MP5-SD | Picnic (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

In Battle-Scarred the red finish is broken up by large patches of bare metal, especially along the long suppressor. The X pattern survives only in fragments, giving the skin a weathered, rusty-looking red. It is the cheapest way to put a red MP5-SD in your hands.

Item type: smg. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

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.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The suppressor, ribbed handguard, receiver, pistol grip and stock end are all painted red, with a pale pinkish rim at the muzzle. Over the receiver, grip and suppressor runs a mottled pattern of offset X's in lighter and darker reds, which gives the surface a fabric-like check.

Large areas of bare metal cover the suppressor, the handguard and the receiver edges. The grip and stock show heavy wear, and the X pattern remains only in fragments. In game the red looks patchy and weathered. The black magazine looks the same as on cleaner copies.

• Inspect the muzzle rim and handguard ribs, as these are the first places where the red wears through.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so check whether they fit the red finish.
• Check for a name tag if you want the original item name.
