Sawed-Off | Analog Input (Battle-Scarred)

Battle-Scarred (BS) on the Sawed-Off | Analog Input runs right up to the skin's ceiling of 0.62, and the band here is 0.45 to 0.62. It is a Restricted skin from The Kilowatt Collection, found in the Kilowatt Case. This wear gives the most scuffed copy, and also the cheapest.

What the Sawed-Off | Analog Input looks like in Battle-Scarred

A black shotgun with red accents: the barrel, forend and stock are matte with a fine texture, and the caps at the muzzle and front ends are red. In the middle of the receiver lie diagonal stripes of yellow, green, blue and red, with the letters X, Y, B and A, as on gamepad buttons. The stripes carry the whole design; the rest is dark and plain.

In Battle-Scarred the wear works along the stripes and the red details, which lose saturation. The wear is fixed at drop.

What to check before buying

Before buying the Sawed-Off | Analog Input, check the following:

• float: values here run from 0.45 to 0.62;


• whether the Sawed-Off | Analog Input carries stickers and a name tag.

The Sawed-Off | Analog Input has no pattern variants, so there is nothing to choose by. The 0.45 to 0.62 band is long, and the copies at either end differ noticeably.

What the Sawed-Off | Analog Input costs in Battle-Scarred

No other wear of this finish costs less. Factory New is dearer by more than a factor of three. Minimal Wear is dearer by about one and a half times. Well-Worn is dearer by almost two, while Field-Tested costs the same.

Getting the Sawed-Off | Analog Input

The Kilowatt Collection came out on February 6, 2024, and the Sawed-Off | Analog Input has been part of it since release, dropping from the Kilowatt Case. The other route is a trade-up contract: ten skins of the rank below go in, from anywhere, and the result is taken from the collection of one of them.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The Sawed-Off | Analog Input has a StatTrak version. There is no Souvenir version of the finish.

Stickers and craft on the Sawed-Off | Analog Input

The base is black, so almost any sticker reads. Red ones repeat the muzzle cap, white and silver ones add contrast, and multicolored ones argue with the four stripes in the center. On a CS2 Sawed-Off it is better to stop at one or two restrained marks.

Who this wear suits

Battle-Scarred on the Sawed-Off | Analog Input is the right pick if any one of these fits:

• you want the gamepad stripes at the lowest price;


• price matters more than clean paint;


• the shotgun is a carrier for stickers, not a collectible.

If the wear bothers you, the nearest step up is Minimal Wear, which is dearer by a factor of one and a half.
