SCAR-20 | Cardiac (Well-Worn)

The SCAR-20 | Cardiac (Well-Worn) is a Classified autosniper skin carrying an orange-and-blue design, here in a more weathered state. It's a cheaper route into a grail-tier finish for players who don't mind visible wear.

Design

At heart Cardiac is a heat-wrapped orange-and-blue vinyl spread over the SCAR-20, a warm-meets-cool contrast that carries the design on color alone. It began as a community submission from the artist Nextgenz, and it ships with a heartbeat-flatline in-game line: "beep. beep. beeeeeeeeeeeep..."

SCAR-20 | Cardiac (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

The finish uses the entire 0.00–1.00 float range, and Well-Worn sits toward the rough end of it. Scuffing and paint loss become obvious across the body and edges, and the orange-and-blue print dulls a little under the wear — though the two colors still come through. For buyers who prioritize price over surface condition, this grade brings the design down to a friendlier number.

SCAR-20 | Cardiac Rarity

Rarity: Classified, the pink tier — ranked just beneath Covert and second from the top of the standard weapon grades. Pulling one from a case is genuinely uncommon, which is a key reason the finish carries a premium.

SCAR-20 | Cardiac Case and Collection

Cardiac sits within The Vanguard Collection and drops from the Operation Vanguard Weapon Case, released together with Operation Vanguard in November 2014. The Classified tier as a whole unboxes about 3.2% of the time (that odds figure is shared across the tier), and because the case has left the active pool, supply is fixed — buyers get most copies on the market.

SCAR-20 | Cardiac Patterns

Because the print is a fixed design, there's no random pattern variation — the seed number has no bearing on the orange-and-blue layout, which sits identically on every copy. No blue-gem seed to track, nothing to filter for; only wear and float ever separate one Cardiac from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak Cardiac does exist alongside the regular finish, bringing a confirmed-kill counter that's a scarcer, pricier drop; the tally is permanent and never gets wiped whenever the item changes hands. A Souvenir version was never made, since Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages and The Vanguard Collection has never featured at a Major.

SCAR-20 | Cardiac Price

Well-Worn sits near the bottom of Cardiac's ladder, below Field-Tested and above only Battle-Scarred — a more affordable way into a grail-tier finish for players who won't pay the higher-grade premium. It's one of the cheaper routes to the design. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How rough does the Well-Worn Cardiac look?

Fairly noticeable. You'll see scuffing and paint thinning across the body and edges, and the orange-and-blue print loses a bit of its vibrancy under the wear. It's clearly more battered than Field-Tested but stops short of the heaviest damage, so the two colors still identify the skin in-game.

Is Well-Worn worth it over Field-Tested?

Mainly if price is your priority. Field-Tested keeps the print looking noticeably fresher for a modest step up in cost, so most buyers land there. Well-Worn makes sense when you want Cardiac's design as affordably as possible without dropping all the way to Battle-Scarred.

Does the seed affect Well-Worn copies?

Not at all. The print is fixed, so the paint seed doesn't change the artwork — every copy shares the same orange-and-blue layout regardless of index. What varies between Well-Worn copies is purely the amount and placement of visible wear, driven by the exact float, not any pattern.
