SCAR-20 | Powercore

Origin Story

The SCAR-20 | Powercore, released on August 19, 2016, as part of The Gamma 2 Collection alongside the Double Exposure update, features a custom paint job. Its design is characterized by a bright green base with yellow accents, including a USB code integrated into the weapon's finish for quick checkout. The skin's flavor text, "Rule No. 1 - Challenge demands satisfaction," hints at its aggressive visual style.

Drop Chance

SCAR-20 | Powercore is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Gamma 2 Case: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Gamma 2 Case (about 1 in 313). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The green and yellow custom paint is fully intact, showcasing the Gunsmith finish's dynamic lighting effects.
• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): Minor scuffs begin to appear on the weapon's edges, but the custom paint remains clear.
• Field-Tested (No Recent Price): Noticeable wear appears on prominent surfaces, with some dulling of the finish, though the overall design is still distinct.
• Well-Worn ($1.34): Significant abrasion covers much of the weapon, reducing the vibrancy of the green and yellow elements.
• Battle-Scarred ($1.61): Heavy wear and discoloration obscure large portions of the design, with the Gunsmith finish showing substantial degradation.

Model

Powercore uses the legacy SCAR-20 model, introduced with Double Exposure on August 19, 2016. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
