Souvenir SG 553 | Basket Halftone (Factory New)

Skin overview

SG 553 | Basket Halftone covers the rifle in a burnt orange coat crossed by a thin dark grid that resembles basket weave. In Factory New the halftone dots and the hatching stay crisp, and the orange reads evenly from muzzle to stock. This is the grade where the pattern looks exactly as designed.

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.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The whole SG 553 is painted in burnt orange with a dark halftone and crosshatch grid running over the receiver, barrel and handguard like a woven basket. The rail covers on the handguard, the lower part of the pistol grip and the ribbed butt pad stay black and frame the orange areas.

The orange coat is intact on every part, and the dark grid lines stay sharp. The scope, magazine and rail edges show no scratches. In game the rifle reads as a bright, uniform orange with fine texture.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Black, white and dark brown stickers sit well on the orange grid and echo the black rail covers. Orange and gold stickers blend into the pattern for a monochrome craft. Placing them on the flat side of the receiver keeps them visible against the halftone.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade look noticeably fresher.
• Look at the rail edges, magazine and scope rings, which lose paint first.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers that change the overall look of the orange finish.
• Check any applied stickers or name tag, as they affect how the rifle looks in your hands.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the halftone and grid exactly as designed.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean orange base.
• The choice for buyers who value a flawless finish.
