MAC-10 | Pipsqueak (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

In Battle-Scarred the graffiti survives as patches of blue and white over large areas of exposed metal. The rat panel near the rear sight and the cyan arrows can still be traced, though their edges are eaten away. This is the roughest look of the skin, closer to a scraped wall than a fresh mural.

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.

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 receiver is painted in white and pale blue with large cyan arrows, angular shapes and black outlines, while the rear of the top carries a darker panel with the rat portrait next to the rear sight. The barrel shroud and muzzle are mostly cyan, and small blue dots continue onto the back of the gun near the wire stock, which stays plain grey metal.

Large parts of the receiver, muzzle and magazine are bare metal, with the graffiti left as scattered blue and white patches. The rat panel is heavily worn and only partly visible. In game the gun reads as grey with blue fragments rather than a white mural. The least affected areas are usually the recessed parts of the grip and the sides of the magazine.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.9

The whole float range of MAC-10 | Pipsqueak is 0–0.9; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.9 segment (50% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in cyan, white, black or light blue blend with the graffiti, while a single dark or holographic sticker gives contrast on the white parts of the receiver. Keep the area around the rat panel free so the main detail stays visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the rat panel near the rear sight, since it is the key detail of the skin and loses quality on worn copies.
• Check the muzzle, the top edges of the receiver and the base of the magazine, where chips show first against the white base.
• Compare the float position within the wear range, because a low float in Field-Tested looks noticeably cleaner than a high one.
• Review applied stickers and the name tag to make sure they fit the light blue graffiti.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• The cheapest entry into the skin for players who mainly want a change from the default MAC-10.
• Fans of heavily scraped, grey-and-blue finishes.
• A budget pick, not one for showing off the artwork.
