M4A1-S | Decimator (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The Decimator's dark palette hides damage better than bright finishes, so even the most worn copies still read as a navy rifle with pink touches. In Battle-Scarred the highlights are broken across the suppressor, magazine and stock, and the edges are rubbed down to dark metal. It is the entry point for those who want the colour scheme at the lowest grade.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The receiver and carry handle are finished in a very dark navy with a metallic blue sheen that catches light along the contours. The ribbed handguard carries the brightest blue, while the barrel stays dark.

Most of the pink highlights on the suppressor, magazine and stock are worn away, leaving only fragments. All edges and raised parts, including the handguard ribs and carry handle, are rubbed down to the dark base. The blue sheen survives mainly on the central receiver panels. Thanks to the dark palette the rifle still looks coherent rather than ruined.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.85

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within its wear range, since lower values keep more of the pink on the suppressor tip.
• Inspect the magazine edges and carry handle, as these show wear first on this finish.
• Look at any applied stickers or name tag and decide whether they fit the blue and pink scheme.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir if that matters to you.
