Souvenir MAC-10 | Tornado (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

At Battle-Scarred the solid colours of Tornado are broken up by heavy chipping, especially on the receiver and magazine edges. The tan and blue-grey split is still visible, but the paint looks scraped and patchy, with metal showing through in many places. This is the most affordable way to carry the skin and the most rugged-looking one.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver, including the top with its raised ribs and the side panels, is painted a flat sandy tan. The trigger guard, grip, magazine, folding wire stock and sling are a uniform blue-grey, and the short barrel tip is a darker grey.

Heavy chipping covers the receiver, especially the top ribs and corners, and much of the magazine and grip edges are stripped to metal. The muzzle and stock show strong wear as well. In game the paint looks patchy, though the tan and blue-grey zones can still be told apart. Only the more sheltered flat areas keep larger patches of colour.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.8

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

The plain tan receiver works as a calm background for stickers in blue, grey or white that echo the lower parts. Warm sand, brown or muted orange stickers blend in for a tone-on-tone look, while placing them along the receiver side keeps the two-colour split readable.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since chipping on the tan receiver is the most visible sign of wear.
• Inspect the receiver corners, ribs and muzzle, as these lose paint first.
• Pattern does not matter for this solid colour finish, so compare copies by float and condition only.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so check whether you like them before buying.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget entry for anyone who wants a skin on the MAC-10.
• Fans of heavily worn, rugged finishes.
• The cheapest and roughest way to own Tornado.
