P250 | Apep's Curse (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred turns the ornate bronze pistol into a heavily weathered relic. The copper trim and the edges are worn down to bare metal in many places, while the darker engraved areas and the grip carving hold up longer. It is the cheapest way to own the design, with a rough, excavated look.

Item type: pistol. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The slide is finished in dark brown bronze with fine engraved ornament along its side, and the rear section carries a panel of thin red and green vertical stripes. Pale copper accents mark the slide stop, the trigger, the muzzle edge and the front of the frame.

Heavy wear covers the slide, the frame edges and the grip, with large patches of bare metal. The copper accents are mostly gone and the red-green stripes are fragmented. In game the skin reads as a rough, aged bronze pistol. Only the deeper engraving and the grip carving keep part of their detail.
