Souvenir SSG 08 | Tiger Tear (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Tiger Tear is recognisable by its muted olive-and-tan stripe camo that keeps the SSG 08 looking like a field rifle rather than a showpiece. In Field-Tested the stripes are still clearly visible, while scuffs appear on the scope rims, handguard edges and stock corners. The light wear suits the camouflage theme and does not break the overall pattern.

Item type: sniper rifle. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

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

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The receiver, handguard, scope body and stock are covered in a dark olive base with pale beige tiger stripes that look torn and uneven. The barrel, muzzle brake and bipod stay in plain dark metal, which frames the camo and keeps the rifle looking utilitarian.

Scuffs become visible on the scope rims, handguard edges and stock corners, and some stripes look slightly faded there. The receiver sides and the grip still hold most of the print. In game the rifle reads as clearly striped camo with a lightly used look. The main body of the stock and receiver still look mostly clean.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the cleaner end show fewer marks on the scope.
• Look at the scope rims and the handguard tip first, as they lose the print before other parts.
• On Souvenir copies, check the stickers and their placement, as they shape the overall look.
• Check whether a name tag is applied and whether it fits your taste.
