SSG 08 | Green Ceramic (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Green Ceramic turns the SSG 08 into a field-coloured rifle made of layered greens. In Field-Tested the paint starts to chip along edges, which gives the plain finish a used, working look. For a solid-colour skin this wear often reads as natural rather than damaged.

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, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

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.

Chips become visible along the handguard edges, the rail and the scope bells. The grip and the corners of the stock frame start to show light scuffs. In game the wear is noticeable on the handguard but the overall green scheme stays intact. The flat sides of the receiver and stock are still mostly clean.

• Look at the handguard edges, the top rail and the scope bells, as these chip first.
• On Souvenir copies check the applied stickers, since they change the look of the plain green body.
• A name tag can add character to such a simple finish, so check whether one is present.
