AUG | Plague (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

AUG | Plague shows its dark fantasy roots through a grim body covered in pale tracery and a plain black barrel. Battle-Scarred leaves the ornament broken and faded, with bare grey patches along edges and protruding parts. For a horror-themed finish this rough, weathered look can feel fitting, and it is the cheapest way to own the skin.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver, stock and top rail are finished in a dark charcoal base covered with a pale silvery ornament of veins, loops and filigree that reads like engraving. The same pattern runs over the trigger guard and the scope mount, while the barrel and muzzle stay plain matte black.

Large bare grey patches cover the stock, trigger guard, top rail and front edges, and the ornament is broken into fragments. The dark base is heavily faded across the body. In game the pattern is hard to make out, and the rifle reads as a weathered grey-black shape. Some traces of tracery remain on the flatter central surfaces.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.76

The whole float range of AUG | Plague is 0–0.76; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.76 segment (41% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

StatTrak™ and Souvenir

There is also a the StatTrak™ version: the counter on the weapon tracks kills. Right now it is 1.5× dearer than the regular one. There is also a the Souvenir version with tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

Silver, white, black and holo stickers in monochrome tones blend with the pale engraving and keep the gloomy mood. A single accent in amber or copper echoes the magazine. Placements on the flat side of the stock read best against the dark base.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the edges of the stock and the trigger guard show the difference first.
• Look at the inspect view of the stock butt and top rail, as these parts lose the fine ornament earliest.
• Check applied stickers and a name tag, which can change how the dark finish looks on the body.
• Compare a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy against a regular one if the counter or the souvenir status matters to you.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget entry for anyone who simply wants AUG | Plague in the inventory.
