USP-S | Cyrex (Minimal Wear)

In Minimal Wear (MW) the USP-S | Cyrex is second from the top of five: the white wedge on the frame is almost clean and the red marks are bright. Floats here run from 0.07 to 0.15. The skin is Restricted, belongs to The Glove Collection and drops from the Glove Case. In CS2, Minimal Wear costs 6.7 times less than Factory New.

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

Dark gray, white and red make up the whole palette. The suppressor and slide are dark along their full length. White goes to the front half of the frame with the trigger guard and to the base of the magazine. Red rings and a triangle sit on the suppressor, a panel signed CYREX on the slide, and another triangle on the grip. The white wedge cuts into the dark along a diagonal, and the red details are placed sparingly.

Wear stays light in Minimal Wear. It touches the white areas first, while the red edges are still bright. The whole wear fits within 0.07 to 0.15, so listings look alike.

Where the USP-S | Cyrex came from

Nextgenz is the artist behind the finish. The skin appeared in November 2016, when The Glove Collection was added to the game, and its number in Valve's catalog is 637. Valve's description calls the USP a favorite of Counter-Strike Source fans.

What to check before buying

Before paying, it helps to check:

• float between 0.07 and 0.15: near the lower bound the white wedge is cleaner;


• the stickers and name tag already on this copy of the USP-S | Cyrex;


• whether the listing is regular or StatTrak.

The USP-S | Cyrex has no pattern variants, so there is nothing to choose by there.

Getting the USP-S | Cyrex

The skin drops from the Glove Case. You can also build it instead of buying it: a contract takes ten skins from the rank below. Fill the contract from this collection alone and it has five Restricted skins, which gives a one-in-five chance at the USP-S.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The USP-S | Cyrex comes with StatTrak. Souvenir packages do not include this finish, though the Souvenir-O-Matic can produce a Souvenir copy.

Stickers and craft on the USP-S | Cyrex

Two backgrounds share one pistol: the white frame and the dark suppressor. Dark stickers read on the white, light ones on the suppressor and slide, and red ones echo the marks of the finish. In Minimal Wear the white part is almost clean, so a sticker there does not compete with scuffs.

Who this wear suits

The USP-S | Cyrex in Minimal Wear makes sense when:

• you want a USP-S for CS2 with an almost clean white wedge, at a price 6.7 times below Factory New;


• the red marks on dark metal matter more than zero wear;


• you pick the listing by its number: at 0.07 the look is the cleanest in this wear.
