SCAR-20 | Cardiac (Battle-Scarred)

The SCAR-20 | Cardiac (Battle-Scarred) is a Classified autosniper skin with an orange-and-blue design, shown here in its most weathered condition. It's the cheapest entry to a grail-tier finish, trading surface quality for the lowest price.

Design

Cardiac keeps the focus on color: a heat-wrapped orange-and-blue vinyl across the SCAR-20, letting the warm-versus-cool contrast carry the whole look. The finish is a community design from the artist Nextgenz, and it ships with a flatline of an in-game line: "beep. beep. beeeeeeeeeeeep..."

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

The finish covers the complete 0.00–1.00 float range, so Battle-Scarred copies can climb to the top of the scale — this is as worn as Cardiac gets. Heavy scratching and paint loss spread across the body, and the orange-and-blue print is noticeably dulled, though both colors still read. For players who want the design for as little as possible, this is the entry point.

SCAR-20 | Cardiac Rarity

Rarity: Classified — the pink tier, sitting directly below Covert as the second-highest of the standard weapon grades. It's a genuinely uncommon grade to unbox, and that scarcity is a big part of why the finish sits high-end.

SCAR-20 | Cardiac Case and Collection

Belonging to The Vanguard Collection, Cardiac is unboxed from the Operation Vanguard Weapon Case, which came out with Operation Vanguard in November 2014. The Classified tier drops around 3.2% of the time from the case (the rate is shared across the tier's skins), and since the case is out of the active drop pool, the market carries most copies today.

SCAR-20 | Cardiac Patterns

The orange-and-blue print is fixed on every copy, so paint seed plays no role — the same layout appears in the same place 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

You can also find a StatTrak Cardiac beside the standard finish; it tacks on a confirmed-kill counter, drops more rarely, and costs more, with a permanent tally that never gets wiped through trades or sales. There's no Souvenir variant — those come only from Major-tournament packages, and The Vanguard Collection has never been a Major drop.

SCAR-20 | Cardiac Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade of the finish, the entry-level way to run Cardiac for players who care about the design more than the condition. If you want the orange-and-blue SCAR-20 at the lowest cost, this is the way in. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred Cardiac still recognizable?

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

Why choose Battle-Scarred over cleaner grades?

Cost. It's the least expensive route to a Cardiac, which appeals to players who want a grail-tier design in their loadout without grail-tier spend. If a spotless surface matters to you, the higher grades reward the extra outlay — but for the look alone, Battle-Scarred does the job.

Does float or pattern drive the price at this grade?

Float, not pattern. Since the print 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.
