Seems like you didnt inject the right type of dds and it currupted or the image scale wasnt the same as the one you where injectiong over. Also maybe you didnt enable mip maps.

Was it the battle rifle skin? That one is known to corrupt when trying to inject a bitmap overtop of the original

Thats the bump map your seeing. A bump maps is what makes an image look like its pops out or has depth to it. If you change the bump map to something that resembles a sandy texture it should look alot better.
