Sawed-Off | Analog Input (Battle-Scarred)

The Sawed-Off | Analog Input (Battle-Scarred, BS) is a Restricted shotgun skin with diagonal color bands and the letters "X", "Y", "B", and "A", in its most heavily worn condition. It's the cheapest way into the retro design, trading surface polish for the lowest entry price.

Design

At heart this is a retro-gaming finish: diagonal bands of color topped with the button letters "X", "Y", "B", and "A", a bright, cheeky look with no camo or military angle. Designed by the community artist S.H.A.D.O.W, it ships with the line "19 in 99."

Sawed-Off | Analog Input (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

The finish is float-capped at roughly 0.62, so Battle-Scarred here is milder than on a full-1.0 skin — it never reaches the most battered end of the scale. Even so, this is the roughest grade the finish comes in, with heavy scratching and paint loss across the bands, though the bold colors keep the lettering readable.

Sawed-Off | Analog Input Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the purple tier in the middle of the standard weapon grades. One step above the common blue class, it's an uncommon grade that still keeps this heavily worn copy cheap.

Sawed-Off | Analog Input Case and Collection

Part of The Kilowatt Collection, this finish is pulled from the Kilowatt Case that launched in February 2024. The purple Restricted tier drops at a modest rate shared across the tier, and with the case still active, both unboxing and the market keep copies flowing.

Sawed-Off | Analog Input Patterns

The finish carries a fixed design, so the paint seed doesn't alter the look — the diagonal bands and the "X", "Y", "B", "A" lettering sit the same on every copy. There's no seed to chase and no blue-gem version, which leaves wear and float as the only things that set copies apart.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak edition exists for this finish, minted from the Kilowatt Case, and its confirmed-kill counter never gets wiped through trades or sales. No Souvenir version was ever made — Souvenir weapons are produced only from Major-tournament packages, and this skin was never distributed in one.

Sawed-Off | Analog Input Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade of this finish, the entry-level way to run the retro design for players who care about the look over the condition. If you want the button-letter shotgun for as little as possible, this is the way in. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred Analog Input still recognizable?

Yes. Despite heavy scratching and paint loss, the bright color bands and button lettering keep the design clearly readable at a glance in-game. Battle-Scarred is about accepting visible wear for the lowest price, not losing the artwork — you still get a recognizable Analog Input for less.

Why doesn't the Battle-Scarred copy look completely destroyed?

Because the finish is float-capped near 0.62 rather than the full 1.0, its worst copies never reach the most extreme wear you'd see on an uncapped skin. That cap keeps even the Battle-Scarred grade fairly legible, with the colors surviving through the damage.

Is there a StatTrak Battle-Scarred version?

Yes. A StatTrak edition is minted through the Kilowatt Case and can appear at any wear, including Battle-Scarred. It adds a confirmed-kill counter that never gets wiped when traded, and it costs more than the plain copy even at this budget grade.
