SCAR-20 | Caged (Battle-Scarred)

The SCAR-20 | Caged (Battle-Scarred) is a Mil-Spec autosniper skin with a blue-and-purple gradient, shown here in its most weathered condition. It's the cheapest entry to the finish, trading surface quality for the lowest price.

Design

Caged keeps it simple: a blue-to-purple gradient laid across the SCAR-20, letting the color fade carry the whole look without decals or extra graphics. The finish is a community design from the artist -AVR-, and it ships with a wry in-game line: "That's a big weapon for such a small cage..."

SCAR-20 | Caged (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

The finish covers the complete 0.00–1.00 float range, so Battle-Scarred copies can reach the top of the scale — this is as worn as the skin gets. Heavy scratching and paint loss spread across the body, and the gradient is noticeably dulled, though the blue-to-purple base still reads. For players who want the color for as little as possible, this is the entry point.

SCAR-20 | Caged Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier, the base rung among the colored weapon grades. Because it's the tier that drops most often, the finish remains inexpensive and simple to source.

SCAR-20 | Caged Case and Collection

Belonging to The Genesis Collection, Caged debuted with the Show Off update in September 2025 and is obtained via the Sealed Genesis Terminal. The Mil-Spec tier forms the biggest slice of that pool, dropping about 79.92% of the time (an odds figure shared across the whole tier), which keeps copies abundant.

SCAR-20 | Caged Patterns

The gradient is a fixed design on every copy, so paint seed plays no role — the same blue-to-purple blend appears in the same spot each time, with no rare placement or blue gem in the mix. Wear and float are the sole differences from one Battle-Scarred copy to the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Caged is a regular-only finish: no StatTrak edition with a kill tally, and no Souvenir version either. That Souvenir gap is purely mechanical — the game mints Souvenir weapons only through Major-tournament packages, and The Genesis Collection has never been a Major drop.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred Caged still recognizable?

Yes. Despite the heavy scuffing and dulled color, the blue-to-purple gradient still reads as Caged at a glance in-game. Battle-Scarred is about accepting obvious wear in exchange for the lowest price on the finish — the design's identity survives even at its roughest grade.

Why choose Battle-Scarred over cleaner grades?

Cost, plainly. It's the least expensive way to add the Caged color to a loadout, which appeals to players building on a budget or wanting the skin purely for the gradient. If a spotless surface matters to you, the higher grades are worth the modest extra spend instead.

Does float or pattern drive the price at this grade?

Float, not pattern. Since the gradient is fixed, the seed index is irrelevant to value — every copy looks the same aside from wear. The exact float within the Battle-Scarred band nudges the look and price a little, but there's no rare pattern premium to factor in here.
