Souvenir MAC-10 | Curse (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred Curse is the most worn grade, yet the float range of this skin stops early, so copies here never reach the heaviest damage seen on other weapons. Edges, the barrel end and the magazine show bare patches, while the overall mummy theme survives. It gives the cheapest way into the design.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the 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 custom paint job covers the boxy MAC-10 with a graphic image of a mummy, while the visible base tone on the render is a muted grey-olive. The receiver carries ribbed lines along its side, the short barrel and the wire stock stay dark, and the long magazine continues the same grey tone.

Bare patches cover the edges, the barrel end, the stock and much of the magazine. The side panels show broken areas in the artwork. Because the float range ends early, the damage stays milder than on skins that reach full wear. The overall theme is still readable in game.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.5

The whole float range of Souvenir MAC-10 | Curse is 0–0.5; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.5 segment (10% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir MAC-10 | Curse belongs to The Huntsman Collection, which holds 20 skins. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

Note: It was removed because one of its creators was also involved with the M4A4 Howl art theft. This is no longer obtainable from the Huntsman Weapon Case, but remains part of The Huntsman Collection and still works with trade-up contracts.

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

Muted, dark or olive-toned stickers sit well against the grey-olive base and the mummy theme. Placements on the flat side of the receiver keep the artwork balanced, while bright colours tend to clash with the restrained scheme.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since low-float copies of a grade look noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the receiver edges, barrel end and magazine base, which lose paint first.
• Look at applied stickers and the name tag, as they change how the artwork reads.
• Compare StatTrak™ and Souvenir copies separately, as they are distinct versions of the item.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players seeking the cheapest entry into the design.
• Buyers who know the early float cap keeps damage moderate.
• The most affordable way to own the skin.
