UMP-45 | Crimson Foil (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Crimson Foil turns the UMP-45 into a red and silver colour-blocked SMG with a metallic, foil-like surface. In Battle-Scarred the paint is chipped heavily on the receiver, rails and magazine, yet the skin's range stops short of the deepest damage, so the red base remains visible. It suits buyers who want the scheme with a weathered, battered character.

Item type: smg. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The upper receiver and handguard are covered in a deep metallic crimson that has a slight foil-like sheen. The front end around the barrel, the top rail and the side rails are finished in bright chrome, and the long magazine is polished silver with dark accents.

Heavy chipping covers the receiver edges, rails, magazine and grip, with bare metal showing in many places. The chrome surfaces look scratched and matte. Because the float range ends before the most extreme wear, the crimson still covers a good part of the receiver and handguard. In game the gun reads as battered but keeps its red and silver identity.

What to check before buying

• On Souvenir copies, review the applied stickers and how they sit against the red and silver blocks.
