FAMAS | Byproduct (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

FAMAS | Byproduct is a gold-on-olive burst finish whose float range stops earlier than usual, so even the most worn grade is not fully stripped. Battle-Scarred copies show heavy chipping on edges and raised parts while the main panels keep much of the pattern. It is the most weathered take on the finish.

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.

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

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The carry handle, upper receiver, rear of the stock and the magazine are painted dark olive with dense gold-yellow streaks that radiate like a burst. The lower body, pistol grip and trigger guard stay in plain grey-beige polymer, framing the painted parts.

Heavy chipping covers the carry handle, magazine and stock corners, with wide grey patches. Because the float range ends early, the main panels still hold much of the olive and gold. In game the finish reads as worn but recognisable. Only the centre of flat surfaces looks relatively clean.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.55

The whole float range of FAMAS | Byproduct is 0–0.55; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.55 segment (18% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the top of a grade show more chipping on the carry handle.
• Look at the magazine and stock corners, as these parts lose paint first.
• The burst pattern is uniform, so pattern placement matters little for this skin.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as they change how the item reads.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget players who want the cheapest entry into this skin.
• Buyers who like heavy wear but still want the pattern visible.
• Conclusion: the roughest version, still recognisable thanks to the shortened float range.
