Souvenir AK-47 | Breakthrough (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred AK-47 | Breakthrough loses large parts of its white slashes, and bare patches show through on the receiver, magazine and stock. Because the design is grayscale, the damage blends into the dark base instead of clashing with it. This is the most affordable way to carry the pattern, with a heavily weathered look.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The rifle is covered in a dark, near-black carbon fiber base with white and light gray diagonal slashes and zigzags running across the handguard, receiver and stock. The strokes are densest on the receiver and the stock, where they form bold angular shapes, and they also extend over the pistol grip.

Large portions of the white slashes are gone, and bare patches show on the receiver, magazine, handguard and stock. The remaining strokes are broken and uneven, leaving mostly a dark base with fragments of the pattern. In game the rifle looks heavily weathered but stays monochrome rather than blotchy. Still recognisable are the angular shapes on the stock and the dark overall tone.

Price by quality

Among 7 skins of the AK-47 in the Restricted grade and this quality, this skin ranks 6th by price, counting from the dearest.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Black, white, silver and holo stickers match the grayscale artwork without breaking its contrast. A single bright accent such as red or gold stands out well against the dark base. Placements on the receiver above the magazine sit on the busiest part of the pattern, so simple designs work best there.

What to look at before you buy

• Compare the float position within the grade, since lower values keep more of the light strokes on the edges.
• Look at the magazine edges and the stock outline, as these show wear first on this finish.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, and if you consider a Souvenir copy, make sure you like its pre-applied stickers.
