R8 Revolver | Canal Spray (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Canal Spray in Battle-Scarred turns into a dark, heavily rubbed revolver with teal paint surviving in broken patches. The spray-paint style suits this state, as the finish looks like a quick paint job that has worn through over time. It is the most weathered version of the skin, not a ruined one.

Item type: pistol. 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.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The frame and barrel shroud are coated in a dusty teal with short diagonal blue spray strokes, while the dark base metal shows along the top rail, the ejector rod housing and the edges of the frame. The muzzle and the chamber ends of the cylinder stay bare silver, which gives the front of the revolver a light accent against the cool paint.

Large areas of the frame, barrel shroud and cylinder are worn down to dark metal, with teal left in broken patches. The grip is scuffed along its ridges and bottom. In game the revolver reads as dark steel with a blue-green tint. Some paint usually survives on the frame sides and the middle of the grip.
