SG 553 | Traveler (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Traveler is built on contrast between a striped tan receiver and plain grey hardware, with brown leather wrapped around the grip and butt pad. In Field-Tested the brown panel starts to show scuffs at its edges, which suits the idea of a well-used travel case. From normal distance the striped section and leather still read clearly.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The receiver, upper and magazine well are painted tan-ochre with thin darker vertical stripes, imitating a vintage suitcase panel. The barrel, railed handguard and front sight stay in grey gunmetal, with a small piece of brown leather wrapped near the front sight.

Scratches spread along the edges of the tan receiver and around the magazine well, breaking the stripes in a few spots. The leather grip shows lighter rubbed areas and the magazine edges show metal. In game the brown-and-grey layout reads clearly, with wear visible on the weapon in first person. The barrel, rails and stock still look largely clean.
