Souvenir AWP | CMYK (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred gives the AWP | CMYK a heavily worn, grimy look. The white base turns greyish, and large parts of the print are rubbed through to bare metal. What remains of the colours reads as faded stains on a dirty light body.

Item type: sniper rifle. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

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

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The stock and receiver are painted in an off-white base with a magenta stripe along the top of the stock and a cyan swirl near the grip. The lower stock carries yellow-green halftone dots, and a black letter K sits near the rear, closing the four print colours.

Large areas of the stock and receiver are worn to bare metal, and the remaining white looks grey and dirty. The halftone dots and the magenta stripe survive only in fragments, and the barrel gradient is faded. In first person the skin reads as a grimy light rifle with scattered colour stains. Only sheltered parts keep noticeable colour.

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

Stickers in cyan, magenta, yellow or black follow the print-colour idea of the skin. Holographic and colourful stickers sit well on the light part of the stock and receiver, while plain white stickers tend to blend into the base.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since the white base makes the difference between low and high floats easy to see.
• Inspect the stock edges, the receiver top, the scope rings and the muzzle, as these lose paint first.
• Check that the halftone dots and the magenta stripe on the stock are intact on worn copies.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so check whether they suit the artwork.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players who want the lowest entry into this skin.

• Conclusion: suits those who value the name and a rough look over a clean design.
