Souvenir PP-Bizon | Bamboo Print (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred turns the light bamboo artwork into a heavily chipped finish where grey metal shows through across large parts of the receiver and magazine. Only fragments of the cream base and the bamboo leaves stay intact. It is the most affordable way to have the pattern, with a deliberately rough look.

Item type: smg. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

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: Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver, handguard and front sight block are covered in a pale cream base with dark grey-olive bamboo stalks and leaves applied in loose brush strokes. The large drum magazine carries the same pattern along its length, with a small red round stamp near its front end that adds a single accent of colour.

Large areas of grey metal show through on the receiver, handguard and magazine. The cream base and bamboo strokes survive only in fragments, mostly on less exposed surfaces. In game the gun reads as a worn grey weapon with pale patches. The grip and stock look unchanged because they are not painted.

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

Black, grey and red stickers echo the ink-painted bamboo and the red stamp on the magazine. Paper-style or minimal designs placed along the receiver keep the calm look, while bright multicoloured stickers tend to clash with the cream base.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float position within the wear range, since the light base makes the difference between low and high floats easy to see.
• Check the front rim of the drum magazine and the muzzle area, which lose paint first.
• Look at the inspect view to see whether the red stamp on the magazine is still intact.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, as they change how the light finish reads.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players looking for the cheapest entry to this skin.
• Fans of heavily worn, rough-looking weapons.
• A budget pick where the bamboo theme is only hinted at.
