R8 Revolver | Junk Yard (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred turns R8 Revolver | Junk Yard into a heavily scraped revolver, with large areas of the blue and red paint worn down to metal. Parts of the silver handwriting fade or break up, while the wooden grip keeps the shape of the look together. It is the roughest take on the skin and fits the name most literally.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The frame and barrel are painted dark blue with a steel tint and covered in silver handwriting: LEGEND runs along the barrel shroud, with a crown, the word king and tally marks drawn near the cylinder. The cylinder, front sight and the area around the muzzle are painted red with a slightly coppery tone.

Large areas of the cylinder, barrel and rail are worn down to metal, and the red accents are reduced to fragments. The silver lettering is broken up and partly gone. In game the revolver reads as a heavily scraped piece with traces of blue and red. Only the deeper areas of the frame keep solid colour.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the red cylinder and front sight for bare metal, as they set the colour accent of the skin.
