AUG | Surveillance (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The rifle keeps its dark teal map base even in its most worn grade, because the float range of this skin stops early. Battle-Scarred brings heavier metal showing through on edges and grips. The overall colour and pattern remain clearly identifiable in game.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

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

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The receiver and stock are painted in a dark teal-green with a map pattern of faint contour lines in orange and gold, plus small HUD-style markings. The foregrip and pistol grip area carry brighter iridescent blotches that shift between blue, green and gold.

The foregrip and grip area are heavily worn, with large light spots and scratches. Wear spreads along the edges of the receiver and the bottom of the stock. Because the skin's range ends early, the damage is moderate compared with fully scarred finishes. The map on the main body remains readable at normal distance.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.6

The whole float range of AUG | Surveillance is 0–0.6; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.6 segment (25% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested can look close to Minimal Wear.
• Look at the foregrip and trigger guard first, as these parts lose paint before the rest of the rifle.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so judge whether they fit the dark teal finish.
• Inspect existing stickers and the name tag to make sure they match what you want.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred
