MAG-7 | Core Breach (Battle-Scarred)

The MAG-7 | Core Breach (Battle-Scarred, BS) is a Restricted shotgun skin with orange radioactive symbols over a black base, in its most heavily worn condition. It's the cheapest way into the finish, trading surface quality for the lowest entry price on a premium Restricted skin.

Design

The finish keeps things stark: an orange pattern of radioactive hazard symbols laid across a matte black body, built on contrast rather than clutter. Designed by Valve for the Nuke collection, it ships with a fitting in-game line: "Safety protocols have failed."

MAG-7 | Core Breach (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

At the top of the 0.00–1.00 range, Battle-Scarred wears its damage openly — heavy scratching and paint loss cover the body, and the black base is worn thin in places. The orange symbols keep the skin readable, but this is the roughest the finish gets. It's for players chasing the hazard design at the lowest possible cost.

MAG-7 | Core Breach Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the purple tier. It sits mid-pack in the standard weapon grades — above Mil-Spec, below Classified — and it's an uncommon grade to unbox, so even the worn copies carry more weight than common-tier skins.

MAG-7 | Core Breach Case and Collection

This finish sits in The 2018 Nuke Collection, released together with the FACEIT 2018 update on September 3, 2018. Across the collection the Restricted tier drops around 15.98% of the time (that rate covers all the tier's skins), and with the collection long retired, most regular copies reach players through the market.

MAG-7 | Core Breach Patterns

Since the orange symbols land the same way on every copy, the finish has no random pattern variation — no paint seed to compare, no blue-gem edition to hunt. The only things that set copies apart are wear and float, which makes buying a Battle-Scarred copy purely about price.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You won't find a StatTrak MAG-7 | Core Breach, since StatTrak is minted only by weapon cases and this skin comes from a collection with none. The finish is available as a standard version and a Souvenir one — Souvenir copies started with the London 2018 Nuke Souvenir Package and continued through later Major souvenir packages.

MAG-7 | Core Breach Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade of the finish — the most affordable way to run a premium Restricted skin for players who value the design over its condition. If you want the hazard look for as little as possible, this is the door in. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred Core Breach still recognizable?

Yes. Despite heavy scuffing and worn-through patches, the black base and bright orange symbols keep the design readable at a glance in-game. Battle-Scarred is about accepting visible damage in exchange for the lowest price — you keep the hazard look, just without the polish a higher grade would hold.

Why is Battle-Scarred the cheapest grade?

Because it carries the most wear. Higher floats mean more scratching and paint loss, which buyers rate below cleaner copies, so the price drops. On a premium Restricted finish like this, Battle-Scarred is the most affordable way in, even if it stays pricier than the common-tier MAG-7 skins.

Who made the Core Breach?

It's a Valve-made finish, part of The 2018 Nuke Collection added in the FACEIT 2018 update. The design is a spread of orange radioactive hazard symbols over a black base, carrying the flavor line "Safety protocols have failed" — a nod to the reactor-meltdown theme behind the Nuke map it was tied to.
