Dual Berettas | Melondrama (Battle-Scarred)

The Dual Berettas | Melondrama in Battle-Scarred (BS) is a pair of watermelon pistols on a dark blue field in CS2. It is Classified rank and belongs to the Dreams & Nightmares Collection. This wear carries a float of 0.45 to 1.00, which is more than half of the finish's 0.00 to 1.00 scale.

What the Dual Berettas | Melondrama looks like in Battle-Scarred

The field is dark blue, and each slide carries a cut watermelon: red flesh, green rind, and a snarling mouth with bulging eyes. Teal lettering in the manner of graffiti runs around it, together with stars, gold zigzags and dots. The grips are red, with grooves along the lower edge. Valve describes the painting as a twisted, frightening watermelon on a dark blue field.

In Battle-Scarred the paint is rubbed off along the edges and corners of the slides, and pale metal stands out at once against the dark blue. The degree of wear is set at the drop, and the pistols do not change afterward. The Dual Berettas | Melondrama has a fixed pattern, so its price does not depend on pattern.

Where the Dual Berettas | Melondrama came from

The Dual Berettas | Melondrama appeared on January 21, 2022, when the Dreams & Nightmares Collection was added to the game. For the case Valve gathered 17 finishes selected from the Steam Workshop.

What to check before buying

Picking a copy of the Dual Berettas | Melondrama rests on these points:

• float: the difference that justifies comparing several listings fits between 0.45 and 1.00;


• the stickers and name tag already on that particular copy of the Dual Berettas | Melondrama;


• the pattern is identical on every copy, so there is nothing to compare by the picture.

Getting the Dual Berettas | Melondrama

A second route to it is a trade-up: hand in ten skins of the rank below from the same collection. The finish also works as an input: ten Classified skins from the collection yield one Covert.

StatTrak and Souvenir

A StatTrak version of the Dual Berettas | Melondrama exists. No Souvenir packages were ever issued for this finish; those were made only for tournament map collections. You can still build a souvenir copy yourself: the Souvenir-O-Matic applies gold tournament stickers and a player autograph to an ordinary skin from your inventory.

Stickers and craft on the Dual Berettas | Melondrama

The snarling watermelon fills the slides, so the stickers are left with the dark blue areas by the frame and the red grips. White and yellow stickers read clearly against the blue. Red ones get lost on the red flesh and grips, while teal ones echo the color of the lettering.

Who this wear suits

Buying the Dual Berettas | Melondrama in Battle-Scarred is right if at least one of these fits:

• you want a bright Classified pistol at the lowest price of the five wears;


• scuffs on the slides do not bother you, and the pair goes into CS2 matches for its color;


• you choose by the float number rather than the wear label: copies near 0.45 are cleaner.
