Souvenir SG 553 | Dragon Tech (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Dragon Tech turns the SG 553 into a green, scaled creature with a mechanical feel, set against dark metal parts. In Field-Tested the paint begins to thin on edges and protruding details, while the dragon pattern on the larger surfaces stays readable. From a normal viewing distance the rifle still clearly shows its green-and-black scheme.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The receiver and handguard are covered in teal and emerald scales mixed with mechanical plates, while the rail tops and some edges stay dark gunmetal. A thin red line runs along the lower edge of the handguard, adding a warm accent to the green scheme.

Wear becomes visible on the muzzle, handguard ribs, scope housing and the edges of the magazine. Small patches of dark metal show through the green scales. In game the rifle still reads as green with a clear pattern. The flat sides of the receiver and stock remain mostly clean.

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

Green, teal and black stickers blend with the dragon scales, while red or gold ones echo the handguard accent. Holo or foil stickers in cool tones fit the mechanical theme. Placing them on the receiver keeps the magazine pattern open.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the edges of the handguard and magazine show the difference most.
• Inspect the muzzle and scope housing, as they lose paint first.
• Look at applied stickers and their placement against the green pattern.
• Check whether a name tag is applied and if it suits you.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want the green dragon look in matches.
• Buyers who accept visible edge wear in exchange for a lower grade.
• A practical everyday version of the skin.
