Souvenir SSG 08 | Dragonfire (Factory New)

Skin overview

SSG 08 | Dragonfire is a Covert sniper rifle skin with a hydrographic of a fire-breathing dragon. Flame orange and red run from the handguard into dark teal scales along the body and stock. In Factory New the gradient stays fully saturated and every scale line is sharp, so the artwork reads exactly as designed.

Item type: sniper rifle. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The handguard is painted in a bright orange-to-red flame gradient with glowing slots along its side, and a dark dragon head with bared teeth sits near the scope mount. Behind it the receiver, grip and stock are covered in dark teal and black scales lit by orange highlights, with bone-coloured details on the grip and stock.

The flame gradient, the dragon head and the scale pattern are fully intact. Edges of the handguard and stock show no scratches. In game the orange front looks bright and even from the first-person view. Everything from barrel to stock end reads clean.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The float of Souvenir SSG 08 | Dragonfire ranges from 0 to 0.5; the Factory New quality covers 0–0.07 — 14% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The Glove Collection with 17 skins in total.

It drops from Glove Case.

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.

Which stickers suit it

Red, orange and gold stickers continue the flame theme of the handguard. Dark or teal stickers blend into the scaled body, while holographic or foil ones placed along the receiver catch the orange highlights. Avoid covering the dragon head near the scope mount.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since a low value in a grade keeps the orange front noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the edges of the handguard and the corners of the stock, as they lose paint first.
• Look at the dragon head near the scope mount, the part buyers notice most.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, as they change both the look and the value to other buyers.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the dragon artwork at full brightness.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for an expensive combination.
• Conclusion: the reference look of the skin with no compromises.
