Souvenir Five-SeveN | Buddy (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Buddy combines a tan camo slide, a slate frame and yellow trim into a CT-themed pistol finish. Battle-Scarred is the most worn grade, but the float range of this skin stops short of the heaviest values, so copies keep more of the artwork than many skins in this condition. The scratched slide suits the field-worn camo idea.

Item type: pistol. 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.

The remaining 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 covered in a brushed tan, brown and ochre camo that wraps over the top and around the cutouts, with a white circular badge carrying the number near the rear sight. The frame and trigger guard are painted in a slate-blue camo with darker patches, accented by thin yellow pinstripes that follow the contours of the frame and the accessory rail.

The slide shows heavy wear with much bare metal on the front, top and edges. The yellow pinstripes survive only in fragments, and the badge and emblems are partly rubbed off. Because the float range is capped, the frame camo and grip panel keep a recognisable look. In game the skin reads as a battered camo pistol rather than a clean artwork.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.55

The whole float range of Souvenir Five-SeveN | Buddy is 0–0.55; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.55 segment (18% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The CS20 Collection with 17 skins in total.

It drops from CS20 Case.

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

Gold, yellow and tan stickers continue the trim and slide colours, while muted blue or grey ones blend into the frame. Military and CT-themed designs suit the service-style markings, and a single sticker on the frame keeps the pinstripe layout readable.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the grade, since the slide edges and muzzle show wear first.
• Look at the yellow pinstripes on the rail and grip, as they reveal wear earlier than the camo.
• Make sure the number badge and emblems are intact if you want a clean look.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, because they change how the slide and frame read.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget players who want the skin at the most accessible grade.
• Those who like a battered camo look that still keeps the frame recognisable.
• Conclusion: the entry point for the design with character.
