AUG | Radiation Hazard (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the most beaten version of this finish, but the float range stops before the very heaviest wear, so the stripe pattern is still recognisable. Expect broken stripes and plenty of exposed dark base, which gives the cheapest entry to the design.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The body of the AUG is a dark charcoal grey, while the barrel, scope and top rail stay plain dark metal without paint. Bright red-orange diagonal stripes run across the rear of the stock, the trigger guard and the lower part of the frame, and the foregrip carries irregular red splashes like rough spray marks.

The grips, trigger guard and magazine are heavily worn, and the stripes on the stock are broken into short pieces. Much of the dark base is exposed across the painted parts. In game the AUG looks dark and weathered, with only traces of red. The pattern is still recognisable because the range stops before the most extreme wear.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since the stripes on the stock edges and grips show the difference first.
• Look at the foregrip and the bottom of the magazine on the inspect screen, as these parts lose paint early.
• A Souvenir version exists, so make sure the listing shows the version you actually want.
• Check any applied stickers and name tag, as they change how the stock and frame look.
