Souvenir MAC-10 | Ultraviolet (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

In Battle-Scarred Ultraviolet turns into a heavily chipped two-tone gun, with metal showing through both the purple parts and the dark receiver. The purple still stands out against the darker body, so the identity of the skin is not lost. It suits buyers who like a beaten-up look or want the scheme at the lowest entry point.

Item type: smg. 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.

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

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The receiver is painted a flat dark grey close to black, with its ridges and side details kept in the same tone. Purple covers the barrel tip and muzzle, the grip, the trigger guard, the sling mount and the folded wire stock, so the accents frame the dark box from front to back.

Heavy chipping covers the receiver, grip, magazine and all purple accents, with bare metal showing across many surfaces. The muzzle, stock wire and trigger guard are the most stripped parts. In game the purple remains visible as a patchy accent against the dark body. The range of this skin stops short of the most extreme wear, so even the worst copies keep some colour everywhere.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.8

The float of Souvenir MAC-10 | Ultraviolet ranges from 0.06 to 0.8; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–0.8 — 47% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The eSports 2014 Summer Collection with 17 skins in total.

It drops from eSports 2014 Summer Case (on sale since Jul 9, 2014).

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

Purple, violet and holo stickers with cool tones blend well with the accents, while black and silver ones sit quietly on the dark receiver. A single bright sticker placed on the flat side of the receiver contrasts well against the plain grey surface.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a solid colour finish shows every chip and a low float in Field-Tested or Well-Worn looks much cleaner.
• Look at the muzzle, stock wire and trigger guard in the inspect view, as these purple parts lose paint first.
• Pattern does not matter for this skin, so judge copies by float, stickers and name tag only.
• Make sure any applied stickers fit the dark-and-purple scheme, because they stand out strongly on the plain receiver.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players who enjoy a heavily chipped, battle-worn appearance.
• Budget entry for anyone who simply wants the purple accents in game.
• Conclusion: the lowest-cost version, with the colour scheme still recognisable.
