Sawed-Off | First Class (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Because the float range of this skin stops well short of the usual maximum, its Battle-Scarred grade is milder than on many other finishes. Edges and the muzzle show bare metal and the emblem is mostly faded, yet the green leather wrap still defines the silhouette. It is the most affordable way to get the First Class colour scheme.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. 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.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The barrel, magazine tube and receiver are finished in dark gunmetal close to black, with a soft sheen along the top of the barrel. The pump fore-end and the pistol grip are wrapped in matte green leather with a fine texture, matching the in-game description of the leather-wrapped stock.

The muzzle, barrel top and receiver edges show bare metal in several places. The winged emblem is mostly worn away. The leather wrap carries the heaviest scuffing, but its green colour is still clearly present. Thanks to the capped float range, the damage stays moderate compared with a typical Battle-Scarred skin.
