Tec-9 | Avalanche (Battle-Scarred)

The Tec-9 | Avalanche (Battle-Scarred) shows this Restricted hydrographic finish at its most heavily worn. It's the cheapest way to run the design in a loadout.

Design

The finish is a community creation by Guardian Gear, a sleek and futuristic hydrographic paint job rather than a tactical print. It comes with a fitting quote in-game: "We must be smart how we move against her, one wrong move and she'll come crashing down on both of us - The Serpent and the Truth Seeker."

Tec-9 | Avalanche (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

The Avalanche's float covers the entire 0.00 to 1.00 range, and Battle-Scarred sits at the very top of it. This is the roughest the finish gets — heavy scratching, dulled paint, and worn-through spots across the frame. Unlike some Tec-9 finishes, there's no cap here, so this is genuinely the finish's most damaged possible state.

Tec-9 | Avalanche Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the purple tier, positioned one step below Classified and above all common-grade weapon skins.

Tec-9 | Avalanche Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Revolver Case Collection, dropping from the Revolver Case that came out with CS:GO's Winter Update in December 2015. The Restricted tier from that case drops at approximately 15.98% combined, a rate shared across all the tier's finishes.

Tec-9 | Avalanche Patterns

The hydrographic pattern is fixed across every copy of this finish, so the paint-seed number never changes its appearance. There's no rare seed or "blue gem" variant to look for, no matter the wear.

StatTrak & Souvenir

StatTrak Battle-Scarred copies exist alongside the regular finish, adding a permanent kill counter that carries over through trades. There's no Souvenir version at any wear, since Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages and this finish was never in one.

Tec-9 | Avalanche Price

Battle-Scarred is the lowest-priced grade on the ladder, the entry point for buyers who want the Avalanche's look without paying for higher condition. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Battle-Scarred still show the Avalanche design clearly?

The overall hydrographic look remains identifiable, but expect heavy scratching, dulled color, and worn patches across the frame. It's the finish's roughest state, trading condition for the lowest price.

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

Yes, it's the bottom of the price ladder for this finish, below Well-Worn and every cleaner grade. It's the go-to pick for players who just want the design in their loadout for as little as possible.

Why does Battle-Scarred here look rougher than on some other Tec-9 finishes?

Because the Avalanche's float isn't capped — it runs the full 0.00 to 1.00 range, so Battle-Scarred copies can hit the most extreme wear the game allows. Some other finishes cap out earlier and never get this rough.
