SSG 08 | Halftone Whorl (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Halftone Whorl has a capped float range, so its Battle-Scarred grade sits at the mild end of what the name usually suggests. The blue and green swirls are worn through on edges and the grip, yet the overall pattern is still clearly there.

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

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The barrel, muzzle brake and bipod stay dark gunmetal, giving the rifle a neutral front end. The receiver and slotted handguard carry dark grey and steel-blue tones with the halftone texture running across them.

Edges, grip and scope mounts are worn through, and chipping spreads further onto the handguard and stock frame. Because the float range is capped, the damage stays moderate compared with many other Battle-Scarred skins. In game the rifle looks weathered but still clearly teal and blue. Larger flat panels of the stock keep a readable halftone pattern.
