Five-SeveN | Forest Night (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Forest Night pairs a steel-blue base with darker camo blotches and cream-coloured controls. In Battle-Scarred much of the slide turns patchy and dark, and the camo merges with the exposed metal into a rough, weathered surface. The frame and grip still keep the blue tone that identifies the skin.

Item type: pistol. 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.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The slide and frame are covered in a muted steel-blue base with irregular darker grey-blue blotches, applied as a hydrographic so the camo wraps over the shapes of the parts. The grip is a lighter, slightly mottled pale blue, which makes the lower half look brighter than the slide.

Most of the slide is patchy, with wide dark areas where the paint has worn through and the camo is hard to tell apart from the metal. The frame front, grip edges and magazine base are heavily rubbed. The middle of the frame and grip still hold the blue tone. In game the finish reads as a rough, weathered blue-grey.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.8

The whole float range of Five-SeveN | Forest Night is 0.06–0.8; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.8 segment (47% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the top edges of the slide and the muzzle, since they lose paint first and show the real state of the copy.
• Check where the float sits within the grade, because a low float in Field-Tested or Well-Worn looks noticeably cleaner on the slide.
• On Souvenir copies, check the applied stickers and their wear, as they change the look of the slide.
• The camo pattern placement varies little, so judge the copy by wear rather than by pattern.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players who prefer a rough, weathered finish over a clean one.
• Buyers looking for the lowest-cost way to get this skin in the inventory.
