SCAR-20 | Palm (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred Palm is the most rugged version of this desert finish, with large worn areas on the receiver, rail and magazine. The leaf camouflage survives mainly on flatter, recessed surfaces, giving the rifle a sun-bleached, used look. This grade covers a wide part of the float range, so individual copies can differ noticeably.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

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 receiver, handguard rail, magazine, grip and folding stock are painted in a pale sand colour with olive-tan and brown palm-leaf silhouettes and a fine mesh texture sprayed on top. The scope body carries the same camouflage, while the barrel, muzzle brake, screws, trigger and small fittings stay black.

Large areas of the receiver, rail, magazine and scope are worn down to grey metal. The camouflage holds mostly on recessed and flat surfaces, and copies at the cleaner end of this grade keep noticeably more of it. In game the rifle has a patchy, weathered look. The black barrel and fittings look the same as in cleaner grades.

• Look at the rail teeth, magazine corners and scope rings, as these lose paint first.
• Souvenir versions exist and come with their own stickers, so check which version you are buying.
• On regular copies check any applied stickers and name tag, since they change the overall look.
