Souvenir Desert Eagle | Oxide Blaze (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Because the float range of Oxide Blaze stops early, Battle-Scarred copies sit close to Well-Worn and are not as stripped as on many other skins. The brown body and pale slide patches stay recognisable, with heavier chipping on the edges and muzzle. This is the cheapest way to get the finish while keeping its overall look.

Item type: pistol. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The slide is painted in a rust-brown base with large cream and white patches across its top and upper sides, broken by black scuff marks towards the muzzle. The Magnum Research engraving on the side of the slide stays visible through the paint.

Wear is heaviest on the slide edges, muzzle end and trigger guard, with more chipping on the frame and grip edges. Because the range ends early, the damage stays close to Well-Worn rather than stripping the paint. In game the skin reads as a heavily used version of the same design. The middle of the slide sides keeps the colour scheme visible.

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

Stickers in brown, cream, black or muted orange match the rust base and pale slide patches. Placing them on the brown frame area keeps the white detailing on the slide visible. Matte or worn-looking stickers fit the distressed theme better than bright holographic ones.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the cleaner end of each grade show less chipping on the slide edges.
• Look at the slide edges, muzzle and trigger guard, which lose paint first.
• Remember that the scuffs near the muzzle are part of the artwork and not a sign of extra wear.
• Check stickers and name tag, as they change the look and do not always match the brown and cream palette.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players looking for the cheapest entry into this finish.
• Buyers who know this grade stays close to Well-Worn on this skin.
• Conclusion: the budget pick that still looks like Oxide Blaze.
