The finish style is case hardening.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The slide, barrel shroud and frame are coated in case-hardened steel: deep blue and violet patches mixed with bronze, copper and pale gold spots. The colours shift unevenly along the slide, around the ejection port and across the trigger guard, so no two areas look the same.

Most edges, the muzzle, the rail and the hammer area are worn to silver-grey metal. The tempered colours survive as faded blue and bronze traces in the middle of the slide and frame. In game the gun reads mostly as worn steel. The grip panels keep their matte grey look throughout.

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

Gold and holo stickers echo the bronze spots of the tempering, while blue or chrome designs blend into the steel. Placements along the slide work best because the grip panels are plain grey.

What to check before buying

• Check the pattern, because the amount of blue versus gold on the slide differs from copy to copy.
• Look at the float within the wear range, since the muzzle and slide edges lose colour first.
• View the playside of the slide, as that is the part you see most in game.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so check whether they suit the colours.
