R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon (Minimal Wear)

The R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon in Minimal Wear (MW) is the second-cleanest copy of the finish. Its floats run from 0.07 to 0.15. Its rank is Restricted, and its set is The Revolution Collection.

What the R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon looks like in Minimal Wear

A ripe banana is rendered in yellow. The barrel, frame and grip are painted with it, in places it darkens to ochre, and brown smudges of grime lie on top. The cylinder and the rail are dark metal. Blue-and-white labels decorate the grip and the area by the cylinder, and a line of lettering with numbers is printed on the barrel.

In Minimal Wear the paint lightens at the corners of the grip and along the frame edge. The grime is painted on, so the scuffing blends into the design and is hard to tell apart by eye.

Where the R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon came from

A Workshop author known as "123" made the finish. Valve's catalog lists it as number 1232, and it came out in the Revolution Case with the rest of the community finishes. The skin reached the game on February 10, 2023, the day The Revolution Collection was added.

What to check before buying

When comparing listings of the R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon, look at:

• float, between 0.07 and 0.15;


• the grip corners and frame edge, where the yellow lightens;


• stickers and a name tag left on the revolver by a previous owner.

There is no point searching by pattern index: the artwork does not change.

You can buy here almost blind, because the band of 0.07 to 0.15 is tight.

Getting the R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon

StatTrak and Souvenir

A StatTrak version of the R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon exists. The finish has no Souvenir packages.

Stickers and craft on the R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon

The yellow base and the dark cylinder give stickers two backgrounds. Blue and white ones pick up the labels on the grip, while dark ones look better on the yellow frame.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear is a sensible buy on the R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon when:

• you want yellow paint without visible scuffs, at under a third of the Factory New price;


• the band of 0.07 to 0.15 is small enough that there is no choosing by number;


• you want a revolver where painted grime matters more than real wear.

In CS2 this wear differs from its neighbors only in the state of the paint on the edges.
