AK-47 | Phantom Disruptor (Battle-Scarred)

Battle-Scarred (BS) is, together with Field-Tested, the cheapest wear of the AK-47 | Phantom Disruptor, and its scale tops out at 0.65. This wear takes up 31% of the skin's scale. The skin is Classified and drops from the Prisma 2 Case.

What the AK-47 | Phantom Disruptor looks like in Battle-Scarred

The base is matte black, with a creature of haze painted on it, as Valve's description says. The artwork runs in swirls from the handguard to the stock: orange, yellow and turquoise lines, with rows of sharp yellow teeth on the lower handguard and on the magazine. A thin turquoise stripe passes under the barrel. The stock and grip stay partly black.

Battle-Scarred is the limit of wear. On a black base the light metal shows at once: the receiver edges, the magazine and the corners of the stock rub through first. The big swirls still read, while the small turquoise dots vanish ahead of the rest.

Where the AK-47 | Phantom Disruptor came from

The skin comes from the Steam Workshop. Its author, apel8, posted the submission "Ak-47 | Phantom Disruptor" on November 7, 2018, and Valve's catalog lists the finish under number 941.

The Prisma 2 Collection with this skin came out on March 31, 2020, and the skin arrived in the same update.

What to check before buying

Before paying, these are the things to look at:

• Float: the wear scale in this grade runs from 0.45 to 0.65.


• Light scuffs on the black base: they are more visible than on a colored artwork.


• Stickers on the stock and grip, and a name tag if the copy has one.

The pattern is identical on all copies. The band for this wear is 0.45 to 0.65, and listings from opposite ends of it look different.

What the AK-47 | Phantom Disruptor costs in Battle-Scarred

The other wears cost more:

• Factory New by almost seven and a half times.


• Minimal Wear by about 1.5 times.


• Field-Tested by about an eighth.


• Well-Worn by about a seventh.

The three lowest wears differ by no more than a seventh, while Factory New stands apart.

Among Classified AK-47s in this wear, the skin is in the lower part of the list: three cost less and eleven cost more. The AK-47 | The Outsiders is almost level, a little cheaper, and the AK-47 | Nouveau Rouge is a little higher. The AK-47 | Searing Rage and AK-47 | Ice Coaled are about a quarter cheaper.

Getting the AK-47 | Phantom Disruptor

The Prisma 2 Case is where this skin drops, and the finish has no other case.

Building it through a trade-up takes ten skins one rank down. The P2000 | Acid Etched, Sawed-Off | Apocalypto, SCAR-20 | Enforcer, SG 553 | Darkwing and SSG 08 | Fever Dream all qualify. Build the batch from one collection with three Classified skins and the chance is one in three. One rank higher are the Covert Glock-18 | Bullet Queen and M4A1-S | Player Two.

StatTrak and Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this AK exists. Souvenir copies of the finish also occur, but Souvenir packages for it were never issued, since they were limited to tournament map collections. You can put one together with the Souvenir-O-Matic, which adds gold tournament stickers and a player autograph to a regular skin from the inventory.

Stickers and craft on the AK-47 | Phantom Disruptor

The black areas of the stock and grip give a calm background, and bright stickers show better there than on the artwork. The lower handguard and the magazine with the teeth are best left uncovered, since they are the main subject. White and turquoise stickers echo the lines of the artwork, while yellow ones merge with the teeth. In CS2, one or two stickers are enough to avoid overloading the skin.

Who this wear suits

Battle-Scarred makes sense on this skin if:

• you want an AK with an unusual artwork for CS2, without paying extra for a clean body.


• the low price matters: Battle-Scarred sits right next to Field-Tested.


• you want an expressive beat-up look on a dark base.

Closer to 0.45 the artwork is better preserved, while at 0.65 there are noticeably more scuffs.
