USP-S | Monster Mashup (Well-Worn)

The USP-S | Monster Mashup in Well-Worn (WW) is the fourth of five wears of a Classified USP with a green monster. The Operation Broken Fang Case is the only source of the skin. The float range for this wear is 0.38 to 0.45, which is 10% of a scale that ends at 0.70.

What the USP-S | Monster Mashup looks like in Well-Worn

The skin rests on a contrast of white and green. White teeth sit in an even row along the lower edge of the slide. Above them the slide is light green and lime, with a yellow-green stripe along the top. The frame and grip are dark teal, and the grip carries a scene in yellow, orange, blue and green.

The suppressor is blue-green with a bare end. On the slide is a word in green letters and a black cross, and on the suppressor an icon with X-shaped eyes. The trigger is iridescent orange-pink.

In Well-Worn the teeth along the lower edge of the slide, together with the front cut and the serrations, are already visibly scuffed. The pale stripes on the suppressor rings fade next, while the light-green field and the scene on the grip hold up better.

Where the USP-S | Monster Mashup came from

The author of the skin is Nextgenz; his Steam Workshop entry is titled "USP-S | Krokos" and dated March 6, 2020. The USP-S | Monster Mashup appeared on December 3, 2020, when the Operation Broken Fang collection was added to the game. In Valve's catalog it is number 991.

What to check before buying

Worth comparing on the USP-S | Monster Mashup:

• the float, which sits between 0.38 and 0.45;


• how many teeth on the slide read whole;


• any stickers on the body, and a name tag if one is applied.

Every copy of the finish is painted the same way. The 0.38 to 0.45 band is tight, and the listings at either end differ by the number alone.

Getting the USP-S | Monster Mashup

The USP-S | Monster Mashup drops only from the Operation Broken Fang Case.

For a contract to produce the USP-S | Monster Mashup, you put in ten skins of the rank below. If they all come from its collection, it has three Classified skins, so the odds are one in three. Above come the Covert Glock-18 | Neo-Noir and M4A1-S | Printstream.

StatTrak and Souvenir

You can find the USP-S | Monster Mashup with StatTrak. Souvenir packages for this finish were never made; they went only to tournament map collections. A Souvenir copy is still something you can build yourself, as the Souvenir-O-Matic puts gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on an ordinary skin from the inventory.

Stickers and craft on the USP-S | Monster Mashup

The free plane on the pistol is the suppressor, dark blue-green. Stickers with a dense black or white fill read best on it. Better not to cover the slide with its teeth and lettering: it is the core of the artwork.

Who this wear suits

Well-Worn makes sense for the USP-S | Monster Mashup if:

• you want a green USP for CS2 whose artwork reads even with scuffed teeth;


• you accept visible wear in CS2 and want to skip the 1.4 times premium for Minimal Wear;


• you choose by picture rather than number: the 0.38 to 0.45 band is short.

Battle-Scarred is cheaper by only 13%, but its band is wider and its wear heavier.
