StatTrak™ AK-47 | Crane Flight (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred turns the clean ink painting into a rough, aged look, with the pale base heavily scuffed and the gold dulled. The black lines and red circles break up under scratches, giving the rifle a worn, almost weathered character. It is the cheapest entry to the skin and appeals to those who like a heavily used finish.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

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

The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver, handguard and magazine are covered in a white base with flowing black ink strokes, and the handguard carries part of the hand-drawn crane. The front sight, rear sight block, handguard fittings and the trigger area are finished in gold, while the barrel stays a light metallic grey.

Heavy scuffing covers the magazine, handguard and stock, and the white base is darkened and patchy. The ink lines and crane drawing are broken up by scratches, and the gold looks dull throughout. In game the rifle reads as a rough, aged version of the design. Only parts of the receiver keep a recognisable clean area.

Stickers and crafts

Gold, red and black-and-white stickers match the artwork and repeat the colours of the sights and the sun circle. Holo or gold stickers placed on the receiver above the magazine sit well against the pale base, while busy multicolour designs tend to clash with the ink drawing.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the white base shows scuffs more easily than darker finishes.
• Inspect the magazine edges and the lower handguard, which wear first on this skin.
• Look at the gold sights and fittings for dulling on raised edges.
• Review applied stickers and any name tag, as they strongly affect how the pale finish looks.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Those who like a heavily aged, weathered look on a pale finish.
• The cheapest entry for players who want the skin in their loadout.
• A niche pick for fans of rough, used finishes.
