Souvenir SSG 08 | Fever Dream (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The manic pink, blue and purple drawings of Fever Dream remain the core of the skin even in its most worn grade. Battle-Scarred shows heavy scratching across the receiver, handguard and stock, with large parts of the linework broken up and bare material showing through. It suits those who like a chaotic, worn-down look or want the skin at its entry grade.

Item type: sniper rifle. 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 handguard carry the densest layer of the artwork: pink, cyan and purple swirls, faces and scribbled lettering packed over a black base. The barrel stays dark with thin white sketch marks running along it, while the scope and bipod remain plain dark grey.

Heavy scratching covers the receiver, handguard, stock and barrel, and much of the linework is broken. The black base is dulled and patchy, with bare material showing on edges and raised parts. In game the rifle reads as a dark body with scattered neon fragments. Only the most sheltered panels keep fairly intact drawings.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.72

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The Prisma 2 Collection with 17 skins in total.

It drops from Prisma 2 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.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in pink, cyan, purple or black fit the neon-on-black palette without clashing. Placements on the darker parts of the barrel or grip area stand out better than on the already busy receiver. Holo or foil stickers in matching tones blend well with the drawings.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show noticeably less scratching.
• Inspect the handguard edges, receiver top and rear of the stock, as these lose the drawings first.
• Look at applied stickers and any name tag, because they change the overall look of a busy finish.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir version, as both exist for this skin.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget buyers who want the skin at its entry grade.
• Fans of heavily worn, grungy finishes.
• Conclusion: the cheapest way in, accepting a broken-up look.
