Souvenir AK-47 | Crossfade (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the most worn grade of AK-47 | Crossfade, yet the skin's float range stops well short of the heaviest possible damage. The gradient remains present on the large panels, broken up by chipped edges and scraped raised parts. It is the most affordable way to carry this pink-and-violet rifle with a rough, used character.

Item type: rifle. 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.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The handguard carries the warmest part of the gradient, a salmon-to-copper pink with dark curved streaks running along it. The receiver is darker, crossed by pale and teal diagonal strokes that give it a motion-blur feel, while the stock fades into violet with a halftone dot pattern near the butt.

Edges across the whole rifle are chipped, and the handguard, magazine and receiver top show the most bare metal. The stock has scraped corners and a patchier halftone area. Because this skin's range ends early, the damage stays moderate compared with fully worn finishes elsewhere. In game the colour gradient is still recognisable on the large panels.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.5

The float of Souvenir AK-47 | Crossfade ranges from 0 to 0.5; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–0.5 — 10% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

Souvenir AK-47 | Crossfade belongs to The Graphic Design Collection, which holds 16 skins. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

Price by quality

Among 5 skins of the AK-47 in the Mil-Spec Grade grade and this quality, this skin is 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

Holo and foil stickers in pink, purple or teal echo the gradient and suit the darker receiver area. Pastel or white designs placed along the receiver keep the soft look, while a single dark sticker near the magazine well adds contrast without fighting the fade.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a grade keeps the handguard and magazine edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the handguard tips, receiver top and magazine ribs, as these lose paint first on this finish.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so make sure their placement fits the pink-and-violet artwork.
• Look at any name tag or added stickers to see whether they match your plans for the rifle.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players looking for the lowest-cost entry into AK-47 | Crossfade.
• Those who enjoy a rough, used rifle that still shows its colours.
• Good value, since this skin's worst grade stays relatively mild.
