G3SG1 | Чёрный песок

Origin Story

The G3SG1 Black Sand, released on November 19, 2019, as part of Operation Shattered Web, features a tan and black military camouflage pattern. Its design gives the auto-sniper a rugged, field-ready appearance, consistent with the "aggressive approach" mentioned in its flavor text. This skin is a common, budget-friendly option for players who prefer a utilitarian aesthetic for their G3SG1. It remains a functional choice for those seeking a military-themed loadout.

Drop Chance

G3SG1 | Black Sand is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Shattered Web Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Shattered Web Case (about 1 in 88). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.
