SG 553 | Старина Ржавчик

Origin Story

The SG 553 | Ol' Rusty, released on August 7, 2020, as part of The Fracture Collection, transforms the rifle's appearance from polished steel to a heavily oxidized state. Its in-game description notes that "moisture has changed this weapon's appearance," with "Ol' Rusty" stamped above the trigger casing. This Gunsmith finish emphasizes material realism, showcasing a weathered, corroded look with muted brown-orange rust and darkened steel. The skin is largely considered a budget-friendly option for players seeking a distinctive, industrial aesthetic for their SG 553.

Drop Chance

SG 553 | Ol' Rusty is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Fracture 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 Fracture 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.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.7. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($0.61): The rust effect is sharply defined with clear contrast between the corroded sections and the underlying polished steel; edges are intact with minimal micro-scratching.
• Minimal Wear ($0.20): Rust and metal textures remain very close to Factory New, with minor softening of edges and early wear appearing on high-contact spots like the front handguard and magazine edges.
• Field-Tested ($0.10): Noticeably more surface scratches and dulling appear, with rust patches looking more blended and less crisp, and more of the underlying darker steel peeking through on edges and corners.
• Well-Worn ($0.12): Broad areas of the model show heavier scratching and exposed steel, with rust and finish details more faded; the gun may look more uniformly dark or scraped.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.11): Large portions of the finish appear heavily worn down, showing extensive dark steel and significantly faded rust; fine detailing and the "Ol' Rusty" stamping may be less crisp but still readable.

Model

Ol' Rusty uses the legacy SG 553 model, introduced with On the Case on August 7, 2020. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Its dominant colors are muted brown-orange rust, darkened steel, and patches of exposed metallic. The mid-receiver and handguard area show the heaviest rusting and discoloration, with the "Ol' Rusty" stamping visible near the trigger region during inspection.
