Souvenir AUG | Bengal Tiger (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred Bengal Tiger keeps the orange-cream-black scheme only in fragments, with large areas of the body showing the dark material underneath. The rifle still reads as striped and orange in game, but the clean contrast of fresher grades is gone. It is the cheapest way to get the skin's colours on the AUG.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

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

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 stock and lower body are painted in a cream base with black tiger stripes, shading into bright orange on the upper rear of the stock and on the forward part of the body. The vertical foregrip is orange with cream accents, and the muzzle has a small orange touch.

Large areas of the lower body, trigger guard, foregrip and stock edges show dark material instead of cream paint. The orange on the magazine base and grip is mostly gone. Fragments of stripes and orange remain on the upper stock and the side of the body. At distance the colours are still recognisable, but up close the finish looks heavily damaged.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.8

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

Orange, black, white and gold stickers match the tiger scheme and blend into the striped stock. Placements on the dark receiver and top rail stand out cleanly against the grey, while stickers on the cream body work best in muted or matching tones.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since the light base shows chips more readily than darker finishes.
• Check the trigger guard, foregrip edges and magazine base on the inspect screen, as these parts lose paint first.
• The tiger stripe hydrographic shifts between copies, so compare how the stripes fall on the stock if the look matters to you.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, as they change how the copy looks and may not suit everyone.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players looking for the cheapest entry into this skin.
• Fans of heavily worn finishes who like the exposed dark material.
• Conclusion: the budget grade that keeps the colours recognisable at distance.
