Souvenir SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader (Factory New)

Skin overview

SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader is a Restricted Gunsmith finish that pairs white panels with dark parts and arctic blue accents. In Factory New the white sections stay crisp and the frosted blue texture on the barrel, grip and cheek rest keeps its full contrast. This is the grade where the cold colour scheme reads exactly as intended.

Item type: sniper rifle. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Other 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 receiver is dark with white inserts, including a ribbed white section on the handguard and a white panel near the bolt, plus a small red accent on the side. The long barrel carries a frosted, marbled blue texture that ends at a white muzzle brake, and the bipod legs share the same icy blue finish.

The finish is intact on every part, with clean white panels and a full, even blue texture. The muzzle brake and handguard ribs show no chipping. At normal distance the rifle looks bright and sharply contrasted against the dark receiver.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader is 0–1; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (7% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Chroma 3 Collection with 17 skins in total.

It drops from Chroma 3 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

White, silver, ice blue and holographic stickers match the cold palette, and a single red accent can echo the small red mark on the receiver. Placements on the white handguard section or the dark receiver give the clearest contrast.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since the white panels show grey scuffs earlier than the dark parts.
• Inspect the muzzle brake and handguard ribs, as these are the first places to lose paint.
• Look at the grip and cheek rest to see how much of the blue texture is intact.
• On StatTrak™ or Souvenir copies, check the stickers and any name tag for how they fit the white and blue scheme.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the white panels and blue texture without any marks.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for a white and blue theme.
• The pick for anyone who values the full, untouched look.
