Souvenir G3SG1 | New Roots (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the most worn grade of New Roots, yet the finish's float ceiling keeps the vine pattern visible across most of the body. Chips and scratches gather on the muzzle end, handguard edges, scope and stock, giving the rifle a rough, overgrown-ruin feel. It is the cheapest way to get the full pattern in your inventory.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The vine and flower pattern runs over the receiver, handguard, magazine, grip and stock, and continues onto the scope tube and rear sight. The base is a warm khaki and tan, overlaid with olive stems, bright green outlines and small reddish-brown accents inside the flower shapes.

Wear spreads further across the handguard, scope, magazine and stock, with scratches crossing the vines. Because the finish does not reach the very top of the float scale, the pattern does not disappear completely. In game the rifle reads as dark and scuffed but still recognisably green and tan. The middle of the receiver remains the cleanest painted area.

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, olive and brown stickers blend with the tan and green base, while a single bright green or holo sticker can echo the outlines. Flat surfaces of the receiver and magazine give the cleanest placement, since the dense pattern swallows small or dark stickers.

What to look at before you buy

• Compare the float within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested or Well-Worn keeps noticeably cleaner edges.
• Inspect the scope rings, handguard edges and magazine corners first, as these parts lose paint before the rest of the rifle.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so check whether their look matches what you want.
• Check any applied stickers and name tag, because they change how the busy pattern reads.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players looking for the cheapest entry into New Roots.
• Fans of a rough, abandoned-in-the-jungle look.
• The budget option that still keeps the pattern visible.
