SSG 08 | Green Ceramic (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

SSG 08 | Green Ceramic is built on plain shades of green, and in Battle-Scarred that paint is heavily chipped. Bare metal shows across the handguard, scope and stock, giving a rough, field-worn rifle. It is the cheapest way to get the green scheme and suits players who like a beaten look.

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.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

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.

Heavy chipping covers the handguard, receiver, scope and stock, with large areas of bare metal. The grip and butt pad lose much of their sage tone. In game the rifle looks rough and patchy, though the green base is still recognisable. Little of the finish remains fully clean.
