Souvenir MAG-7 | Sand Dune (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

MAG-7 | Sand Dune is the basic sand-painted MAG-7, and in Battle-Scarred it becomes a heavily chipped, dusty piece. The paint survives mostly in flat recessed areas, while edges and protruding parts show bare metal and grime. Because the skin's range stops short of the dirtiest floats, even the worst copies keep a recognisable sand tone.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Counter-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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver, side panels and grip are sprayed in a pale, matte sand colour with no pattern or markings. The barrel shroud and muzzle carry a slightly greyer beige tone, and the magazine base shows a lighter, faded shade of the same palette.

Most edges and raised parts are bare metal, and the shroud, muzzle and magazine are heavily chipped. Dirt and scratches cover the receiver and grip. In game the gun looks worn and dusty, though the sand colour remains readable because the range does not reach the dirtiest floats. Only recessed surfaces keep a fairly solid coat.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.8

The whole float range of Souvenir MAG-7 | Sand Dune is 0.06–0.8; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.8 segment (47% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What it costs in each quality

Among 7 skins of the MAG-7 in the Consumer Grade grade and this quality, this skin ranks 4th by price, counting from the dearest.

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

The plain sand base works as a neutral canvas for brown, olive, black or muted gold stickers that keep a desert-equipment feel. A single bright red or blue sticker on the receiver side stands out strongly against the beige if you want contrast.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a solid colour shows every chip on the edges clearly.
• Inspect the muzzle, shroud vents and magazine corners, as these lose paint first.
• Souvenir copies come with printed stickers, so look at them if you want a plain gun or a specific look.
• Pattern does not matter for this finish, so focus on condition, stickers and name tag.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Entry-level buyers who want any skin on the MAG-7 at minimal cost.
• Fans of heavily worn, battle-used weapons.
• The cheapest way into the skin, with a sand tone that stays readable.
