MAC-10 | Arabesque Mosaic (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Arabesque Mosaic covers the MAC-10 in pale ivory with sandy tiles and gold ornament, inspired by Middle Eastern scenery. In Battle-Scarred large areas of the light paint are worn through, so dark metal shows across the edges and much of the body, and the fine lattice loses detail. It reads as a heavily weathered desert piece rather than a clean ornamental one.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver is covered with a grid of square tiles in cream and beige, each holding faint sandy scenery, with a round gold emblem near the rear. The barrel, muzzle, trigger guard and folded stock are painted plain ivory, keeping the silhouette light and clean.

Large areas of paint are gone from the receiver, the muzzle, the magazine and the stock, leaving a mix of ivory remnants and dark metal. The grip lattice and tile grid are broken up and lose fine detail. In game the gun looks heavily weathered, with only the sheltered parts keeping a clear cream colour.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since scuffs on a light finish become visible sooner than on dark skins.
• Look at the muzzle, the top edge of the receiver and the magazine base, which wear through first.
• Compare inspect screenshots, as the spray-paint pattern sits differently on each copy and changes how the tiles and scenery fall on the receiver.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as bold colours can clash with the calm ivory palette.
