Five-SeveN | Angry Mob (Battle-Scarred)

The Five-SeveN | Angry Mob in Battle-Scarred (BS) has a float from 0.45 to 0.70. The figure 0.70 is the ceiling of the skin's whole scale, so the most beaten copies, as on skins with a full scale, do not exist here. It is Covert rank and comes from The Prisma Collection and the Prisma Case.

What the Five-SeveN | Angry Mob looks like in Battle-Scarred

The slide is turquoise-blue, crossed by white zigzags that look like lightning and thin red flourishes, with a large orange circle laid over it. On the grip, cartoon faces with open mouths come in green, violet, yellow and orange. The bottom of the grip is bright lime, and the rail and the trigger guard are orange-brown.

Paint covers the slide, the frame and the grip almost entirely, and wear here reads as scratches and scuffing on the edges. The look changes along the band: toward 0.70 there are more scuffs than at 0.45.

Where the Five-SeveN | Angry Mob came from

Valve describes the paint job as bright and inspired by street art, and the caption for the skin is "Inside voices, please". No Workshop submission for this finish turned up in the data, so nothing is said here about its author. The Prisma Collection came out in March 2019, and the finish has been in it from the start.

What to check before buying

Several points are worth checking before you buy:

• float: the 0.45 to 0.70 stretch is long, so comparing a few listings makes sense;


• stickers and a name tag the pistol got from a previous owner;


• edition: a StatTrak™ listing is a separate item.

The artwork is applied the same way across the whole run, so there is no pattern to choose by.

What the Five-SeveN | Angry Mob costs in Battle-Scarred

This is the lowest wear of the finish, and the spread across wears is not wide:

• Well-Worn costs 1.05 times more;


• Field-Tested costs 1.06 times more;


• Minimal Wear costs 1.12 times as much;


• Factory New costs 1.34 times more.

The Covert Five-SeveNs make a row of two. In this wear Five-SeveN | Hyper Beast costs about four and a half times as much as Angry Mob, which makes Angry Mob the cheaper of the pair.

Getting the Five-SeveN | Angry Mob

It drops from the Prisma Case. Trading up works as well: ten Classified skins of this collection (AUG | Momentum, R8 Revolver | Skull Crusher, XM1014 | Incinegator) give one Covert skin. If you build the ten from The Prisma Collection, the result comes from there as well, and since the collection holds two Covert skins, the chance is one in two.

The finish itself can go into a craft: five Covert skins can produce a knife with the ★ mark. Four knives are possible from this collection, namely the Navaja, Stiletto, Talon and Ursus.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The Five-SeveN | Angry Mob has a StatTrak™ version. There are no Souvenir packages for the skin.

Stickers and craft on the Five-SeveN | Angry Mob

The background is busy: the orange circle, the white lightning and the faces fill nearly everything. A small sticker gets lost here, while a large one with a clear outline reads. There is little free room on the slide, and every sticker covers part of the artwork.

Who this wear suits

Battle-Scarred is worth buying for three reasons:

• you want a bright Five-SeveN for CS2 with the lowest entry point into the finish;


• neighboring wears differ little in price, so the saving is small, and Battle-Scarred is bought for the lowest entry rather than for value;


• the grip with its faces stays recognizable even under heavy wear.
