Souvenir AWP | Chromatic Aberration (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the most affordable way to own this AWP with its magenta receiver and glitch-marked body. The paint is heavily worn on the receiver edges, the barrel and the scope. Its float range ends before the very worst values, however, so a central patch of pink still stands out.

Item type: sniper rifle. 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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver is the focal point, painted bright magenta with purple tiger-like stripes printed slightly out of register. The long barrel and the scope are dark charcoal, dotted with small pink, cyan and white fragments that look like digital glitches, and a cyan ring accents the muzzle.

Heavy wear covers the receiver edges, the barrel and the scope, and much of the glitch detail there is gone. The stock shows rubbed corners and faded squares. Because the float range stops before the most damaged values, the core of the pink receiver remains visible. In game the rifle looks clearly used but is still 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.

Which stickers suit it

Holo or foil stickers in pink, purple or cyan match the glitch palette, especially when placed on the dark section of the barrel where they echo the scattered fragments. Black and white stickers suit players who prefer to keep the receiver as the only bright accent.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within its wear grade, since lower values keep the receiver edges and the muzzle cleaner.
• Inspect the receiver edges and the scope rims first, as they lose paint before the rest of the rifle.
• Look at applied stickers and their positions, because bright stickers can clash with the magenta receiver.
• Decide whether you need StatTrak™ or a Souvenir copy, and check any name tag before buying.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players looking for the cheapest entry to this skin.
• Owners who use the rifle purely for play and ignore the scratches.
• The budget option that still keeps a pink centre visible.
