SCAR-20 | Wild Berry (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the roughest take on Wild Berry: large areas of the light finish are worn through, and the halftone pattern survives mainly on flat surfaces. The contrast between dark exposed metal and the remaining blue and purple paint gives it a gritty, heavily used character.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-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.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver and handguard are painted in a pale icy blue with darker teal tones and a halftone dot pattern that is most visible on the lower receiver and the stock. Purple and magenta bands run along the top rail, the handguard and the front of the receiver, and the grip carries a purple tint.

Large parts of the rail, magazine, scope and stock are worn down to dark metal. The pattern remains mostly on the flat central surfaces of the receiver and handguard. In game the rifle looks dark and battered, with only patches of pale blue and purple left.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a worn grade keeps noticeably more paint.
• Look at the top rail, magazine edges and scope rings, as these lose paint first.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so make sure you like them before buying.
• Check for existing stickers or a name tag and whether they fit your plans.
