SSG 08 | Parallax (Factory New)

Skin overview

SSG 08 | Parallax is a dark custom paint job covered in small red and cyan marks set slightly apart, which gives the rifle a shifted, double-image look. Grey-white stripes run across the stock and stand out against the near-black base. In Factory New the fine marks keep sharp edges and the stripes stay crisp, so the offset effect reads clearly.

Item type: sniper rifle. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

Appearance in Factory New

The barrel, receiver and handguard are finished in near-black with small red and cyan marks placed slightly out of line, which creates the offset, double-image effect. The receiver side carries white inserts and small light markings that break up the dark surface. The stock is covered in grey-white stripes over the dark base, and the rear of the stock has a panel with red and white details. The scope and bipod stay plain black. On worn copies the muzzle, barrel edges, stock edges and the light stripes lose paint first, while flat dark areas hold up longer.

The paint is intact on every part, including the muzzle and stock edges. The red and cyan marks keep clean, sharp outlines, and the stock stripes have full contrast. In game the offset scatter is clearly visible on the barrel. Nothing on the rifle looks used.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, because the light stock stripes show scuffing earlier than the dark base.
• Inspect the muzzle and barrel edges, as these lose paint first.
• Look at the stock in inspect mode to see how much contrast the stripes have kept.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they suit the red and cyan scheme.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the offset scatter and stock stripes in their sharpest form.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for a red, cyan or white craft.
• The grade for buyers who want the pattern without any compromise.
