SSG 08 | Slashed (Battle-Scarred)

The SSG 08 | Slashed (Battle-Scarred) is a Mil-Spec sniper finish with a hydrographic claw-mark pattern, here in its roughest available condition. It's the cheapest way to own the torn-look Slashed design.

Design

Built around a hydrographic claw-mark motif, the finish looks like the rifle's surface has been torn or slashed rather than painted, a rough and aggressive style. It comes from the community artist .red, whose focus on intense, jagged patterns defines the whole look.

SSG 08 | Slashed (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred sits at the worn end of the Slashed's 0.15–0.80 float range, adding heavy scuffing and paint loss on top of the claw-mark texture. Because the float never climbs to a full 1.00, even this bottom grade stops short of the most extreme wear a skin can reach — the pattern stays legible despite the damage.

SSG 08 | Slashed Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade, sitting at the base of the standard weapon tiers just above Consumer Grade — a common rarity, even if this particular design stands out more than most at that level.

SSG 08 | Slashed Case and Collection

The Slashed belongs to The Huntsman Collection and unboxes from the Huntsman Weapon Case, released with Operation The Hunt Begins in May 2014. Mil-Spec skins drop around 79.92% of the time as a tier, making this one of the easiest pulls from that case — though these days most copies come from the market rather than a crate.

SSG 08 | Slashed Patterns

The claw-mark hydrographic is fixed across every copy of the Slashed, so there's no paint-seed variation or rare "blue gem" version to look for. Only the wear grade and exact float value change from one copy to the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition of this finish exists as well, adding a permanent kill counter and carrying a higher price tag than the plain version. No Souvenir copies were ever made, because Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages, and the Slashed has never appeared in one.

SSG 08 | Slashed Price

Battle-Scarred is the entry point into the Slashed line, the lowest price you'll find for this design across any grade. If budget matters more than surface condition, this is the way to grab it. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How rough does Battle-Scarred look on the Slashed?

Expect heavy scuffing and paint loss layered over the already-torn claw-mark artwork, giving the rifle a genuinely battle-worn look. Because the float is capped below 1.00, though, it never hits the most extreme wear some skins reach, so the pattern still stays readable.

Is Battle-Scarred the cheapest way to get this skin?

Yes — Battle-Scarred is the lowest grade in the Slashed's float range and typically the least expensive option, since it carries the most visible wear. Field-Tested and Well-Worn cost more but look progressively cleaner.

Does condition affect the claw-mark pattern's design?

No — the claw-mark artwork itself is fixed and identical on every copy regardless of wear. Condition only changes how much scuffing and fading sit on top of that fixed design, not the pattern layout itself.
