Five-SeveN | Fowl Play (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred Fowl Play keeps the teal base colour, but the slide carries heavy scratching that cuts through the feather shapes. The grey frame changes little, so the contrast between upper and lower parts becomes softer. It suits players who like a rough look or want the skin at its most accessible grade.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The slide is painted in a glossy teal patina, with dark charcoal and light grey feather shapes running along its top and sides. The frame, accessory rail, trigger guard and grip are left in matte dark grey, with lighter grey controls standing out on the side.

Heavy scratching covers most of the slide, cutting through the feather pattern on the top and sides. The muzzle end and serrations are the most worn areas. In game the slide reads as a weathered teal surface with only fragments of the motif. The grey frame and grip change least and keep the pistol looking coherent.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–1

The whole float range of Five-SeveN | Fowl Play is 0–1; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–1 segment (55% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in teal, white, black or grey tones blend with the feather slide without breaking the colour scheme. Placing them on the grey frame below the slide keeps the feather pattern unobstructed, while a single accent in a warm colour can add contrast.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float keeps the slide edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle end, top edge and rear serrations of the slide, as these lose the finish first.
• Look at the feather placement on the slide in the inspect view to make sure the pattern sits the way you like.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, as they change the look of the plain grey frame.
