust 2 Collection.

What the R8 Revolver | Amber Fade looks like in Minimal Wear

The base is chrome under translucent paints. Green lies on the barrel and the upper frame, then turns amber and copper-brown toward the cylinder, the hammer and the rear. The grip is gray, smooth and plain.

In MW the chrome only just shows through on the edges and the raised corners. The gradient shines almost everywhere, and the smooth transition from green to amber reads clearly. The wear is chosen once, at drop.

What to check before buying

A listing of the R8 Revolver | Amber Fade is judged by these points:

• float: inside 0.07 to 0.15 the difference between the ends of the band shows only up close;


• the shine of the gradient on the cylinder and the hammer;


• stickers and a name tag, if the previous owner left them on this R8 Revolver | Amber Fade.

Within 0.07 to 0.15 there is no better copy of the R8 Revolver | Amber Fade to hunt for.

What the R8 Revolver | Amber Fade costs in Minimal Wear

The other wears against Minimal Wear:

• Factory New is dearer by a factor of 2.4;


• Field-Tested (FT) is cheaper by a factor of 1.1;


• Well-Worn is dearer by a factor of 2.7.

For this finish, MW and FT sit side by side, while Well-Worn and Factory New are clearly higher. Among Classified revolvers the R8 Revolver | Amber Fade is the cheaper of the pair here: the R8 Revolver | Llama Cannon is dearer by more than ten times.

Getting the R8 Revolver | Amber Fade

The skin does not appear in regular cases. It drops from the Souvenir packages of Dust 2 tournaments.

To get the R8 Revolver | Amber Fade from a trade-up, ten skins of the rank below go into the contract. The inputs may come from different collections, but the result is tied to the collection of one of them. Choosing ten Restricted skins from Dust 2 steers the result to this revolver, since the collection has only one Classified skin.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The R8 Revolver | Amber Fade has no StatTrak version. A Souvenir version exists: the finish is part of the Souvenir packages of tournaments played on Dust 2.

Stickers and craft on the R8 Revolver | Amber Fade

Chrome and gradient run across the whole frame, so apart from the gray grip there is no flat patch for a sticker. In MW the shine at the edges is intact, and a sticker looks clean next to it. Light stickers show up better on the green part.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear on the R8 Revolver | Amber Fade is worth it for three reasons:

• the price is close to Field-Tested, and the chrome shine is better preserved;


• the green-to-amber transition has almost no scuffs;


• the revolver goes into CS2 matches, yet the chrome base should not be worn away.
