Souvenir AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred Orbit Mk01 is the most weathered version, with the paint broken up on the magazine, receiver edges and stock. The skin's float range ends early, so even this grade keeps a readable red and black design rather than turning fully grey. It is the cheapest way to carry this artwork while keeping its overall look intact.

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.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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 is painted deep red with a dark graphite dust cover and black panels with small technical markings along its side. The handguard and gas tube combine black and grey sections with red accents, while the barrel and front sight stay dark.

The magazine shows heavy wear, with the segments partly broken up, and the receiver edges, dust cover and handguard have large worn areas. The stock edges and corners are chipped through to the base. Because the float range stops early, the damage is not as extreme as on skins that go to the maximum. From normal distance the rifle reads as a rough red and black AK.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.55

The float of Souvenir AK-47 | Orbit Mk01 ranges from 0 to 0.55; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–0.55 — 18% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

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.

Which stickers suit it

Red, black, silver and holo stickers in a red tone fit the scheme best and keep the technical look intact. Placing them on the dark dust cover or the black receiver panels gives good contrast without hiding the red. Bright greens or blues will clash with the palette unless a deliberate contrast is the goal.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since the magazine segments show the difference first.
• Look at the magazine ribs and the edges of the dust cover, as these are the first parts to lose paint.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, since they change how the red receiver reads.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir version, as both exist for this skin.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget buyers who want this artwork at the lowest entry point.
• Players who prefer a rough look and accept heavy wear on the magazine.
• The cheapest way to own the design while keeping its red and black identity.
