SG 553 | Traveler (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

On a Well-Worn copy the vintage luggage theme of Traveler becomes literal: the tan receiver looks rubbed through in places and the leather parts lose their even tone. The grey rail section and stock change little, since they were plain to begin with. The skin keeps its recognisable brown-and-grey split even with noticeable wear.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Well-Worn

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.

Larger areas of the tan paint are rubbed away, and the stripes become uneven across the receiver. The leather grip and butt pad look faded and scuffed, and the magazine shows clear metal patches. In game the wear is obvious in first person, though the skin remains recognisable. The grey handguard and stock carry only light marks.
