Souvenir SCAR-20 | Trail Blazer (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

In Battle-Scarred this monochrome finish turns into a rough, scratched dark grey with patches of bare metal. Because the design has no bright colours to lose, the rifle still looks coherent, just heavily used. It is the cheapest entry to the skin and fits a deliberately weathered style.

Item type: sniper rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. 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 receiver and the long railed handguard are covered in a dark black coat with a subtle speckled texture and thin silver inlays that pick out the rail slots and edges. The barrel and muzzle brake stay black with a slightly metallic sheen, while the scope keeps the same dark tone with a pale lens.

Large areas of the handguard, muzzle and magazine are scratched down to bare grey metal. The stock, grip and receiver edges are heavily rubbed, and the silver inlays are partly lost in the scratches. In game the rifle reads as a patchy dark grey rather than black. Only the recessed parts of the receiver and the scope keep traces of the original dark coat.

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

The black and silver scheme works well with silver, holo or foil stickers that echo the inlays. Monochrome or white designs keep the rifle restrained, while a single gold or red sticker on the receiver gives one clear accent.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the top of a grade show more scuffs on the muzzle and rail.
• Inspect the handguard edges, magazine base and stock corners, as these lose the black coat first.
• Look at applied stickers and the name tag, because they change the look of such a plain dark finish noticeably.
• Compare the StatTrak™ or Souvenir version if you want a counter or tournament stickers on this rifle.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players looking for the cheapest entry to Trail Blazer.
• Fans of heavily weathered rifles who like bare metal showing through.
• The pick for a deliberately rough look at minimal cost.
