Souvenir SCAR-20 | Storm (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

SCAR-20 | Storm pairs mint green and blue-grey paint on separate parts of the rifle in a simple, cool-toned scheme. In Battle-Scarred large areas of paint are gone from the edges and raised parts, leaving patches of bare dark metal across the receiver, handguard and stock. It is the cheapest way to own the skin and suits players who like a rough, heavily used look.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The upper receiver, top rail and long handguard are painted a pale mint green, while the front of the handguard, trigger guard and pistol grip are slate blue-grey. The magazine is a muted sage green, the scope tube is blue-grey on a green mount, and the barrel and muzzle device stay dark.

Battle-Scarred has heavy paint loss across the receiver, handguard, scope and stock, with large patches of bare dark metal. Edges and raised details are almost fully stripped, and the magazine and grip are visibly scraped. In game the rifle reads as a rough mix of dark metal and faded colour blocks. The original scheme is still recognisable on the remaining flat areas.

What to check before buying

• Factory New covers only a narrow part of this skin's float range, so compare it with low-float Minimal Wear before paying extra.
• On Field-Tested and below, look at the top rail, handguard edges and scope rims, since these chip first and stand out in first-person view.
• Check whether the listing is a regular or a Souvenir copy, as Souvenir versions come with stickers already applied.
• Look at any stickers or name tag on the listing, because on a plain solid-colour finish they change the overall look noticeably.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget players who want any skin on their SCAR-20 for the lowest cost.
• Fans of a rough look where bare metal shows through faded colour.
• Conclusion: the cheapest entry, suited to those who prefer a heavily worn style.
