Souvenir R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Banana Cannon is still recognisable in its roughest grade thanks to the yellow grip and the blue labels. In Battle-Scarred large patches of paint are gone, the labels look faded and the metal shows along the barrel and frame. It is the most weathered and cheapest way to carry the banana theme.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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 barrel shroud and the grip are painted bright banana yellow with scattered brown speckles and darker bruise-like patches, imitating an overripe peel. The cylinder and frame stay dark gunmetal with a brownish, aged tint, while the top rail is dark and the underbarrel rail is plain grey.

Large areas of yellow are worn away on the barrel and the grip, and the labels are heavily faded. The cylinder and frame look darker and rougher. In game the revolver reads as a dull, patchy yellow. Only parts of the barrel sides and the lower grip keep solid paint.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–1

The whole float range of Souvenir R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon is 0–1; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–1 segment (55% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon belongs to The Revolution Collection, which holds 17 skins.

It drops from Revolution 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

Blue and yellow stickers repeat the label colours and look natural on this skin. Food or fruit themed stickers on the barrel extend the joke, while dark or brown ones blend with the speckles.

What to check before buying

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since the paint on the muzzle and barrel edges changes noticeably inside one grade.
• Do not confuse the printed brown speckles with real wear; compare the inspect view with a clean copy.
• Check the blue labels and the barcode, as their faded edges show the real condition quickly.
• Check applied stickers and a name tag, because they cover parts of the yellow artwork.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players after the cheapest entry to the skin.
• Owners who mostly care about the joke.
• Conclusion: the most worn and most accessible version.
