Galil AR | Phoenix Blacklight (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest way into this purple graffiti Galil AR, and the finish shows it with heavy paint loss. Fragments of pink and violet tags remain between patches of dark metal, giving a weathered, abandoned look. For players who simply want the colour scheme in hand, it still delivers.

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

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 receiver, handguard and gas tube are covered in tightly packed graffiti letters in pink, magenta and lilac with dark blue outlines. The pistol grip and magazine carry the same pattern, with large pink tags standing out on the grip, while the barrel and muzzle device stay mostly black with only part of the paint reaching onto them.

Large areas of paint are gone from the handguard, the magazine, the muzzle end and the edges of the stock, leaving dark metal between the tags. The receiver and buttstock hold broken fragments of the graffiti with faded colour. In game the rifle looks patchy, with purple and pink spots over grey. Only the most sheltered flat surfaces keep the pattern reasonably intact.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since this spray paint chips on edges fairly early.
• Inspect the magazine, the handguard and the muzzle area, as these parts lose paint first.
• Compare the graffiti placement in the inspect view, because the layout of the tags shifts between copies.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so make sure they suit the purple palette.
