Souvenir P250 | Contaminant (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the roughest version of Contaminant, with heavy paint loss on the slide, muzzle end and grip edges. The skin's float range stops short of the very worst values, so part of the maroon cell pattern still remains visible. For a skin built around rot, this grade looks less like damage and more like the intended result.

Item type: pistol. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The whole P250 is coated in maroon paint covered with an irregular network of dark, almost black cells, each outlined by thin brighter red veins. The pattern runs continuously over the slide, including the rear serrations, and continues down the frame, trigger guard and grip, where the cells become larger and rounder.

The slide, muzzle area, trigger guard and grip edges show heavy wear with wide areas of bare metal. The red veins are faint in many places and the maroon base looks uneven. Because the range ends before the most extreme values, parts of the cell pattern survive on the sides of the slide and frame. In game it reads as a heavily corroded pistol, which matches the theme of the skin.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.7

The whole float range of Souvenir P250 | Contaminant is 0–0.7; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.7 segment (36% 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 Operation Broken Fang Collection with 17 skins in total.

The source is Operation Broken Fang Case.

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

Stickers in dark red, black or muted metallic tones match the maroon base and dark cells without breaking the decayed look. A single sticker on the flat side of the slide keeps the pattern readable. Bright green or toxic-themed stickers can underline the contamination idea as a deliberate contrast.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies at the clean end of a grade keep visibly more paint on the slide edges.
• Inspect the front of the slide and the muzzle, as these areas lose paint first.
• Look at the lower edges of the grip and the trigger guard on worn copies to see how much of the pattern remains.
• Check applied stickers and a name tag, as they change the look of the slide.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players who want the most corroded look the skin allows.
• Budget entry for anyone who wants the skin in the inventory.
• Conclusion: the most fitting grade for a skin about decay.
