Souvenir UMP-45 | Houndstooth (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

UMP-45 | Houndstooth is a brown checked finish on the receiver and handguard, with a grey stock, grip and magazine. The skin's float range ends before the heaviest damage. Even Battle-Scarred copies keep much of the pattern on the flat sides, with worn patches on the edges and the rail. This is the cheapest way to get the look.

Item type: smg. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

A houndstooth print in dark brown and olive-tan covers the upper receiver, the top rail area, the handguard and the lower receiver around the trigger guard and magazine well. The magazine, pistol grip, vertical foregrip, skeleton stock and muzzle stay plain grey and khaki, which frames the patterned body.

The top rail, the handguard edges and the receiver corners are heavily scuffed down to grey metal. Wear also spreads onto the upper part of the receiver sides. Because the float range is capped, the flat lower body and the centre of the receiver still keep much of the brown check. In game the gun looks rough but clearly patterned rather than bare.

Price by quality

Among 4 skins of the UMP-45 in the Industrial 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

Warm browns, gold, cream and muted olive suit the houndstooth check and keep the tailored look. Bright neon stickers clash with the earthy palette. A single sticker on the receiver side or a calm row of similar tones works better than a busy mix.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float within the wear range, since copies at the low end of a grade look cleaner on the rail and handguard.
• Inspect the top rail and the front edge of the handguard, where the print wears off first.
• On Souvenir copies, look at the pre-applied stickers and decide whether they fit the brown pattern.
• Pattern placement barely matters here because the check is uniform, so focus on wear and stickers.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget buyers looking for the cheapest entry to this skin.
• Players who like a rough look that still keeps the pattern.
• The minimum-cost option that still looks patterned in game.
