Souvenir P90 | Virus (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

P90 | Virus is a hydrographic skin built around a lime-green, cell-like pattern on a dark base. In Battle-Scarred large parts of the print are rubbed off the grip and body edges, and the green survives mostly on the flat side panels. The float range stops short of the most damaged values, so even the roughest copies keep a good share of the pattern.

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.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The lower shell of the P90 is covered in a lime-green hydrographic print over a darker grey-green base. This includes the thumbhole grip loop, the area around the trigger and the stock.

Large areas of the print are worn away on the grip loop, the front of the body and the stock, and the base coat dominates these parts. The remaining green sits mostly on the flat side panels in broken patches. In game the skin reads as a dark, rough P90 with green traces. Because the range is capped below the worst floats, the pattern never disappears completely.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.8

The whole float range of Souvenir P90 | Virus 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.

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

Green, black and toxic-themed stickers continue the infected look of the print, and holo or foil stickers in green tones add shine without clashing. Placing them on the dark upper body keeps them readable against the busy pattern below.

What to look at before you buy

• Factory New covers only a very narrow slice of this skin's float range, so compare copies across the grades before paying extra.
• Look at the edges of the grip loop and the rear corners of the stock, as these show wear first.
• Check how much bright green falls on the visible side panels, since the hydrographic placement differs between copies.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, as they change the look of the dark top area.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players looking for the cheapest way into this skin.
• Fans of a rough, battle-damaged style where green survives only in patches.
• The entry option for those who care about the theme more than the condition.
