P250 | Mehndi (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred Mehndi turns the bright slide into a patchy mix of orange paint and bare grey steel. The paisley motif survives in fragments, mostly in the recessed areas and on the frame. It is the most weathered and the most affordable way to carry the design.

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

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 painted bright orange and covered end to end with fine cream-white swirls, dots and paisley curls, including the front face around the muzzle. The frame and dust cover are dark greyish brown with a larger copper-toned paisley ornament drawn in thin lines.

The slide is heavily stripped, with bare steel covering much of the top, edges and muzzle face. The swirl pattern remains only in fragments, and the trigger shows mostly metal. The frame and grip are scuffed at the edges but keep traces of the copper ornament. In game the pistol reads as rough orange over grey metal.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the top of the slide in the inspect view, since that is the brightest and most visible part in first person.
• Review applied stickers and any name tag to make sure they fit the orange and brown scheme.
• For StatTrak™ copies, confirm the counter suits your taste on this busy ornament.
