SSG 08 | Lichen Dashed (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

SSG 08 | Lichen Dashed in Battle-Scarred keeps the idea of a dashed green camouflage, but much of the paint has worn through. Large grey metal areas sit between the remaining olive and green strokes, especially on edges and raised parts. The result is a heavily weathered rifle, which fits the improvised spray-paint finish better than many polished skins would.

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.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver, handguard, scope, pistol grip and skeleton stock are covered in an olive base with short dark green and lighter green dashes, plus a few greyish patches that give a lichen-like texture. The long barrel and muzzle brake stay in dark grey metal, and the bipod legs are mostly grey with some camouflage on the mount.

Large areas of bare metal cover the scope, handguard edges, stock and grip, leaving the camouflage in scattered patches. The olive base and green dashes survive mainly on the receiver and handguard sides. In game the rifle reads as grey-green and heavily used. The overall dashed idea is still recognisable up close.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show less chipping on the scope and stock.
• Look at the scope rings and handguard edges in the inspect view, as these lose paint first.
• Check whether the copy is a Souvenir and whether its stickers suit you, because they come already applied.
• Look at any stickers or name tag on regular copies, since they affect the look more than the simple pattern does.
