Souvenir AUG | Torque (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

AUG | Torque has a capped float range, so its Battle-Scarred copies stop short of the heaviest damage seen on many other skins. The white panels are patchy and the yellow trim is fragmented, yet the dark body keeps the rifle coherent. It suits a buyer who wants the design at the most worn grade available.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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 and the rear of the stock are covered with off-white panels laid over a dark graphite base, with a rough, brushed texture along their borders. The barrel, scope and foregrip stay black, which keeps the front of the rifle plain and puts the focus on the body.

The white areas are patchy across the whole body, with the dark base showing through in many spots. The yellow trim survives only in fragments. Thanks to the capped float range the damage stops short of the heaviest stage, so the layout of the panels can still be followed. In game it reads as a dark, worn AUG with light patches.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.5

The float of Souvenir AUG | Torque 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.

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

Yellow, black and white stickers follow the existing palette and sit well on the receiver above the trigger guard. Holo or foil stickers with technical or robotic motifs support the theme of the finish. Bright colours outside the palette tend to compete with the yellow trim.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end keep more of the white panels.
• Look at the stock edges and the yellow trim, as these are the first places to show wear.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, because they change both the look and the value of a particular copy.
• Note that the Battle-Scarred grade on this skin is lighter than on many others due to its capped float range.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget players who want the lowest entry into this skin.
• Collectors of capped-range skins whose Battle-Scarred grade stays relatively mild.
• Conclusion: the cheapest way to own the design, with wear that stops short of heavy damage.
