P250 | Copper Oxide (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred Copper Oxide keeps its two-colour identity, though large areas of paint are gone from the edges and contact points. The float range of this skin ends before the most extreme values, so even the roughest copies remain recognisable as copper over blue. It is the most rugged way to own this finish.

Item type: pistol. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

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

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The slide is painted a solid rose gold with a copper, slightly reddish tone, including the muzzle face and the rear serrations. The frame, trigger guard and grip are a pale blue, close to mint, with the textured grip panel in the same colour.

Large patches of paint are missing from the muzzle, slide edges, frame front, trigger guard and magazine base. The light frame looks heavily scuffed, and the copper slide shows broad dark areas along its edges. Because the float range stops short of the extreme end, the core colours on flat panels survive. In game it reads as a rough, weathered copper-and-blue pistol.

Stickers and crafts

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since chips on the light frame become noticeable quickly as wear grows.
• Look at the muzzle, slide edges and front of the frame, as these lose paint first.
• There is no pattern on this finish, so copies of the same wear differ only by float, stickers and name tag.
• On Souvenir copies, check the condition and placement of the applied stickers.
