Souvenir Sawed-Off | Clay Ambush (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Sawed-Off | Clay Ambush puts a tan tiger pattern over a dark brown base, finished with a copper-coloured pump and stock. Because the float range of this skin ends early, Battle-Scarred copies sit at the lighter end of heavy wear: the edges and the pump are worn through, but parts of the motif remain on the receiver sides. It is the cheapest way to get the skin and still keeps its brown character.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. 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.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The receiver and barrel are painted dark brown and covered with tan tiger figures and swirling shapes, with the largest figures visible on the receiver sides. The pump forend is a smooth copper-brown with a ribbed grip surface, and the stock carries a reddish-brown tone that darkens towards the butt.

The muzzle, the pump and the edges of the receiver and stock are worn through to metal. Scratches spread onto the receiver sides, leaving the tiger figures fragmented. Since the range of this skin stops early, the wear is heavy but not total, and the brown tone still dominates in game. Parts of the motif remain readable in the middle of the receiver.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.6

The whole float range of Souvenir Sawed-Off | Clay Ambush is 0–0.6; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.6 segment (25% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir Sawed-Off | Clay Ambush belongs to The Havoc Collection, which holds 19 skins. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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 gold, bronze, beige or muted orange match the tan tigers and the copper pump. Placing them on the receiver side away from the largest tiger figures keeps the motif visible, while dark or black stickers sit quietly against the brown base.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float within the chosen wear, since the muzzle and pump show the difference first.
• Check the receiver sides, where the largest tiger figures sit and where wear is most visible to you.
• For Souvenir copies, check which stickers are applied and how they sit on the receiver.
• Check whether a name tag is attached if you want the original name.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget buyers who want the skin at the lowest entry.
• Players who accept heavy wear since the brown tone still holds.
• Conclusion: the cheapest way to own Clay Ambush.
