MAC-10 | Button Masher (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred Button Masher keeps the layout of the controller, the cross pad, vent slots and side buttons, but much of the cream paint is gone. The weapon reads darker and rougher, with the artwork showing in patches. It is the cheapest way to get the controller theme on the MAC-10.

Item type: smg. 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.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver is painted cream white as a clear polymer shell, with dark horizontal vent slots on the top and red tinted areas around the rear. The back of the receiver carries a cross-shaped pad, while the side has a row of small labelled buttons.

Large areas of cream paint are missing from the top, sides and rear of the receiver. Buttons and the cross pad are worn down to patches, and the magazine text is partly lost. The weapon looks darker overall, with the artwork broken up. Only the general shapes of the controller remain clear in game.

Stickers and crafts

Red, black and white stickers match the controller colours and the red tints on the receiver. Small gaming or retro themed stickers placed along the side of the receiver near the buttons fit the game pad idea without covering the cross pad.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float within the wear range, because the light paint shows every step of wear.
• Inspect the top edges of the receiver and the area around the cross pad, as these lose paint first.
• Check that the side button labels and the magazine label are still readable on worn copies.
• Look at applied stickers and name tag, since they change how the clean cream body looks.
