MP5-SD | Gauss (Battle-Scarred)

The MP5-SD | Gauss (Battle-Scarred) is the most heavily worn version of this stamped-steel finish. It's the cheapest entry point into a premium, Restricted-tier skin, for buyers who value the design more than a clean surface.

Design

Gray panels styled to look like stamped, pieced-together steel define the Gauss, a design from Millenia that trades a smooth paint job for a rougher, sci-fi sheet-metal identity. It's earned the community nickname "SpaceGat 2000," which carries through at every wear grade.

MP5-SD | Gauss (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Float on this finish spans the full 0.00 to 1.00 range, and Battle-Scarred sits at the very top of it. Since Gauss isn't float-capped, this grade reaches the maximum extent of wear a skin can show — heavy scratching and dulled paint across the stamped-steel panels, with the layout still visible but noticeably rougher.

MP5-SD | Gauss Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the purple tier, sitting above Mil-Spec Grade and below Classified and Covert. Even at this worn grade, it's a genuinely uncommon skin to come across.

MP5-SD | Gauss Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Prisma Collection and comes out of the Prisma Case, first released in March 2019. As a Restricted finish, it drops at roughly 15.98% from that case, well below the common Mil-Spec rate.

MP5-SD | Gauss Patterns

No paint seed variation exists on the Gauss — every copy shows the identical stamped-steel layout, so there's nothing like a "blue gem" pattern worth chasing. Wear grade is the only meaningful difference between two copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version, sourced from the same Prisma Case, tracks confirmed kills permanently and keeps that count intact through every trade or sale. Souvenir copies don't exist here either, since Souvenir weapons only ever come from Major-tournament packages, and this collection has never appeared in one.

MP5-SD | Gauss Price

Battle-Scarred is the entry-level grade of the Gauss lineup, priced below every other wear. Given the finish's premium standing overall, this grade offers the lowest-cost way to add it to a collection. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred the cheapest way to get the Gauss?

Yes — it's the lowest grade on the price ladder, cheaper than Well-Worn, Field-Tested, Minimal Wear, and Factory New. It's the most accessible way into this otherwise premium, Restricted-tier finish.

Does heavy wear ruin the stamped-steel look?

Not entirely — the panel-like layout is still distinguishable even under heavy scratching, since the design relies on distinct steel plates rather than fine detail that would disappear with wear.

Why does Battle-Scarred reach such rough condition on the Gauss?

Because the finish isn't float-capped and runs the full 0.00–1.00 range, Battle-Scarred copies can land at the extreme high end of wear, unlike finishes that are capped below 1.00 and stay milder even at their worst grade.
