Souvenir AUG | Colony (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Colony pairs a sand-khaki body with grey and dark metal parts, and in Battle-Scarred that contrast turns patchy. Large areas of paint are worn off the edges and raised surfaces, leaving a mottled mix of khaki and bare base. For players who like a heavily used look, it is the most weathered version of the finish.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The bullpup stock, the trigger guard area and the housing around the magazine well are painted a flat pale khaki with a slight sand tint. The vertical foregrip and the ribbed magazine are a light grey, while the barrel, muzzle device, top rail and scope stay dark grey to black.

Large parts of the khaki coat are gone, especially on the stock, the butt and around the magazine well. The remaining paint forms uneven islands on the flatter panels. In game the body looks mottled and darker than in the cleaner grades. The grey grip and dark upper assembly show the wear less, so the silhouette stays recognisable.

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

The pale khaki body works well as a neutral base for stickers in olive, brown, black or muted gold. Placements on the flat side of the stock read best, while brighter colours stand out strongly against the sand tone.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the wear grade, since a solid colour finish shows chips on the stock edges clearly.
• Inspect the butt, trigger guard and magazine well rim, as these lose paint first.
• Check whether the copy is a Souvenir, because Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied.
• Note any stickers or name tag, as they change the look of such a plain finish noticeably.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players who like a heavily weathered, mottled finish.
• Collectors who want every grade of the skin.
• The most worn and usually cheapest way to own Colony.
