UMP-45 | Continuum (Battle-Scarred)

The UMP-45 | Continuum in Battle-Scarred (BS) has a float from 0.45 to 1.00, taking 55% of the scale. It is Restricted, belongs to The Genesis Collection and is obtained from the Sealed Genesis Terminal. In Battle-Scarred it is the cheapest of seven Restricted UMP-45 skins.

What the UMP-45 | Continuum looks like in Battle-Scarred

Blue and teal-green make up the body, and black concentric lines radiate over it in the shape of a funnel. The funnel is centered on the receiver side, above the trigger guard. The stock is blue, with light blue inserts by its openings. The front grip and the base of the magazine are silvery-gray bare metal, while the top cover, the rail and the fire group are dark gray. The nested arcs recall a topographic pattern. No figures or lettering appear.

The lines of the pattern are thin. Receiver edges, magazine corners and the stock frame around its holes are where they tear first in Battle-Scarred. In the middle of the side the funnel holds longer, but once the paint is worn down to pale metal, the drawing breaks off. The wear was set at the drop and does not change.

Where the UMP-45 | Continuum came from

The author of the finish is cimota. The Workshop submission was titled "UMP-45 | ILLUMINA v2" and went up on October 23, 2023. In one line the author sums up the idea: firing makes the surface of the weapon throw back a bright, hypnotic flash of light. The Genesis Collection was added to the game on September 16, 2025, with the UMP-45 | Continuum arriving in the same update. Its number in Valve's catalog is 1351.

What to check before buying

When choosing a UMP-45 | Continuum listing, this is what counts:

• float between 0.45 and 1.00: nearer 1.00, the funnel lines show more breaks;


• how well the funnel on the side of the receiver has survived;


• any stickers and name tag, which transfer with the UMP-45 | Continuum listing.

Choose with care inside the 0.45 to 1.00 band, because the difference between its top and bottom shows. The artwork does not change from one copy to the next.

What the UMP-45 | Continuum costs in Battle-Scarred

Factory New costs seven and a half times as much, and Minimal Wear a little over three times. Field-Tested is one and a half times as much, and Well-Worn a third and a bit more. Battle-Scarred is the lowest-priced wear.

Among seven Restricted UMP-45 skins in this wear, the Continuum is the lowest. Above it are UMP-45 | Arctic Wolf and UMP-45 | Plastique, then UMP-45 | Exposure and UMP-45 | Scaffold, with UMP-45 | Gold Bismuth at the top of the row.

Getting the UMP-45 | Continuum

The Sealed Genesis Terminal is the source. To trade up for the UMP-45 | Continuum, you put in ten Mil-Spec skins, from whichever collections the player picks. If all ten come from Genesis, the chance of this SMG is one in five Restricted finishes.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The UMP-45 | Continuum has a StatTrak version. There is no Souvenir version of this finish.

Stickers and craft on the UMP-45 | Continuum

The silvery-gray front grip and magazine base are bare metal with no artwork, and a sticker reads most easily there. On the funnel on the side the lines and a sticker fight each other. In CS2 a Battle-Scarred craft is best led by the stock with its light blue inserts, though the edges are already rubbed.

Who this wear suits

Battle-Scarred makes sense on the UMP-45 | Continuum when:

• you want a Restricted SMG at the bottom of the row;


• the funnel on the side matters more than the edges;


• you want an input for a CS2 trade-up.
