StatTrak™ USP-S | Flashback (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Flashback is a khaki-green USP-S decorated like a soldier's personal kit, with painted slogans and a peace sign. Because the skin's float range stops short of the deepest wear, Battle-Scarred copies are less damaged than on many full-range skins: the lettering is worn through in places, but the design stays readable. This is the most rugged version of a finish that was meant to look aged.

Item type: pistol. 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.

Other 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 silencer carries a large hand-painted SHHH! in cream over a mottled olive-green base with darker speckling. The slide shows BORN TO CLUTCH inside an outlined frame, with smaller handwritten marks near its rear and along its side.

The lettering on the silencer and slide is worn through in many spots, and metal shows along the edges of the whole pistol. The peace sign and grip paint are scuffed but still visible. Because the range ends before extreme values, the design is not erased the way it is on the dirtiest skins. In game it reads as a heavily used olive pistol with traces of writing.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.5

The whole float range of StatTrak™ USP-S | Flashback is 0–0.5; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.5 segment (10% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

StatTrak™ version

This is the StatTrak™ version: the counter on the weapon shows confirmed kills. There is also the regular version without the counter. Right now the StatTrak™ version is 3.6× dearer than the regular one.

Which stickers suit it

Olive, brown, cream and muted gold stickers fit the military palette, as do text or stamp-style designs that echo the handwritten slogans. Place them on the free area of the slide or near the rear so the main lettering stays visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the SHHH! lettering on the silencer, since it is the first large element to lose paint.
• Look at where the float sits within the grade, especially in Field-Tested, where low and high copies differ noticeably.
• Inspect stickers on the slide, as they can cover the BORN TO CLUTCH text.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy, since both versions exist for this skin.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Buyers looking for the cheapest way to own the skin.
• Fans of rugged finishes, helped by the skin's limited range keeping the design readable.
• The roughest yet still recognisable version.
