Souvenir SG 553 | Triarch (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

In Battle-Scarred the Triarch design turns rough: patches of bare metal break the sand camo, and the edges of the handguard, magazine and stock are heavily worn. The tan body and dark rails still give the rifle its desert silhouette, but the fine orange details are mostly lost on raised parts. This is the most rugged and cheapest way to own the skin.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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 receiver and stock are covered in a sand-coloured desert camo with soft lighter and darker tan patches. The handguard is dark charcoal with full-length rails and small light markings, and the barrel and scope stay dark with orange accents.

Large patches of bare metal break the camo on the receiver and stock. The magazine, muzzle and handguard edges are heavily stripped, and the orange lines are mostly gone from raised parts. The tan base and dark handguard still define the overall silhouette. In game the rifle reads as rough and battered.

Gold, orange, black and sand-toned stickers match the tan camo and orange trim. Placements on the dark handguard stand out well, while warm-toned stickers on the receiver blend with the camo.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the orange lines and handguard edges change noticeably between low and high values.
• Look at the muzzle, magazine corners and stock edges in the inspect view, as these lose paint first.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, as they change the look of the tan receiver.
• Souvenir copies carry their own stickers, so make sure their placement suits you.
