MAC-10 | Ultraviolet (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

In Battle-Scarred Ultraviolet turns into a heavily chipped two-tone gun, with metal showing through both the purple parts and the dark receiver. The purple still stands out against the darker body, so the identity of the skin is not lost. It suits buyers who like a beaten-up look or want the scheme at the lowest entry point.

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.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver is painted a flat dark grey close to black, with its ridges and side details kept in the same tone. Purple covers the barrel tip and muzzle, the grip, the trigger guard, the sling mount and the folded wire stock, so the accents frame the dark box from front to back.

Heavy chipping covers the receiver, grip, magazine and all purple accents, with bare metal showing across many surfaces. The muzzle, stock wire and trigger guard are the most stripped parts. In game the purple remains visible as a patchy accent against the dark body. The range of this skin stops short of the most extreme wear, so even the worst copies keep some colour everywhere.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.8

The whole float range of MAC-10 | Ultraviolet is 0.06–0.8; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.8 segment (47% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a solid colour finish shows every chip and a low float in Field-Tested or Well-Worn looks much cleaner.
• Look at the muzzle, stock wire and trigger guard in the inspect view, as these purple parts lose paint first.
• Pattern does not matter for this skin, so judge copies by float, stickers and name tag only.
• Make sure any applied stickers fit the dark-and-purple scheme, because they stand out strongly on the plain receiver.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players who enjoy a heavily chipped, battle-worn appearance.
• Budget entry for anyone who simply wants the purple accents in game.
• Conclusion: the lowest-cost version, with the colour scheme still recognisable.
