Souvenir Tec-9 | Avalanche (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Avalanche relies on pale cyan and white streaks over a dark grey pistol, and in Battle-Scarred that light layer suffers the most. Large patches of the pattern are worn through on the shroud and magazine, leaving a rough, frost-bitten look. It is the cheapest way to get this colour scheme in hand.

Item type: pistol. 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.

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 perforated barrel shroud is covered in a turquoise and white marbled hydrographic that resembles cracked ice, with the black holes standing out against the light pattern. The upper receiver continues the icy pattern with white trim lines, while the lower receiver and grip are dark grey with thin white outlines and a round emblem on the side.

Large areas of the icy pattern are gone from the shroud, the muzzle and the bottom of the magazine. The receiver edges and the orange parts are heavily scratched, and the white outlines on the grip are broken. In game the pistol looks rough and grimy, with the cyan reduced to scattered patches. Only the flatter central areas keep some of the original finish.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–1

The whole float range of Souvenir Tec-9 | Avalanche is 0–1; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–1 segment (55% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

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

The source is Revolver 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

White, silver, holographic and light blue stickers blend with the icy pattern and keep the cold palette intact. A single orange or red accent sticker on the dark grey receiver can echo the bolt handle and trigger.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since the light pattern shows scratches more than dark finishes do.
• Inspect the shroud edges and the bottom of the magazine, as these lose paint first.
• Look at any applied stickers or name tag, which can change how the clean icy look reads.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy, since both versions exist for this skin.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players looking for the cheapest entry to this skin.
• Those who like a rough, frost-bitten look with patchy paint.
• Conclusion: a budget pick where the price matters more than a clean finish.
