USP-S | Silent Shot (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Silent Shot keeps its blue-and-black character even in the lowest grade, because the colour covers most of the pistol rather than a few small areas. In Battle-Scarred large patches of grey metal break through on the silencer and slide, and the symbols survive mostly in the middle of the panels.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The silencer is painted bright blue and split into two sections by a dark band, each covered with dark geometric symbols, with a pale blue ribbed collar where it meets the slide. The slide carries the same blue with dark swirling shapes and lighter grey details, while the frame stays a muted gunmetal grey.

Large grey areas cover the silencer ends, the slide top and the blue accents on the frame. The symbols remain mainly in the centre of the silencer sections and on the sides of the slide. Because the float range runs to the very end, the roughest copies show far more bare metal than the cleaner ones in this grade.

StatTrak™ and Souvenir

This skin has a the StatTrak™ version with a kill counter. Right now it is 3.7× dearer than the regular one. There is also a the Souvenir version with tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Blue, white and black stickers continue the colour scheme of the slide, and holo or foil stickers in cold tones sit well against the dark symbols. Placing them on the slide near the ejection port keeps the silencer pattern uncovered.

What to check before buying

• Check the front edge of the silencer and the rings between its sections, since they lose paint first and are always in view.
• Compare the float position within the wear grade, because copies at the clean end of Field-Tested look noticeably better than those near Well-Worn.
• Look at the top of the slide and the magazine base in the inspect view for bare patches.
• Check applied stickers and name tag, as they change the look of the slide and add nothing if they clash with the blue.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget entry for players who want any version of Silent Shot.
• Fans of heavily used looks with large areas of bare metal.
• Conclusion: the cheapest way in, best checked for a copy with more paint left.
