Souvenir SSG 08 | Green Ceramic (Factory New)

Skin overview

SSG 08 | Green Ceramic is a Consumer Grade sniper rifle finish that paints the weapon in several shades of green with no pattern. In Factory New every tone sits evenly, from the medium green of the handguard to the sage grip and cheek rest. It is the cleanest way to own this simple, calm colour scheme.

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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

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.

The paint is intact on every part, with even green on the handguard and receiver. The scope, grip and cheek rest keep their clean olive and sage tones. In game the rifle reads as smooth and uniform. Nothing on the weapon shows bare metal.

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 Factory New quality suits

• Players who want the green tones completely clean.
• Collectors completing sets in the best condition.
• Conclusion: the tidiest version of a simple finish.
