Tec-9 | Cracked Opal (Battle-Scarred)

The Tec-9 | Cracked Opal (Battle-Scarred) is the same hand-painted, cracked-wood and opal-glow design at its roughest available condition. It's the most affordable way to bring this finish into a loadout.

Design

The design holds steady across wears: hand painted to resemble cracked, ancient wood with an underlying opal, just as Valve describes it. It's a community design by the artist bee, shipping with the flavor text "Doubles as a mood ring."

Tec-9 | Cracked Opal (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Float on this finish covers the full 0.00–1.00 range, and Battle-Scarred sits at the very top of it since there's no float cap limiting how worn it can get. At this grade the wood texture looks heavily cracked and worn, and the opal glow fades the most, though the pattern is still recognizable up close.

Tec-9 | Cracked Opal Rarity

By grade, this finish is Mil-Spec, the blue tier and the most common of the standard weapon rarities — a common classification for a design that still draws its own fans.

Tec-9 | Cracked Opal Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Spectrum 2 Collection, drawn from the Spectrum 2 Case that launched in September 2017. Mil-Spec tier drops pull at around 79.92% odds from that case as a group, making Cracked Opal one of its more common finishes.

Tec-9 | Cracked Opal Patterns

No paint-seed variation affects this finish — the cracked-wood texture and opal glow are placed the same way on every copy, so there's no blue-gem seed or rare pattern to seek out. At Battle-Scarred, the heavy wear shapes the look more than seed does.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version is available from the same Spectrum 2 Case, adding a permanent kill counter that carries through trades and sales at every wear, including this one. There's no Souvenir version, since Souvenir items only come from Major-tournament packages and this collection has never had one.

Tec-9 | Cracked Opal Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade in the Cracked Opal lineup, the entry point for buyers who want the design at the lowest possible cost. Even Factory New here stays firmly in budget territory, so this bottom grade is about as cheap as it gets for a Tec-9 skin. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the opal glow still show at Battle-Scarred?

Yes, though it's dimmer than on cleaner grades. The cracked-wood texture and colorful glow remain identifiable even at this rough condition, since there's no float cap softening how worn the finish can get.

Is Battle-Scarred the best value grade?

It's the cheapest option in the lineup, so if price is the top priority, this is the grade to buy. The overall finish is already inexpensive, so the savings compared to Well-Worn are modest but still real.

Can I get a StatTrak Battle-Scarred Tec-9 | Cracked Opal?

Yes, StatTrak copies exist at every wear grade from the same Spectrum 2 Case, including Battle-Scarred, with a permanent kill counter attached. There is still no Souvenir version at any wear.
