AUG | Midnight Lily (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Midnight Lily is recognisable by its dark base and pearlescent lilies that change colour with the light. Because the skin's float range stops well short of the heaviest wear, Battle-Scarred copies keep more of the pattern than many other skins at this grade, though the edges and grips are clearly scratched to metal. It is the most affordable route to the design with a rugged, used look.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The main body and stock of the AUG are covered in a tight, scale-like pattern of lilies over a near-black base, painted in pearlescent paint that shifts between green, violet, pink and silver. The same iridescent finish carries onto the pistol grip, the vertical foregrip and the trigger guard, which read lighter and more silvery.

The grips, trigger guard and stock edges are heavily scratched to metal, and wear reaches onto the upper body and the area around the magazine. Because the float range ends early, the side panels still carry a recognisable portion of the lily pattern. In game the rifle reads as dark and battered with patches of shimmer. It still looks more complete than a typical skin at this grade.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.5

The whole float range of AUG | Midnight Lily is 0–0.5; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.5 segment (10% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Which stickers suit it

Holographic and foil stickers suit the pearlescent paint, especially in green, violet or silver tones that echo the colour shift. Placing them on the dark side panel of the body keeps them readable against the pattern, while very bright or busy designs can clash with the restrained look.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the grade, as the stock edges and grips show the difference first.
• Look at the pistol grip and foregrip in the inspect view, since their lighter finish shows scratches clearly.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so check whether they fit what you want.
• Review any name tag and stickers, as they affect how the dark body reads.
