Souvenir SSG 08 | Green Ceramic (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

SSG 08 | Green Ceramic is built on plain shades of green, and in Battle-Scarred that paint is heavily chipped. Bare metal shows across the handguard, scope and stock, giving a rough, field-worn rifle. It is the cheapest way to get the green scheme and suits players who like a beaten look.

Item type: sniper rifle. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver and long handguard with its cut-outs and top rail are painted medium green, while the stock frame takes a slightly darker green. The scope tube and its rings are olive and khaki, and the pistol grip, cheek rest and butt pad are a pale sage tone.

Heavy chipping covers the handguard, receiver, scope and stock, with large areas of bare metal. The grip and butt pad lose much of their sage tone. In game the rifle looks rough and patchy, though the green base is still recognisable. Little of the finish remains fully clean.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.75

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

Gold, cream and earthy brown stickers sit well against the green handguard and keep the calm military feel. Placements on the flat sides of the handguard and receiver are most visible. Bright red or orange accents give a strong contrast for those who want a bolder craft.

What to look at before you buy

• Since the finish has no pattern, the float value is the main thing that separates one copy from another.
• Look at the handguard edges, the top rail and the scope bells, as these chip first.
• On Souvenir copies check the applied stickers, since they change the look of the plain green body.
• A name tag can add character to such a simple finish, so check whether one is present.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players who enjoy a rough, heavily chipped finish.
