UMP-45 | Gold Bismuth (Battle-Scarred)

The UMP-45 | Gold Bismuth (Battle-Scarred, BS) is the roughest grade of this Restricted finish, which layers a gold bismuth pattern between white and black base coats. It's also the cheapest way to add the design to a loadout.

Design

A gold bismuth pattern sits sandwiched between white and black base coats, going for a metallic, layered effect rather than a painted scene. The design is credited to community artist G-99Factory, with the in-game line "You have expensive taste…" attached.

UMP-45 | Gold Bismuth (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Float on this finish tops out at 0.70 rather than the full 1.0, so even Battle-Scarred stops short of the most extreme wear a weapon can reach. Expect heavy scratching and a noticeably dulled gold layer at this grade, though the base pattern remains visible under the damage.

UMP-45 | Gold Bismuth Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the purple tier, one step above Mil-Spec and one below Classified in the standard rarity ladder, a reasonably uncommon grade to unbox.

UMP-45 | Gold Bismuth Case and Collection

This finish drops from the Operation Broken Fang Case within The Operation Broken Fang Collection, both released alongside the Operation Broken Fang update in December 2020. As a tier, Restricted skins from that case land around 15.98% of the time, a rate shared across the tier rather than specific to this finish.

UMP-45 | Gold Bismuth Patterns

No random seed affects this finish's look — the gold-and-base-coat layers are identical on every copy, so there's no paint pattern or "blue gem" version to seek out. Only wear separates one unit from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition of this finish exists and adds a permanent kill counter, generally priced above the plain version. There's no Souvenir copy, since Souvenir weapons only ever come from Major-tournament packages and this finish has never been included in one.

UMP-45 | Gold Bismuth Price

Battle-Scarred sits at the bottom of the finish's price ladder, the entry point for anyone who wants the gold-bismuth look for as little as possible. It's the budget route into an otherwise premium-tier finish. Skin.Land has it listed with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Why isn't Battle-Scarred completely trashed-looking on this finish?

Because float here caps at 0.70 instead of the full 1.0, so this finish never reaches the most extreme wear possible in the game. Combined with the metallic base coats, the pattern stays legible even at the roughest available grade.

Is Battle-Scarred a good entry point for this finish?

Yes, if budget matters more than surface condition. It's the cheapest way to own the Gold Bismuth design, and the capped float range means it still looks presentable compared with fully worn skins elsewhere in the game.

Does Battle-Scarred change the StatTrak or Souvenir situation?

No. Wear grade only affects appearance and price — the StatTrak™ version is available at every wear including this one, and there's still no Souvenir copy, since this finish has never been part of a Major-tournament package.
