USP-S | Ticket to Hell in Battle-Scarred (BS): the most worn USP-S of the skin's five wears. The float for this wear is 0.45 to 0.76. The scale is cut off by the skin's ceiling, and Battle-Scarred takes up 41% of the range. Restricted rank, from the Dreams & Nightmares Collection.

What the USP-S | Ticket to Hell looks like in Battle-Scarred

The base is unchanged: a black body and white print, with no other colors. DEAD SILENCE is set large on the suppressor and TICKET TO HELL is boxed on the slide. A row of teeth sits at the tail of the slide and a round emblem on the grip.

Battle-Scarred normally stretches to 1.00, but this skin's scale ends at 0.76. Within 0.45 to 0.76 copies differ noticeably: near the lower edge the print still reads, while near the top the edges are worn away more. The large lettering and the flat planes of the slide hold up best. The wear is set at drop.

Where the USP-S | Ticket to Hell came from

StatTrak and Souvenir

The USP-S | Ticket to Hell has a StatTrak version. Souvenir copies of the skin exist as well, though no Souvenir Packages were released for it, since those were made only for tournament map collections. Such copies are built through the Souvenir-O-Matic, which puts gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on an ordinary skin from your inventory.

Stickers and craft on the USP-S | Ticket to Hell

In a worn wear the print is uneven, and a sticker reads as one more layer. High-contrast stickers give the cleanest result on black, and dark ones do not read at all. The price of this wear means you need not spare the skin when it is headed for a craft.

Who this wear suits

Buying the USP-S | Ticket to Hell in Battle-Scarred is right if at least one of these applies:

• you want the cheapest USP with this artwork for CS2;


• you need a base for stickers and do not care about the print;


• the scale up to 0.76 gives room to choose, and in CS2 you can look for a copy closer to 0.45.

The small technical lines read worst at this wear. For them, Factory New is the closer fit.
