MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket (Battle-Scarred)

The MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket (Battle-Scarred, BS) is the roughest-looking grade of this green forest finish. It's the lowest-cost way to own the design.

Design

The MAC-10 wears a forest pattern of muted greens and bark-style texture, a nature-focused look credited to the creator Valve. The flavor text "In the thick of it" rounds out the woodland theme.

MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

This finish caps out at 0.68 rather than the full 1.0, so even Battle-Scarred copies stop well short of the most extreme wear a skin can show. Expect clear scuffing and worn paint across the body at this grade, but the green tones and bark texture remain visible enough to keep the design readable.

MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket Rarity

Rarity is Mil-Spec Grade here, the blue tier and the most common rarity band in the game's standard grading, independent of wear.

MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket Case and Collection

Battle-Scarred copies still belong to The Boreal Collection, which launched with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. This finish isn't tied to any case, so supply comes entirely from the collection's own drop pool.

MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket Patterns

The forest artwork doesn't vary by seed — every copy carries the same pattern placement, so there's no blue-gem variant to look for. Only the wear grade separates one copy's look from another's.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak or Souvenir version of this finish exists at any wear. Souvenir status is only ever handed out through Major-tournament packages, and since The Boreal Collection has never featured in one, the Poplar Thicket stays regular-only.

MAC-10 | Poplar Thicket Price

Battle-Scarred sits at the bottom of the Poplar Thicket's price ladder, the way to grab the woodland pattern for as little as possible. It keeps an already budget finish about as cheap as it gets. Available on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Battle-Scarred still show the forest pattern clearly?

Yes — despite heavier scuffing, the green base and bark texture stay visible enough to identify the finish at a glance, helped by the fact that this skin never reaches the most extreme wear possible.

Why isn't the Battle-Scarred Poplar Thicket fully worn out?

Because this finish is float-capped at 0.68 instead of the theoretical 1.0 maximum, even its roughest copies stay noticeably milder than a full-range skin at the same grade name.

Is Battle-Scarred the cheapest way to own this skin?

Yes, it's the lowest grade on the price ladder. If the visible wear bothers you, Well-Worn (WW) or Field-Tested (FT) cost a little more but hide the damage better, so it's worth weighing how much surface condition matters to you.
