SSG 08 | Призрачный фанатик

Origin Story

The SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader, released on April 28, 2016, as part of The Chroma 3 Collection, features a clean white base with arctic blue accents. Its design creates a futuristic and tactical appearance, offering a distinct visual for the SSG 08. The skin is generally regarded as a mid-tier option, appreciated for its clean aesthetic rather than being a high-end collector's item. It serves as a solid choice for players seeking a white and blue themed rifle. The accompanying flavor text, "I can never replace what was taken from us... but I can take even more from them," adds a layer of narrative depth to its origins.

Drop Chance

SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Chroma 3 Case: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Chroma 3 Case (about 1 in 313).

• Well-Worn ($1.52): White surfaces show significant dulling, with broad areas of discoloration or exposed darker material, and scratches are more prominent across the body.
• Battle-Scarred ($1.44): The white base can appear heavily faded, dirty, and patchy, with substantial base material showing through, and blue accents may be partially broken up by wear.
