Souvenir USP-S | The Traitor (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

In Battle-Scarred this tarot-themed USP-S turns into a heavily scraped version of itself, with large patches of exposed metal across the silencer and slide. The crimson base remains as a broken backdrop, and only parts of the ornament survive. It is the cheapest way to own the finish and has a rough character of its own.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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 slide and frame are painted a deep crimson, with gold ornamental line work running along the slide and a wavy gold shape on the grip. The silencer fades from dark navy at the muzzle into red, crossed by red streaks, gold vines and small white blossoms.

Large patches of exposed metal cover the silencer and slide, and the grip shows heavy scraping. Only fragments of the gold ornament remain, and the hanging figure may be partly worn. In game the weapon reads as a battered pistol with red showing through the damage. Because the grade covers a wide range, the most worn copies look far rougher than those near its upper limit.

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

Gold, holo or foil stickers echo the ornament on the slide, while dark red or black designs blend into the base. A single sticker on the slide close to the gold line work keeps the artwork readable, and pale or white accents can mirror the blossoms on the silencer.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since the silencer tip and slide edges show the difference first.
• Inspect the thin gold line work and white blossoms on the silencer, as they lose definition early.
• Look at the grip ribbing and the hanging figure to confirm they are intact on worn copies.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they suit the red and gold palette.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget buyers who want the lowest entry into this finish.
• Fans of heavily worn, battered-looking skins.
• Conclusion: the cheapest copy with a rough character of its own.
