Souvenir AK-47 | Fire Serpent (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The design centres on a green serpent wrapped around the AK-47 receiver, with a fanged head, gold details and a dark swirling magazine. In Battle-Scarred large areas of paint are gone and bare metal shows through, yet the green serpent remains the dominant shape. It is the most affordable way to own the finish, with a rough, used character.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

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. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The receiver carries the main artwork: a green serpent body with yellow and gold bands coiling along its length, ending in a fanged head with a red eye at the front near the handguard. Gold ornamental shapes sit towards the rear of the receiver, set against dark grey metal.

Large patches of paint are missing on the receiver and magazine, and much of the magazine pattern is reduced to fragments. The serpent's head and body keep their shape mostly through remaining green areas. At normal distance the rifle reads as heavily worn, with a lot of grey metal. The wood handguard and stock remain the most intact-looking parts.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.76

The whole float range of Souvenir AK-47 | Fire Serpent is 0.06–0.76; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.76 segment (44% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

It drops from Operation Bravo Case (on sale since Sep 20, 2013).

What it costs in each quality

Among 13 skins of the AK-47 in the Covert 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

Gold, green and red stickers match the serpent's palette and the red eye. Placements along the receiver above the serpent body keep the head near the handguard visible, while dark or holo stickers sit well against the grey metal sections.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the grade, since the serpent's outline and magazine change noticeably between low and high floats.
• Inspect the serpent's head near the handguard, as it is the focal point of the design.
• Check the front and bottom of the magazine, which lose paint first.
• Note any stickers, name tag and whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget buyers who want this skin in their inventory.
• Players who like a heavily used, rugged look.
• The most affordable way to own the Fire Serpent.
