Souvenir SSG 08 | Necropos (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred SSG 08 | Necropos is the most weathered version: large areas of the base are scraped down to metal and the runes survive only in fragments. The rifle keeps its olive-grey silhouette and a few green marks, which reads as an old, battered weapon. It is the cheapest way to have this finish in the inventory.

Item type: sniper rifle. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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 and Field-Tested. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The barrel is painted in a dusty olive tone, with the muzzle brake, scope and bipod left dark. The receiver and handguard combine olive-grey panels with a finely textured grey section on the lower body.

Large areas of the barrel, receiver and stock are scraped down to metal. The runes remain only as scattered fragments of green. At normal distance the rifle looks grey and battered, with the original olive tone surviving in patches. The dark scope and bipod change the least.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–1

The whole float range of Souvenir SSG 08 | Necropos is 0–1; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–1 segment (55% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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

Green, black and dark olive stickers match the runes and the drab base best. Placing them on the receiver near the rune line keeps the look consistent, while bright warm colours would compete with the green accent.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since the runes on low-float copies of a grade look noticeably better than on high-float ones.
• Look at the green runes in the inspect view, as they are the main detail and lose their outline first on worn copies.
• Inspect the barrel and receiver edges, where paint wears off earliest.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, and whether the copy is StatTrak™.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget entry for anyone who wants this skin in the inventory.
• Players who like heavily battered weapons.
• The cheapest way to own the finish, with the runes reduced to fragments.
