Dual Berettas | Black Limba (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred Black Limba pushes the aged theme to its end: the slides turn patchy and silvery, with much of the dark tone rubbed away. The grips stay recognisable as wood, though scratches and faded areas cover their surfaces. It is the most affordable way to get this design, and the heavy wear does not clash with the vintage idea of the finish.

Item type: pistol. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

Both slides and frames are finished in a grey gunmetal tone with darker patina and lighter mottled spots, giving the steel an aged, handled look. The barrels and trigger guards stay in the same metallic grey, with the serrations and small details picked out by the light.

Battle-Scarred leaves the slides largely silvery and blotchy, with only traces of the darker patina in recessed areas. The wooden grips are covered with scratches and faded spots, though their brown colour still sets them apart from the metal. Edges, muzzles and slide tops show the heaviest wear. In game the pair looks rough, which fits the vintage idea of the finish.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.8

The whole float range of Dual Berettas | Black Limba is 0.06–0.8; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.8 segment (47% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

It drops from Operation Bravo Case (on sale since Sep 20, 2013).

What it costs in each quality

Among 9 skins of the Dual Berettas in the Mil-Spec Grade grade and this quality, this skin is the dearest.

StatTrak™ and Souvenir

There is also a the StatTrak™ version: the counter on the weapon tracks kills. Right now it is 1.6× dearer than the regular one. There is also a the Souvenir version with tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

Muted stickers in brown, gold, black or dark grey match the steel and wood palette best. Small paper or gold stickers placed on the slides keep the classic look intact, while bright colours tend to break the restrained style.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float within the wear range, since a low-float Field-Tested copy can look close to Minimal Wear on this finish.
• Check the slide tops and muzzle edges in the inspect view, as they lose the dark tone first.
• Look at the outer edges of the wooden grips, because faded grain there is the clearest sign of heavier wear.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, and decide whether StatTrak™ or a Souvenir version matters to you.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget entry for anyone who simply wants this pair in the loadout.
