Negev | CaliCamo (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Negev | CaliCamo is a desert camouflage of sand and brown tones with orange-red details on top of the gun and on the magazine. In Battle-Scarred the edges and raised parts are chipped down to metal, yet the range of this skin stops before the heaviest damage, so the camo remains readable. It is the most rugged-looking version of the pattern.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver and the top cover are covered in a mottled camo of pale sand, tan, mid-brown and dark brown blotches, with the rear sight area and carry details picked out in rusty orange-red. The barrel and the muzzle stay dark steel, which frames the light camo from the front.

All edges and raised parts are chipped, and bare metal spreads over the top cover, grip and magazine corners. The orange-red accents are broken up by worn patches. Because the float range of this skin ends early, the camo still covers the larger flat surfaces. In game the gun looks rough but recognisably desert-coloured.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested can look close to Minimal Wear on this busy camo.
• Look at the muzzle end, the top cover edges and the magazine corners, because these lose paint first.
• Note whether the listing is a Souvenir copy, as those come with stickers already applied.
• Check any applied stickers and name tag, since they change the look of the light camo.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players who like heavily used guns and rough textures.
• Budget buyers, since the camo stays readable even in this grade.
• The most rugged take on the pattern.
