SG 553 | Danger Close

Origin Story

The SG 553 | Danger Close was released on December 6, 2018, as part of the Welcome to the Danger Zone update, belonging to The Danger Zone Collection. This skin features a hand-painted, metallic-fire themed design, giving the SG 553 a distinctive look. Its fiery gradients and metallic elements create a visually engaging surface. The skin's flavor text, "Watch your fire," complements its aggressive aesthetic.

Drop Chance

SG 553 | Danger Close is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Danger Zone 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 Danger Zone 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 0.02 to 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The metallic-fire themed design is pristine, showcasing full color vibrancy and minimal scratching across the receiver and handguard.
• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): The overall design remains crisp with strong orange hues, though faint surface marks and initial edge wear can appear on high-contact areas like the barrel and magazine.
• Field-Tested ($0.37): Noticeable scratches become more frequent on the body, and the fiery gradients show slight dulling, particularly on sharp corners and high-touch areas.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): Heavier edge wear is present with more of the base material showing through, and the metallic-fire elements appear muted or dirty across larger areas of the weapon.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): Extensive wear and significant fading affect the metallic effects, with large patches of exposed base material and a smoky appearance to the fire motif, particularly on the handguard and stock.

Model
