Souvenir MAG-7 | Monster Call (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

This is the MAG-7 with the deep-sea monster artwork: a blue base, a toothy purple creature on the front grip and a green fish on the receiver. In Battle-Scarred the paint is heavily eroded on the edges, barrel and grip, so the scene looks weathered and patchy. It is the cheapest way to carry the design, and the dark palette keeps it from looking completely washed out.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Counter-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 base of the whole weapon is a dark navy blue scattered with small light specks that look like plankton or bubbles. The front grip is painted as a purple sea monster with a green eye and a wide open jaw lined with white teeth that curls around the grip.

Heavy wear covers the barrel, the front grip and the magazine, with large worn areas breaking up the monster's jaw. The receiver edges are scraped, and the green fish loses part of its outline and detail. In game the skin reads as a dark, weathered blue with fragments of the creatures showing through. Only the middle of the receiver keeps a clear piece of the scene.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–1

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

Stickers in green, teal, purple or orange echo the creatures and glows of the artwork, while holo and foil stickers suit the deep-sea theme. Placing them on the receiver near the green fish keeps the monster's jaw on the front grip uncovered.

What to look at before you buy

• Inspect the front grip first, because the monster's jaw and teeth sit on the parts that wear earliest.
• Check where the float sits within the grade, as low and high floats in the middle grades look noticeably different.
• Look at the muzzle and the bottom of the magazine for scuffs that stand out against the dark base.
• Check stickers and a name tag on the copy, since they change the look and may not suit your plans.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players looking for the cheapest entry to this design.
• Fans of a battered, sunken look on their weapon.
• A budget pick for those who accept heavy wear.
