Sawed-Off | Irradiated Alert (Battle-Scarred)

The Sawed-Off | Irradiated Alert (Battle-Scarred) is a Consumer Grade shotgun spray-painted with radiological warning hazard patterns, here in its most heavily worn condition. It's the cheapest way into the industrial hazard-sign look, trading surface polish for the lowest entry price.

Design

Irradiated Alert is pure industrial grit: radiological warning hazard patterns sprayed over a dark, utilitarian body, evoking contamination-zone signage. Designed by Valve for The Nuke Collection, it favors a grim, functional theme with no decorative extras.

Sawed-Off | Irradiated Alert (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred is the bottom of a range that runs 0.06–0.80, so this grade carries the heaviest scuffing and paint loss the finish permits. But because the float is capped at 0.80 rather than the full 1.0, even here the wear stops short of the worst a full-range skin would show — so the hazard markings stay readable, just plainly battered across the frame.

Sawed-Off | Irradiated Alert Rarity

Rarity: Consumer Grade — the white tier at the base of the standard weapon grades and the most common rarity in the game. Even so, this finish's scarcity within its own set keeps its standing well above the usual white-tier floor.

Sawed-Off | Irradiated Alert Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Nuke Collection, brought in with the Arms Deal update in August 2013. The regular version is a collection drop rather than a case unbox — earned through drops and trade-ups — so its supply follows that pool instead of case openings.

Sawed-Off | Irradiated Alert Patterns

Because the radiological hazard markings sit the same way on every copy, there's no pattern variation here — no seed and no "blue gem" to chase. Wear and float are all that separate one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak Irradiated Alert, though a Souvenir version does exist beside the regular finish. Souvenir copies debuted in the ESL One Cologne 2014 Nuke Souvenir Package and later appeared in other Major-tournament packages across different events, each bearing a gold nameplate and random tournament stickers.

Sawed-Off | Irradiated Alert Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade of the finish — the entry-level way to run the hazard-pattern shotgun for players who care more about the look than the condition. If you want the design 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 Irradiated Alert still recognizable?

Yes. Despite the heavy scuffing, the radiological hazard markings keep the shotgun clearly readable at a glance in-game. And since the float caps at 0.80, this grade never reaches the most extreme wear a full-range skin would, so the design holds together better than you might expect at the cheapest grade.

Why isn't Battle-Scarred as trashed as other skins?

The finish is float-capped at 0.80, so its worst copies never touch the top of the wear scale. Combined with a dark industrial base that absorbs damage, the shotgun stays more legible at Battle-Scarred than many lighter, glossier finishes do at the same grade.

Does Battle-Scarred come as a Souvenir?

It can. Souvenir Irradiated Alert exists across wear grades, Battle-Scarred included, sourced from Major-tournament Nuke souvenir packages rather than collection drops. Those copies wear a gold nameplate and tournament stickers, making them collectible editions distinct from the regular shotgun described here.
