MP9 | Orange Peel (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Orange Peel is a spray-painted camouflage of orange and dark patches, and in Battle-Scarred it turns into a heavily weathered version of itself. Large areas of paint are gone from the edges and raised parts, leaving the orange as broken fragments over dark metal. For a rough, field-worn look this grade fits the stencil style well.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The receiver, top rail and front section are covered in irregular orange patches separated by dark grey and tan areas, with thin dark streaks where the masking tape stencil lay. The vertical foregrip and the pistol grip carry the same blotchy pattern across their ribs, and the magazine is painted in matching orange and tan.

Large areas of paint are gone from all edges, ribs and raised parts, and the magazine and stock show a lot of bare metal. The orange remains as scattered fragments, mostly on the flat receiver sides. At normal distance the weapon looks dark with orange flecks rather than evenly patched. Little of the original crisp pattern is left clean.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show fewer chips on the muzzle and rail.
• The factory-new range for this skin is very narrow, so compare it with low-float Minimal Wear copies that look nearly the same.
• Look at the grip ribs and magazine base on inspect, as these parts lose paint first.
• Souvenir copies exist and come with pre-applied stickers, so check whether you want them on the weapon.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players who like a heavily weathered weapon look.
