Souvenir Sawed-Off | Black Sand (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The Sawed-Off | Black Sand pattern is a tan and black military camo on a dark shotgun. In Battle-Scarred the camo on the pump and receiver is broken into fragments over bare metal, leaving only traces of the original stripes. It is the roughest version of the skin, with a heavily used look.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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 pump forend and the receiver are covered with wide tan, orange-brown and olive camo bands separated by black, painted in loose brush-like shapes. The receiver side also carries small dark rectangular plates and a gear-shaped emblem within the camo.

Most of the camo on the forend and receiver is worn down to metal, with only patches of tan and olive left. The emblem and receiver plates are heavily eroded. In game the weapon reads as dark and battered, and only the stock keeps a fairly even look.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.9

The whole float range of Souvenir Sawed-Off | Black Sand is 0–0.9; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.9 segment (50% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Danger Zone Collection with 17 skins in total.

The source is Danger Zone 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.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in tan, brown, orange, olive or black blend naturally with the camo. Placing them on the receiver side next to the emblem keeps the military look intact. Bright neon colours tend to clash with the muted palette.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float within the wear range, since a low float keeps the forend edges and muzzle ring much cleaner.
• Look closely at the front of the pump and the receiver edges, as these lose paint first.
• Note whether the copy has stickers or a name tag and whether they suit the tan camo.
• Decide if you need the StatTrak™ version, which exists for this skin.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget entry for players who just want the skin on their Sawed-Off.
• Collectors of heavily battered finishes.
• The cheapest way into this camo, with a rough look.
