MAC-10 | Red Filigree (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Red Filigree pairs a maroon receiver with fine red scrollwork and plain grey grip and magazine. Because the float range of this skin stops early, the Battle-Scarred grade sits close to Well-Worn: the pattern is rubbed through on edges and raised parts, yet the red ornament remains visible over most of the body. It is the most affordable way to get the design without it looking ruined.

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.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The finish covers the receiver and upper body of the MAC-10, from the barrel shroud to the rear, with a dark maroon base and a dense red filigree of flowers, scrolls and curls. The barrel tip stays dark grey, while the grip, magazine, trigger guard and rear stock rail are left in plain grey metal.

Edges, corners and raised parts of the receiver are worn through more widely than in Well-Worn, though the difference is moderate because the float range ends early. The filigree is patchy along the top, but the side panels still carry much of the red ornament. In game the gun reads as a dark, weathered red. The grey lower half shows scratches but keeps its plain look.

Which stickers suit it

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float shows noticeably cleaner edges on the receiver.
• Inspect the top edge and front corners of the receiver, where the filigree breaks first.
• Souvenir copies come with fixed stickers, so decide whether those stickers suit the dark red finish.
• Look at any applied stickers or name tag, as they add to the look but not always to the value.
