MAC-10 | Heat (Battle-Scarred)

The MAC-10 | Heat (Battle-Scarred) is the most worn grade of this forge-inspired Restricted finish, the cheapest way to add its fiery orange look to a loadout. It trades polish for the lowest price on the ladder.

Design

The design is built around a custom paint job meant to resemble freshly forged metal, all warm orange and ember tones. Community artist joop created it, and the line "Make some outlines of your own" fits the theme even in a rougher state.

MAC-10 | Heat (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

At the top of the skin's full 0–1.00 float range, Battle-Scarred shows the heaviest scuffing and grime the Heat reaches, muting much of the fiery gradient beneath a worn, weathered surface. Unlike some finishes with a lower float cap, this one can hit the extreme end of the wear scale in full.

MAC-10 | Heat Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the purple tier — an uncommon pull regardless of how worn the specific copy looks.

MAC-10 | Heat Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Phoenix Collection and comes from the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, launched with Operation Phoenix in February 2014. Restricted skins drop at roughly 15.98% from that case (a rate shared across the tier), and with the case out of active rotation, most copies now trade on the market instead of getting unboxed.

MAC-10 | Heat Patterns

The forge-style artwork is identical across every copy regardless of paint seed, so there's no rare pattern or "blue gem" version to hunt for at any wear grade. Float and wear remain the only real differences between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this finish exists and adds a permanent kill counter that carries through trades and sales; it's a rarer, pricier drop from the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case than the standard skin. No Souvenir edition was ever made, since those only come from Major-tournament packages and Phoenix has never been one.

MAC-10 | Heat Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade of the Heat, the entry-level way to own the design for buyers who value price over polish. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Battle-Scarred lose the forge look entirely?

Not entirely — the orange and ember base is still visible under the heavy scuffing and grime, though it's noticeably rougher and less vivid than the cleaner grades. It reads as a well-used weapon rather than a fresh forge job.

Why does Battle-Scarred here reach full extreme wear?

The Heat's float runs the full 0–1.00 range without a cap, so unlike some capped finishes, its Battle-Scarred copies can hit the roughest wear the game allows.

Is Battle-Scarred worth buying for the StatTrak counter?

If you want the cheapest possible StatTrak entry into this finish, yes — StatTrak is available across every wear grade, Battle-Scarred included, though it still costs more than the non-StatTrak version at the same grade.
