SSG 08 | Parallax

Origin Story

The SSG 08 | Parallax was released on December 3, 2020, as part of The Operation Broken Fang Collection. Its custom paint job features colors applied in offset positions, creating an eye-popping look with vibrant cyan, purple, and yellow-orange accents against dark paneling. This geometric design is particularly noticeable on the scope and rear body, making the pattern stand out while aiming. As a Restricted-tier skin from a past operation, it holds a collector-oriented appeal within the SSG lineup.

Drop Chance

SSG 08 | Parallax is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Operation Broken Fang 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 Operation Broken Fang Case (about 1 in 313). 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 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($24.55): Colors are bright and saturated with crisp edges between the cyan, purple, and yellow/orange elements, showing minimal to no scratching. This is the premium presentation tier for collectors.
• Minimal Wear ($12.59): The parallax color bands remain vibrant with only light edge wear or micro-scratching on the barrel and extremities. This tier offers a near-pristine look without the Factory New premium.
• Field-Tested ($5.09): Noticeable scratching and wear appear on outer edges, the barrel, and high-contact surfaces, with colors losing some perceived saturation due to exposed darker base material. The geometric pattern remains fully legible.
• Well-Worn ($4.03): Heavier edge and surface wear is present, especially on the barrel, muzzle, and leading parts of the receiver, with more of the darker base showing through and colors appearing more muted.
• Battle-Scarred ($3.93): Extensive scratching, chipping, and exposed base material cover much of the weapon, with color panels appearing significantly faded and broken up by wear. This is the cheapest entry point into owning the skin.
