StatTrak™ SG 553 | Phantom (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Phantom is built on contrast between dark grey surfaces and narrow orange lines, so its character survives moderate wear well. In Field-Tested the edges of the receiver and handguard show lighter scuffs, while the orange accents and woven panels still read clearly. It is a practical middle option for everyday play.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The receiver is painted in dark gunmetal with blue-grey panels and a small light emblem near the magazine well. The handguard and magazine carry a fine woven, carbon-like texture, with thin orange stripes running along the handguard rail and outlining the magazine edges.

Lighter scuffs spread along the rail, the handguard edges and the front of the receiver. The magazine edges start to show small marks. In game the wear reads as slight graininess, while the colour scheme stays clear. The stock surfaces and the central panels remain mostly clean.

Stickers and crafts

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade look noticeably better.
• Inspect the top rail, muzzle and magazine edges, as these parts lose paint first.
• Make sure the orange lines along the handguard are unbroken if you want a clean look.
• Look at applied stickers and the name tag, as they can add value or clash with the colour scheme.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who use the SG 553 regularly and want a tidy look.
• Buyers who like the colour scheme and do not mind light scuffs.
• Conclusion: a practical everyday option.
