UMP-45 | Scaffold (Field-Tested)

The UMP-45 | Scaffold (Field-Tested) brings the hand-painted teal design to the most commonly traded grade of the finish. It's the classic way most players end up owning this skin.

Design

Scaffold's look comes from a hand-painted teal surface built up with shading to suggest real depth on the UMP-45. Community artist Mia designed it, and it comes with the flavor line "Brick by brick," echoing the layered construction of the paint job.

UMP-45 | Scaffold (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested sits mid-range on the finish's full 0.00–1.00 float scale, picking up light scratching along the edges and receiver while the teal paint and depth effect stay easy to read at a glance. This is the grade most owners actually run, balancing a solid look against a lower price.

UMP-45 | Scaffold Rarity

Restricted is the rarity here — the purple tier, positioned just under Classified and clearly above the common grades, making it a decent pull from any case.

UMP-45 | Scaffold Case and Collection

The finish comes from The Spectrum Collection by way of the Spectrum Case, launched with the "Take a trip to the Canals" update in March 2017. The Restricted tier pulls at roughly 15.98% from that case, a rate spread across the tier's skins, and because Spectrum has aged out of the active pool, the market is now the typical way to pick one up.

UMP-45 | Scaffold Patterns

No paint seed changes how Scaffold looks — the teal finish and depth effect sit identically on every copy, so there's no pattern or "blue gem" chase here. Wear and float alone separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this skin exists, adding a permanent kill counter that stays attached through trades and sales, and it commands a higher price than the standard version. There's no Souvenir copy, since Souvenir weapons are only issued through Major-tournament packages, which this finish has never been part of.

UMP-45 | Scaffold Price

Field-Tested is the value sweet spot of the Scaffold ladder — noticeably cheaper than Minimal Wear while still showing off the teal design clearly. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested Scaffold show much wear?

Some, but not enough to hide the design. Expect light scuffing along the edges and receiver, while the teal paint and depth effect stay easy to read. It's a reasonable middle ground between a pristine finish and a heavily worn one.

Is Field-Tested the best value grade to buy?

For most buyers, yes. It costs meaningfully less than Minimal Wear or Factory New while keeping the design fully legible, which is why it's the most commonly traded grade of this skin. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred go even cheaper if budget matters more than surface condition.

What update introduced the UMP-45 Scaffold?

It arrived with the "Take a trip to the Canals" update in March 2017, alongside The Spectrum Collection and the Spectrum Case. That case is no longer active, so most copies today trade on the market instead of coming from fresh unboxes.
