PP-Bizon | Photic Zone (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

In Battle-Scarred, Photic Zone turns into a rough, faded version of its ocean palette, with bare metal showing through on the most exposed parts. The teal tone and traces of lime are still there, so the skin stays recognisable while costing the least among the grades.

Item type: smg. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The receiver and handguard are covered in a dark teal camouflage with lighter blue-grey blotches and a thin darker strip along the top, plus a small round emblem on the side. The long drum magazine under the barrel is teal with a fine lined texture and a printed label, and both of its end caps are painted fluorescent lime.

Paint is heavily lost on the drum magazine, its caps, the muzzle, the receiver top and the stock frame, with bare metal in many places. Only traces of the lime colour remain, and the camo becomes a faded teal haze. The grip and parts of the receiver sides still carry recognisable colour, which keeps the skin identifiable in game.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the lime end caps of the drum magazine, as they show wear first and affect the look most.
• Check the float position within the grade, since a low float keeps the lime accents noticeably brighter.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir, because both variants exist for this skin.
• Review applied stickers and the name tag, which change how the teal and lime scheme reads.
