Dual Berettas | Tread (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Tread on the Dual Berettas combines a gold finish with a hand-etched wave motif, dark frames and ribbed grips. In Battle-Scarred much of the gold is gone, and the slides take on a patchy mix of gold traces and exposed metal. It suits players who like a rough, heavily used look and the cheapest way into this design.

Item type: pistol. 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 slides of both pistols are painted gold and covered with a fine etched wave pattern that fills the flat panels and gives them a woven, textured look. The frames, trigger guards and barrels stay in dark gunmetal grey, framing the gold sections.

Most of the gold is worn away, leaving scattered traces in the recesses of the etching. The frames and grips are heavily scratched, with the ribs showing exposed metal along their tops. In game the pistols look rough and dark, with only hints of the original gold remaining.

StatTrak™ and Souvenir

There is also a the StatTrak™ version: the counter on the weapon tracks kills. Right now it is 2.3× dearer than the regular one. There is also a the Souvenir version with tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Gold, bronze and holo stickers in warm tones match the etched slides, while black or dark grey stickers blend into the frames for a restrained look. Placing stickers on the dark frames rather than over the gold panels keeps the etching visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since gold loss on the slides grows noticeably toward the dirtier end.
• Inspect the slide edges, muzzle ends and rear serrations, as these are the first areas where the gold thins.
• Look at the raised ribs of the grips, which show bare metal on more worn copies.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, since they change the look of the dark frames and gold slides.
