StatTrak™ MAG-7 | Popdog (Battle-Scarred)

What the StatTrak™ counter does

The StatTrak™ MAG-7 | Popdog (Battle-Scarred, BS) is the StatTrak™ copy of this skin — the same Mil-Spec Grade finish, the same look, with a kill counter built into the model. Popdog keeps things fun: the paint resembles a comic train car with a bold "Pop Dog" logo running down the side, colorful and cartoonish through and through. Battle-Scarred covers everything from 0.45 up to 1.00 float — the most heavily worn grade and the cheapest way into the skin.

What StatTrak™ changes about the price of the MAG-7 | Popdog

The counter logs every confirmed kill you get with it and keeps the running total on the model. It belongs to the item and not to your account, so it travels with the skin through every trade and sale, and nothing sets it back to zero. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows.

Where a StatTrak™ copy comes from

A StatTrak™ copy is far scarcer than a plain one at the same finish and exterior, so it normally costs more. How much more follows the finish and the float rather than the number on the counter — a high kill count is a curiosity, not a price driver.

FAQ

The Popdog is part of The CS20 Collection and drops from the CS20 Case, which launched in October 2019 for the game's 20th anniversary. StatTrak™ is settled at the drop: a copy either leaves the case with a counter or never has one, and it cannot be added afterwards.

Can the StatTrak counter on the MAG-7 | Popdog be reset?

No. The count only moves one way and stays with the item through every trade and sale. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows. It still cannot lower the number.

Does StatTrak change how the MAG-7 | Popdog looks?

No, apart from the counter on the model. The finish, the pattern and the float range are identical to the plain version, so at the same exterior the two look the same in hand.
