USP-S | Target Acquired (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Target Acquired is a pink map-and-HUD design for the USP-S, and its wear range stops well short of the heaviest damage. Battle-Scarred copies therefore keep much of the pattern, with metal scratches concentrated on the silencer, slide edges and grip contours.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The whole pistol is covered in a magenta base with lighter pink map lines, curves and grid fragments, broken up by darker maroon zones. The silencer carries the largest, most open part of the pattern, while the slide and frame show denser HUD-like markings and small lighter flecks.

Scratches are heaviest on the silencer, slide edges, grip contours and trigger guard. Fine HUD lines are partly lost on these parts, and the surface looks rougher overall. Because the wear range is capped, the flat panels still carry recognisable pink map pattern, and in game the skin stays clearly identifiable.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.5

The float of USP-S | Target Acquired ranges from 0 to 0.5; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–0.5 — 10% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Souvenir version

There is also a the Souvenir version with tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

Pink, magenta, white and holographic stickers blend with the map pattern, while black or dark red ones add contrast. The flat side of the slide is the clearest placement, since the busy pattern on the silencer can swallow small stickers.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the silencer tip and the slide edges, since that is where metal shows through first.
• Check where the float sits within the grade, because low floats in Field-Tested look close to Minimal Wear.
• Remember that the wear range is capped, so even the most worn grade keeps much of the pattern and may be a sensible budget pick.
• For Souvenir copies, check the preset stickers and decide whether they work with the pink finish.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget players who want the skin at the most affordable grade.
• Buyers who know the capped wear range leaves much of the pattern intact.
• The entry point to Target Acquired with little visual compromise.
