SG 553 | Barricade

Origin Story

The SG 553 | Barricade, released on November 19, 2019, as part of Operation Shattered Web, belongs to The Norse Collection. This rifle features a spray-painted stencil of an isometric labyrinth across its body, creating a geometric, layered look with muted grays and dark bluish-green tones. Its in-game description, "Hopeless by design," hints at the maze-like pattern. As a Consumer Grade item from a non-active collection, it primarily appeals to those completing The Norse Collection or seeking an affordable SG 553 with a distinct visual theme.

Drop Chance

SG 553 | Barricade is Consumer Grade, the most common drop tier in CS2. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Norse Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Consumer Grade drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 4 other Consumer Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.65. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($14.43): The stenciled isometric labyrinth pattern is crisp and fully opaque, showing maximum color vibrancy in its muted grays and dark bluish/greenish tones.
• Minimal Wear ($11.06): Very light edge wear appears on high-contact zones like the front handguard, though the labyrinth pattern remains intact and clean.
• Field-Tested (No Recent Price): Noticeable fading and chipping of the sprayed labyrinth pattern occurs on prominent edges, with more of the underlying metal showing along the top rail.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): The spray-painted labyrinth appears significantly eroded, with larger patches of base metal exposed along the body and handguard, making the geometric design less coherent.
• Battle-Scarred ($12.60): The stencil pattern is highly degraded, showing substantial missing paint and a more uniform, worn-metal look, with remaining labyrinth fragments appearing faint and broken.
