AK-47 | Jaguar (Battle-Scarred)

Battle-Scarred (BS) on the AK-47 | Jaguar is the float band from 0.45 to 1.00, which is 55% of the paint scale. It is a Covert rifle from The eSports 2014 Summer Collection. Buying this AK for CS2 in Battle-Scarred means choosing the most worn look of a skin from that collection.

What the AK-47 | Jaguar looks like in Battle-Scarred

The rifle is painted in swamp-green tiger-stripe camouflage with sandy and dark swirls. On the dark olive cover of the receiver lies the outline of a big cat: the head toward the front sight, the body stretched toward the rear sight. The stock and lower guard are left as ginger wood, and near the front of the receiver a small red dot glows, the eye of the figure. Valve describes the artwork as a panther on tiger-stripe camouflage.

The outline of the cat is made of thin light lines and breaks up early, especially at the bends of the cover. In Battle-Scarred the green edges of the handguard, the ribs of the magazine and the corners of the receiver sides are scuffed the most. The wood is not painted, so wear leaves its look alone. The float of a copy is set when it drops and will not change, however long it sits in an inventory. Across 0.45 to 1.00, listings from the two ends of the band look different.

Where the AK-47 | Jaguar came from

The author of the AK-47 | Jaguar is Valve itself; the finish has no outside artist. The skin was released in July 2014, together with The eSports 2014 Summer Collection. In Valve's catalog it carries number 316.

What to check before buying

When picking an AK-47 | Jaguar, compare the following:

• float: in this wear it lies between 0.45 and 1.00;


• leftovers from the previous owner: stickers, a name tag;


• whether the light line of the cat's outline on the receiver cover is intact.

There is no lucky pattern to fish for on the AK-47 | Jaguar: it is always the same one.

Getting the AK-47 | Jaguar

Cases are one source: the eSports 2014 Summer Case.

A trade-up contract returns a Covert skin: ten skins of the rank below go in, from any collections, and the result comes from the collection of one of the inputs. Ten from The eSports 2014 Summer Collection give one of the set's two Covert skins, so the odds for this AK are one in two.

The Jaguar itself also goes into a craft: five Covert skins of one type are exchanged for a rare special item with the ★ mark. The pool of this collection holds the Bayonet, Flip Knife, Gut Knife, Karambit and M9 Bayonet.

StatTrak and Souvenir

StatTrak exists for the AK-47 | Jaguar. Souvenir packages do not include it.

Stickers and craft on the AK-47 | Jaguar

The dark receiver cover with the cat's outline leaves little room: a sticker easily hides the figure. Light stickers read well against the dark olive, and on the green handguard white and red ones look best. The ginger wood of the stock goes with gold and orange.

Who this wear suits

Battle-Scarred is worth buying on the AK-47 | Jaguar if:

• you want a Covert AK from an old collection at a price level with Well-Worn (WW);


• wear does not matter as long as the cat's outline still reads;


• you need swamp-green camouflage with ginger wood for CS2.
