UMP-45 | Scaffold

Origin Story

The UMP-45 | Scaffold, released on March 16, 2017, as part of The Spectrum Collection, features a hand-painted teal design with a convincing depth effect. Its geometric, layered motif combines teal, white, and dark gray elements to create an architectural, scaffold-like appearance. This Restricted skin is often grouped with other clean, technical UMP options, offering a modern look. The Spectrum Case, from which it originates, is no longer in the Prime Active drop pool, making the skin a product of a legacy collection.

Drop Chance

UMP-45 | Scaffold is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Spectrum 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 Spectrum 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 ($9.72): The teal and white geometric structures are clean, bright, and fully intact, preserving the intended 3D depth illusion with sharp edges.
• Minimal Wear ($3.54): Only minor edge wear and micro-scratches appear on the barrel tip and magazine lip, with the overall "freshness" of the teal and white lines remaining high.
• Field-Tested ($1.86): Visible scuffing begins to appear around the front and top of the weapon, and the teal may look slightly washed, reducing the crispness of the depth effect.
• Well-Worn ($1.75): Heavier, patchy wear is evident with larger chipped areas on the barrel and mag edges, causing the teal and white layers to lose vibrancy and appear mottled.
• Battle-Scarred ($1.74): Significant edge wear, heavy scuffing, and a generally weathered, dirty look obscure much of the intricate depth pattern, making the gun appear utilitarian.

Model

Scaffold uses the legacy UMP-45 model, introduced with Take a trip to the Canals on March 16, 2017. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Visual Theme

Gunsmith: It has been hand painted teal and given a convincing depth effect. The dominant colors are teal, white, and dark gray, arranged in a geometric, layered "scaffold" motif. In first-person view, the most visible elements are the teal and white geometric structures along the main body and magazine, alongside darker structural lines that create a 3D depth illusion. Community and catalog sites classify it under Gunsmith finishes, with a look often compared broadly to other technical or architectural designs.

Sticker Compatibility

The UMP-45 | Scaffold's teal, white, and dark gray color scheme pairs well with blue, teal, or cyan-themed stickers, as well as white, gray, or black designs that complement its geometric aesthetic. Metallic holo stickers with blue-to-teal shifts can also echo the skin's primary color. While it is generally treated as a mid-tier UMP skin, there is no strong community reputation as a famous craft base.
