Souvenir SSG 08 | Threat Detected (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

This is the most weathered version of the orange drone-map finish. In Battle-Scarred large areas of paint are gone from edges and raised parts, and the fine contour lines blur into the exposed metal, though the orange body still dominates the silhouette. It is the cheapest way to carry the Threat Detected colours.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver, handguard, pistol grip and stock are painted orange with a map texture of thin dark contour lines, lighter streaks and small cyan HUD markings. The handguard keeps its black slots and top rail, which frame the orange panels.

Large patches of paint are gone from all edges and raised parts, including the scope, the grip and the stock outline. The map detail and HUD marks are partly lost in the worn areas. Only the flatter middle panels keep a solid orange, which still carries the overall colour at a distance.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.65

The float of Souvenir SSG 08 | Threat Detected ranges from 0 to 0.65; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–0.65 — 31% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The Control Collection with 19 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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

Stickers in orange, white, black or cyan tie in with the map and HUD theme. Placements on the dark handguard area near the rail or on the receiver side keep the main pattern readable.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within its wear range, since the low end of a grade looks noticeably cleaner on the scope and handguard.
• Look at the handguard edges, the scope turrets and the grip first, as these lose paint before anything else.
• If it is a Souvenir copy, make sure the pre-applied stickers suit the orange artwork.
• Check any stickers or name tag on the listing so you know what you are paying for.
