The USP-S | Cortex (Battle-Scarred) is like that one friend who’s been through a warzone but still shows up to the party. Its cybernetic circuit-board design is barely holding on under layers of scratches and grime, giving it that “I’ve seen things” aesthetic. The Battle-Scarred wear turns its neon accents into a flickering glow, like a dying robot’s last plea for WD-40. Sure, it’s rough around the edges, but that’s part of its charm—like duct-taped body armor. Perfect for players who want their sidearm to scream, “I didn’t buy this skin; I earned it… by losing too many rounds.” Just don’t ask what happened to the previous owner.
