USP-S | Caiman (Minimal Wear)

Minimal Wear (MW) on the USP-S | Caiman covers 0.07 to 0.15, a fifth of a finish scale that ends at 0.40. The skin is Classified rank, comes from The Huntsman Collection and drops from the Huntsman Weapon Case.

What the USP-S | Caiman looks like in Minimal Wear

A USP-S with a dark suppressor and a steel-gray slide. Turquoise-blue scales run along the back of the slide, and within them is the caiman's eye in red-orange, with a vertical pupil. The grip is orange and ribbed, and the magazine base is orange too.

In Minimal Wear the scales and the eye still read as a whole, and the scuffing starts at the edges of the slide and frame. The float is fixed when the skin drops, and the copy stays as it was.

What to check before buying

What to compare when choosing a USP-S | Caiman:

• float: within 0.07 to 0.15 the listings differ little;


• the edges of the slide and frame, where scuffs show first;


• stickers and a name tag on the listing: on the USP-S | Caiman they travel with it.

The pattern on the USP-S | Caiman is not a lottery. All copies look the same.

What the USP-S | Caiman costs in Minimal Wear

How the other wears compare:

• Factory New costs 2.2 times as much;


• Field-Tested is 1.2 times cheaper;


• Well-Worn costs 1.3 times as much.

The order is unusual: Well-Worn sits above Minimal Wear, because its band, 0.38 to 0.40, takes up only two hundredths of the scale. Among the nine Classified USP-S skins, this finish in MW is cheaper than six and dearer than two. USP-S | Orion and USP-S | Spiral Glitch are above it, USP-S | Cortex below.

Getting the USP-S | Caiman

To trade up into a USP-S | Caiman you need ten skins from the rank below, for example AUG | Torque, MAC-10 | Curse or XM1014 | Heaven Guard. Build the ten from The Huntsman Collection and the chance of this USP-S is one in four. Besides the contract, it drops from the Huntsman Weapon Case.

StatTrak exists for the USP-S | Caiman. There were never any souvenir packages for it.

Stickers and craft on the USP-S | Caiman

Light stickers show best on the gray slide. Turquoise ones sink into the scales, orange ones into the grip. Covering the eye is not advised: it is the main detail of the skin.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear is worth buying on the USP-S | Caiman if:

• you want a USP-S for CS2 with an almost untouched artwork, at a price 2.2 times below Factory New;


• you want a short float band, 0.07 to 0.15, in which listings are nearly identical;
