Five-SeveN | Retrobution (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the most worn take on Retrobution, with heavy chipping across the slide front, rail, edges and grip. The retro palette survives mainly in the middle of the slide and on the grip panels, giving a rough, distressed version of the design.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The base of the finish is a warm cream colour, crossed by parallel stripes of yellow, orange, red, mint and brown that run the length of the slide and frame. The top of the slide is dark charcoal with small orange chevron arrows, and the rear serrations carry a red and orange striped block.

Large patches of paint are missing from the muzzle, rail, slide front and trigger guard, and the grip edges are scraped. The stripes break up into fragments in the worn zones. In game the pistol looks distressed, with colour remaining mainly in the centre of the slide and on the grip.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–1

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the paint loss on the slide front changes noticeably inside one grade.
• Inspect the muzzle, rail and trigger guard first, as these parts lose paint before the rest of the pistol.
• Look at the cream grip panel for scuffs, because marks are easy to see on the light base.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, especially on Souvenir copies where stickers come preset.
