P250 | Lotus Imprint (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Lotus Imprint is a gold-and-blue ornamental finish for the P250 with a lotus emblem on the frame. In Battle-Scarred much of the blue flake and fine gold lines are rubbed through on the slide, muzzle and grip, giving the pistol an aged, antique look. It is the cheapest way to own the design.

Item type: pistol. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The slide is covered in light blue metal flake broken up by gold filigree swirls, with pearl-white zones between the scrolls and a gold cartouche near the ejection port. The muzzle, slide edges and rear sights are finished in gold, while the frame and trigger guard are pale grey-white with a gold trigger.

Large areas of the slide, muzzle and grip are rubbed down to grey metal, and many gold scrolls are broken or faded. The magazine base and trigger guard edges are heavily worn. In game the pistol reads as a weathered blue-and-gold piece rather than a bright one. Fragments of the ornament and the lotus remain visible on the protected areas.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since the slide edges and muzzle change most between low and high floats.
• Look at the front of the slide and the muzzle face first, as paint leaves these parts before anywhere else.
• Inspect the grip contours and magazine base, where scuffs break up the gold ornament.
• Make sure any applied stickers or name tag match the blue and gold palette you want.
