Souvenir Sawed-Off | Kiss♥Love (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Kiss♥Love is a portrait skin, so heavy wear changes it more than it would a plain finish. In Battle-Scarred the face on the receiver is broken up by scratches and bare metal shows through on the edges, leaving mostly the pink and purple palette as the recognisable part.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

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

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The main artwork sits on the receiver: an anime-style girl with pink hair and large blue-green eyes, set against a busy pink and cyan background with small graphic symbols on the side. The ribbed pump forend and the stock are painted a deep purple, and the long barrel and magazine tube are a darker, almost black violet.

The portrait is heavily scratched, and parts of the face and background can be broken up by bare metal. The forend ribs, the stock and the muzzle show large worn areas. Copies at the cleaner end of this grade keep more of the face, while the most worn ones lose much of it. In game the gun reads as a scuffed purple Sawed-Off with traces of the pink artwork.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–1

The whole float range of Souvenir Sawed-Off | Kiss♥Love 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

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

It drops from Recoil 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

Pink, purple, light blue and holographic stickers match the artwork's palette. Placing them on the barrel or stock keeps the portrait on the receiver visible.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear, since on this portrait skin it decides how much of the face survives.
• Look at the receiver artwork in the inspect view, especially the eyes and the hair, because scratches there change the look most.
• Check the forend ribs, the muzzle and the corners of the stock, which wear first.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they cover the portrait.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• The cheapest entry into owning Kiss♥Love.
• Players who like a scuffed, heavily used look.
• Suits those who care about the palette more than the portrait.
