SCAR-20 | Zinc

Origin Story

The SCAR-20 | Zinc, released on January 22, 2026, is part of The Achroma Collection. This skin features a grayscale pattern applied across the weapon, consistent with its in-game description. Its neutral, monochrome appearance covers the weapon body in tones of black, white, and grey. The finish style is Spray-Paint, which applies a stenciled or sprayed pattern without pattern index variability. The skin's flavor text, "A ripple in time," hints at its understated aesthetic.

Drop Chance

SCAR-20 | Zinc is Consumer Grade, the most common drop tier in CS2. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Achroma Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Consumer Grade drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 7 other Consumer Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.
