R8 Revolver | Nitro (Battle-Scarred)

Battle-Scarred is the roughest wear of the R8 Revolver | Nitro (Battle-Scarred, BS), an Industrial Grade sidearm finish built around a black and tangerine orange split. This page covers what to expect from the wear and how it's priced.

Design

Nitro's design stays consistent across wears — black and tangerine orange color blocking on the revolver's parts, without any decals layered in. Valve made the finish, and it's tied to a quote from Felix Riley, Commanding Officer: "Rona is as good as she thinks she is... she's just not old enough to realize she shouldn't point it out to everyone."

R8 Revolver | Nitro (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Float spans 0.06 to 0.80 on this finish, and Battle-Scarred sits at the very top, marking the worst condition it can reach. Heavy scratching and chipped paint are obvious here, and the orange loses much of its punch, though since the cap stops short of a full 1.00 float, it never gets quite as beat-up as a full-range skin's worst copies.

R8 Revolver | Nitro Rarity

This is an Industrial Grade skin, one of the more common rarities among the standard weapon grades. Even at its most damaged wear, that rarity tier keeps pricing on the low end.

R8 Revolver | Nitro Case and Collection

The finish is part of The 2018 Inferno Collection, released with the FACEIT 2018 update in September 2018. There's no specific case for it; it's picked up via the collection's drop pool or trade-ups.

R8 Revolver | Nitro Patterns

The black and orange layout doesn't vary by paint seed, so there's no pattern or blue-gem hunt to be had on any copy of this finish. Condition and float are what actually differ between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A regular version and a Souvenir version exist for this finish, but StatTrak was never produced for it. The Souvenir line began at the London 2018 Inferno Souvenir Package and continued at several later Majors.

R8 Revolver | Nitro Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest wear on the Nitro's price ladder, sitting below Well-Worn (WW) as wear becomes most pronounced. Even here, it stays within the finish's affordable mid-tier bracket, making it a low-cost pickup. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred the cheapest way to get the Nitro?

Yes, Battle-Scarred sits at the bottom of the Nitro's price ladder, making it the most affordable entry point for the finish. The trade-off is more visible scratching and a duller orange tone compared to cleaner wears.

How does the float cap affect Battle-Scarred here?

Since the Nitro's float tops out at 0.80 rather than a full 1.00, its Battle-Scarred grade is a bit milder than the worst-case wear on a full-range skin. It still shows clear damage, just not the most extreme possible.

Can I get a StatTrak Battle-Scarred Nitro?

No, there's no StatTrak version of the R8 Revolver | Nitro at any wear. It's available only as a regular copy or a Souvenir copy from Major-tournament packages.
