Souvenir R8 Revolver | Leafhopper (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

This is the R8 Revolver in deep green with copper details and a pale mint grip, a finish known for its lightly case-hardened tint. In Battle-Scarred the anodized layer is broken up across the frame and barrel, and the copper parts lose much of their shine. Because the float range stops well short of the maximum, even this grade keeps a readable green base and remains the cheapest way to own the skin.

Item type: pistol. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Anodized: the colour is in the metal coating itself, so wear shows mostly as dulling rather than a rubbed-off pattern.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The barrel, frame and cylinder are coated in a deep, glossy green with faint darker and bluish patches from the case-hardened treatment, most visible on the cylinder. The top rail, the under-barrel rail, the trigger and small trim pieces are anodized in a copper-orange that contrasts with the green.

The anodized coat is broken across the barrel, cylinder and frame, with bare metal patches on all raised areas and edges. The copper rails and trigger lose most of their shine. In game the weapon reads as heavily worn but still recognisably green. Recessed areas and the middle of the frame sides keep the most colour.

What it costs in each quality

Among 4 skins of the R8 Revolver in the Industrial Grade grade and this quality, this skin ranks 3rd by price, counting from the dearest.

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

Gold, copper and holo stickers in green or orange tones echo the rail accents and sit well on the green frame. Placements along the barrel side or on the frame above the grip keep the copper rail visible. Bright red or purple stickers tend to clash with the calm two-tone scheme.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a grade shows noticeably less damage on the edges.
• Inspect the muzzle, the top rail edges and the cylinder, as these wear first on this finish.
• Check whether the copper trigger and rails still have clean edges, because they carry much of the skin's contrast.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied, and whether the copy is a Souvenir with fixed stickers.
