Souvenir R8 Revolver | Tango (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Tango in Battle-Scarred turns the rose pattern into a heavily weathered version, with the dark finish broken up by wide areas of worn metal. The roses remain as faded red spots rather than crisp flowers. It is the most affordable way to get the design and suits players who like a rough, aged look.

Item type: pistol. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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

Other 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 frame, cylinder and barrel are finished in dark, almost black blued steel with a cool blue sheen. Red roses with green leaves and thin climbing vines are painted across the barrel shroud, the side of the frame and the cylinder.

Most raised parts and edges are down to bare metal, and wide worn patches cover the barrel and cylinder. The roses survive only as faded, broken red marks. In game the pattern reads mostly as dark metal with patches of red. The grip and brass parts are worn as well, though the carving is still recognisable.

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

Red, gold and dark green stickers match the roses, vines and brass accents. Placements on the frame side work best, as they leave the roses on the barrel visible. Vintage or floral-styled stickers fit the theme of the finish.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within its wear range, since lower values keep more of the roses on the barrel.
• Check the muzzle, top rail and cylinder edges, as they lose the dark finish first.
• Make sure the roses on the frame and cylinder are intact on the inspect screen.
• Note any stickers or name tag and whether they suit the floral theme.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players looking for the cheapest entry into the Tango design.
• Fans of heavily weathered finishes with a rough character.
• Budget entry for those who do not mind faded roses.
