SSG 08 | Threat Detected (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The orange map finish with HUD details remains recognisable even when the paint starts to go. In Well-Worn the edges of the handguard, scope and grip show clear patches of dark metal, which gives the rifle a used field-equipment look. It suits buyers who like the theme and do not mind visible wear.

Item type: sniper rifle. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The receiver, handguard, pistol grip and stock are painted orange with a map texture of thin dark contour lines, lighter streaks and small cyan HUD markings. The handguard keeps its black slots and top rail, which frame the orange panels.

Dark metal shows clearly on the handguard edges, the scope, the front of the grip and the top of the cheek rest. Fine contour lines start to break up around the worn spots. In game the rifle still reads as orange, but the scratches are visible in first person.

What to look at before you buy

• If it is a Souvenir copy, make sure the pre-applied stickers suit the orange artwork.
• Check any stickers or name tag on the listing so you know what you are paying for.
