Souvenir SSG 08 | Lichen Dashed (Factory New)

Skin overview

SSG 08 | Lichen Dashed is a Consumer Grade sniper rifle finish with green and olive paint laid in short dashes, as if sprayed through strips of tape. In Factory New the dashes keep crisp edges and the layered greens look fresh and even across the receiver, scope and stock. It is the cleanest way to see the stencil pattern as it was intended.

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.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver, handguard, scope, pistol grip and skeleton stock are covered in an olive base with short dark green and lighter green dashes, plus a few greyish patches that give a lichen-like texture. The long barrel and muzzle brake stay in dark grey metal, and the bipod legs are mostly grey with some camouflage on the mount.

The paint is intact on every coated part, with sharp dash edges and no exposed metal. The scope, handguard and stock look uniformly green. In game at normal distance the rifle reads as a clean, solid camouflage. Only the dark barrel stands apart, as it does in every wear.

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

Olive, khaki, black and muted green stickers blend with the camouflage, while a single orange or yellow sticker gives a clear accent. Placements on the flat sides of the handguard and receiver show up best against the dashed pattern.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show less chipping on the scope and stock.
• Look at the scope rings and handguard edges in the inspect view, as these lose paint first.
• Check whether the copy is a Souvenir and whether its stickers suit you, because they come already applied.
• Look at any stickers or name tag on regular copies, since they affect the look more than the simple pattern does.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Players who want the camouflage fully intact on the scope and stock.
• Collectors completing clean sets of simple finishes.
• Sticker crafters who need an even green background.
• In short: the cleanest version of a modest camouflage.
