SCAR-20 | Sand Mesh

Origin Story

The SCAR-20 | Sand Mesh, released on November 27, 2013, as part of the "Out with the old, in with the new" update, emerges from The Dust 2 Collection. This skin features a utilitarian, stencil-driven sand-and-gray camouflage look, achieved by spray-painting using mesh fencing and cardboard cutouts. Its rough industrial feel aligns with the weapon's robust nature. The in-game description notes its creation through stenciled spray-paint, emphasizing its practical, combat-ready appearance. This design choice contributes to its distinctive visual identity within the game.

Drop Chance

SCAR-20 | Sand Mesh is Consumer Grade, the most common drop tier in CS2. It has appeared across 11 tournament packages, most recently the Katowice 2019 Dust II Souvenir Package, London 2018 Dust II Souvenir Package, and MLG Columbus 2016 Dust II Souvenir Package.


Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The Dust 2 Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Consumer Grade skins like Sand Mesh are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 5 other Consumer Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.

Skin Condition

Float range 0.06 to 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($1.10): The sand and gray camouflage pattern, applied with stencils, appears fully intact across the weapon.
• Minimal Wear ($0.06): Minor scuffs and edge wear begin to appear, subtly affecting the stenciled pattern on high-contact areas.
• Field-Tested ($0.03): Noticeable chipping and fading of the spray-painted coverage become visible, particularly on the edges and raised surfaces.
• Well-Worn ($0.03): Significant paint loss occurs, degrading the clarity of the mesh and cardboard stencil patterns, though the overall camouflage remains.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.03): Extensive wear and fading leave large portions of the weapon with heavily degraded paint, revealing more of the underlying material.

Model

Sand Mesh uses the legacy SCAR-20 model, introduced with Out with the old, in with the new on November 27, 2013. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Sticker Compatibility

The muted sand and gray palette of the SCAR-20 | Sand Mesh suggests that neutral, military-style stickers would complement its design well. This skin is available as a Souvenir item.
