The M9 Bayonet | Lore (Battle-Scarred) is like that grizzled war veteran who’s seen too much but still radiates menace. Its once-vibrant green and gold dragon-scale pattern now looks like it’s been dragged through Chernobyl, with scratches and rust telling tales of countless failed clutches. The blade’s "battle scars" might as well be a metaphor for your ranked matches—rough, chaotic, but oddly charming. Sure, it’s not the shiny showstopper from a case opening highlight reel, but that’s the point. This knife isn’t for flexing pristine pixels; it’s for players who unironically say, “I main Dust II” and wear their in-game trauma like a badge of honor. Embrace the grind, or at least pretend to.
