StatTrak™ FAMAS | ZX Spectron (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred turns the ZX Spectron into a heavily worn piece: the stripes are chipped, the red lines are largely gone and bare spots cover the edges. Up close it looks like an old machine that has seen a lot, while at a distance the dark silhouette with patches of colour still points to this skin.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The whole FAMAS is covered in a matte black and charcoal base, with thin red outlines tracing the carry handle, receiver and trigger guard. A rainbow stripe of red, yellow, green and cyan runs across the carry handle and repeats on the side of the receiver above the grip.

The carry handle stripe is heavily chipped and the red outlines are mostly worn away. Bare spots cover the muzzle, the edges of the magazine and the stock corners, and the smaller markings lose clarity. In game the rifle reads as a dark, scratched FAMAS with remnants of colour, with the receiver stripe holding up better than the handle.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–1

The whole float range of StatTrak™ FAMAS | ZX Spectron is 0–1; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–1 segment (55% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in red, yellow, green or cyan echo the rainbow stripe, while plain black or holo stickers keep the dark body clean. Placing them along the receiver or stock, away from the stripes, keeps the retro-computer motif readable.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies at the cleaner end of a grade keep the stripes and red outlines noticeably better.
• Inspect the carry handle stripe and the muzzle first, as these parts lose paint before the rest of the rifle.
• Look at the red outlines along the receiver and trigger guard, because broken lines change the clean retro look quickly.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag and whether they suit the black and rainbow scheme.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players on the tightest budget who still want the dark silhouette with colour accents.
• Fans of heavily worn, old-machine aesthetics.
• The entry option for those who value price over condition.
