Souvenir Tec-9 | Ice Cap (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Ice Cap's float range ends early, so even Battle-Scarred copies avoid the heaviest damage a skin can show. The blue and white pattern on the shroud is clearly scraped at the edges and front, with patches of bare metal mixed into the speckles. The grey frame, grip and magazine keep the pistol readable as the same skin.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

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 finish covers the perforated barrel shroud, the muzzle and the upper receiver around the cocking handle. The base is a dark navy blue, broken up by an abstract mottled pattern of brighter blue and white spots.

Heavy scraping covers the muzzle, the hole rims and the top of the shroud, with larger areas of exposed metal. The pattern survives mostly on the sides of the shroud and the receiver. Because the float range ends early, the damage stays more restrained than on skins with a full range. In game the pistol still reads as dark blue on top and grey below.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.5

What it costs in each quality

Among 10 skins of the Tec-9 in the Mil-Spec Grade grade and this quality, this skin is the dearest.

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

White, silver and icy blue stickers, including holographic or foil ones, continue the cold palette of the shroud. The grey lower receiver is a calm surface for a single bright sticker. A warm accent such as orange or red stands out sharply against the blue.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low value in a grade means a cleaner shroud.
• Look at the muzzle and the rims of the shroud holes on the inspect screenshots, as these wear first.
• Compare Battle-Scarred with Well-Worn side by side, because the shortened range keeps the worst grade relatively tidy.
• Check applied stickers and name tags to make sure they match your plans for the pistol.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget entry players, since the shortened range keeps the damage moderate.
• Fans of a scraped, battle-used look on a cold blue finish.
• The cheapest way into Ice Cap with fewer compromises than usual.
