StatTrak™ SSG 08 | Parallax (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

At Battle-Scarred the Parallax keeps only part of its offset scatter: the dark base is chipped along edges and the coloured dots are patchy. The stripes on the stock are heavily scratched and lose contrast. It reads as a rough, used black rifle with traces of red and cyan.

Item type: sniper rifle. 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 remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The barrel, receiver and handguard are finished in near-black with small red and cyan marks placed slightly out of line, which creates the offset, double-image effect. The receiver side carries white inserts and small light markings that break up the dark surface.

The dark paint is chipped along the barrel, muzzle, receiver edges and stock. The stripes are badly scratched and the coloured scatter survives only in patches. In game the rifle looks rough and heavily used. Only the scope and bipod keep their plain look, since they carry little of the pattern.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in red, cyan, white or black match the scattered marks and the dark base. Glitch-style or holographic stickers along the receiver side or barrel echo the offset effect, while bright warm colours outside the palette tend to clash.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, because the light stock stripes show scuffing earlier than the dark base.
• Inspect the muzzle and barrel edges, as these lose paint first.
• Look at the stock in inspect mode to see how much contrast the stripes have kept.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they suit the red and cyan scheme.
