Souvenir MAC-10 | Propaganda (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred Propaganda is the most heavily worn version of the finish, with metal showing through on the receiver edges, the magazine and the grip. Because the float range of this skin stops short of the most extreme values, the large red fields and the eyes still remain visible. It is the cheapest way into the design and has a rough, torn-poster character.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

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.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver is painted in a warm cream tone crossed by red diagonal stripes, with a yellow sun disc on a red field near the front and a grey photographic pair of eyes towards the rear. Cyrillic words are printed along the body, including контроль on the receiver, with more lettering running down towards the grip.

Bare metal shows on the receiver edges, the front of the body, the grip and the bottom of the magazine, and the cream base is heavily scuffed. Much of the small lettering is lost. Since the skin's float range does not reach the highest values, the main red stripes and the eyes stay readable in game. The overall look is that of a torn, weathered poster.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.62

The whole float range of Souvenir MAC-10 | Propaganda is 0–0.62; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.62 segment (27% 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 2021 Train Collection with 17 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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

Red, black and gold stickers fit the poster palette and keep the agitprop feel. Placing them on the cream part of the receiver away from the eyes keeps the main motif visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float looks noticeably cleaner on the cream areas.
• Look at the eyes and the lettering in the inspect view, because these details lose clarity first as wear grows.
• Inspect the top edges of the receiver and the bottom of the magazine, where the paint goes first.
• On Souvenir copies, check whether the applied stickers suit the red-and-cream artwork.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget buyers who want the cheapest entry into Propaganda.
• Players who enjoy a rough, torn look on their SMG.
• Conclusion: the most affordable version that still keeps the eyes readable.
