★ Specialist Gloves | Foundation (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ Specialist Gloves | Foundation (Battle-Scarred, BS) is the finish's roughest, most affordable condition, still built on the same white, black, and orange design. It's the entry point for anyone who wants the look without paying for a low float.

Design

The core look doesn't change at the bottom of the ladder: white and black leather with orange accents across the knuckles and fingers, echoing the Asiimov-style contrast the finish is known for. Foundation has always leaned on that bold color split rather than extra graphics, and that holds even at its most worn.

★ Specialist Gloves | Foundation (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred takes up the top of the finish's float range, from 0.45 to 0.80. Because the finish is capped at 0.80 rather than the full 1.0, even this roughest grade stays milder than the worst-case wear on a full-range skin — expect heavy yellowing and dulled color across the leather, with the orange accents faded but still visible.

Specialist Gloves | Foundation Rarity

Rarity: Extraordinary ★ — the glove rarity tier, a rare special "glove" item pulled from its case pool. That tier is a rare case outcome across the board, regardless of the wear it lands in.

Specialist Gloves | Foundation Case

Foundation can be pulled from the Glove Case or the Operation Hydra Case, so it isn't limited to one. In both, the rare special "glove" tier that gloves occupy drops at around 0.28%, a rate that's shared across the whole tier's finishes rather than specific to this one.

Specialist Gloves | Foundation Pattern and Colorway

Foundation has a completely fixed look — no paint seed, no "blue gem" variant, and the same white, black, and orange leather layout on every copy that exists. Float is the only thing distinguishing one Battle-Scarred pair from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Like the rest of the finish's grades, Battle-Scarred has no StatTrak™ option, because gloves don't carry a kill-tracking mechanic at all, and no Souvenir edition, since Souvenir gear is exclusive to Major-tournament packages that never include gloves.

Specialist Gloves | Foundation Price

Battle-Scarred is the most accessible grade on the Foundation ladder, priced well below Well-Worn (WW) and every cleaner condition above it. It's the way to get this grail-tier finish into a loadout for the least money. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred worth it over Well-Worn?

Only if the lowest possible price is the goal. Well-Worn looks a fair bit cleaner for a modest step up in cost, so it's the better pick if you care at all about surface condition. Battle-Scarred is for buyers who want Foundation for as little as possible and don't mind the extra wear.

How scuffed does Battle-Scarred look?

Heavily. Expect deep yellowing and noticeably dulled color spread across the leather, with the orange accents faded but still readable. It's the roughest the finish gets, though the cap on its float range keeps it from looking as trashed as some full-range skins.

What's the cheapest way to own the Specialist Gloves | Foundation?

Battle-Scarred is it — the lowest grade on the price ladder for this finish. It won't have the crisp orange accents of Factory New (FN), but it carries the same white, black, and orange design for buyers prioritizing price over float.
