Souvenir P90 | Death Grip (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred Death Grip turns the pale hand print into a weathered, patchy coat over grey metal. Most edges, the barrel and the grip loop are heavily stripped, while fragments of hands survive on the flat sides of the body. For buyers who like a battered look, the damage fits the dark name of the finish.

Item type: smg. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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 hydrographic print of overlapping hands covers almost the whole P90: the barrel shroud, the main body, the thumbhole grip loop and the rounded stock. The hands are drawn in off-white and light grey with thin dark outlines, and the blue base shows through in the gaps between fingers and palms.

The barrel, the grip loop, the front of the body and the stock are heavily stripped down to grey metal. The print survives only as fragments of hands on the flat sides, with the blue reduced to faint traces. The dark top receiver changes least, since it carries little of the print. In game the P90 reads as weathered grey with scattered pale patches.

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 blue, white, grey or black blend with the cold palette of the hands. A single dark or holo sticker on the flat side of the body stands out well against the pale print, while bright warm colours give deliberate contrast. Keeping stickers off the grip loop leaves the most recognisable part of the pattern visible.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since lower values keep the muzzle and grip loop cleaner.
• Inspect the inner rim of the grip loop and the muzzle, the first places the pale print rubs off.
• The hand pattern is spread fairly evenly, so condition matters more than placement, but look at the side panel on inspect to be sure you like it.
• Look at applied stickers and a name tag, since they stay with the item and change its look.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Fans of heavily battered skins who like stripped metal under a fading print.
• Budget entry for players who mostly care about the name and motif.
• A pick for the weathered look rather than for the clean artwork.
