P90 | Desert Halftone (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred turns P90 | Desert Halftone into a heavily chipped desert gun where bare metal takes a large share of the body. The brown streaks survive mostly on the flat sides, so the camouflage still shows through the damage.

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

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The whole polymer body of the P90, from the rounded nose to the stock, is painted in a sand tan base with irregular brown streaks running along its length. Up close the paint is built from a fine halftone dot pattern, which gives the camouflage a grainy, printed texture.

Bare metal dominates the nose, the top line and the edges of every opening, and chipping reaches onto the sides. The halftone grain survives only in scattered patches. In game the P90 reads as a battered grey-and-tan gun, with the clearest paint left on the rear of the body.

• Look at the front of the body and the thumbhole rims, as these are the first places the paint chips.
• Check for applied stickers and a name tag, which can add to the price or not suit your taste.
• The streak placement varies between copies, so compare screenshots if you want more brown on the visible side.
