Origin Story
The SSG 08 | Carbon Fiber, released on September 22, 2021, with Operation Riptide, is part of The 2021 Vertigo Collection. This skin is painted with a carbon fiber hydrographic over a graphite base coat, giving it a sleek, technical appearance. It is valued by the community as a clean, black and graphite budget option, often forming part of minimalist "carbon set" loadouts. Its dark, neutral background makes it a popular choice for showcasing bright, metallic, or monochrome stickers.
Drop Chance
SSG 08 | Carbon Fiber is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It has appeared across 6 tournament packages, most recently the Rio 2022 Vertigo Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Vertigo Souvenir Package, and Stockholm 2021 Vertigo Souvenir Package.
Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The 2021 Vertigo Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Industrial Grade skins like Carbon Fiber are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 3 other Industrial Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.
Skin Condition
Float range 0 to 0.12. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear. StatTrak is not available for this skin. Factory New ($5.20): The carbon fiber pattern is sharp and fully intact, with maximum contrast between the carbon weave and the graphite base. Minimal Wear ($7.01): The pattern remains almost indistinguishable from Factory New in casual play, though tiny hints of wear may appear on sharp edges or a barely noticeable loss of gloss.
Model
Carbon Fiber uses the current SSG 08 model, added with Operation Riptide on September 22, 2021. The Anodized finish responds to CS2's dynamic lighting.

Visual Theme
Anodized: It has been painted using a carbon fiber hydrographic over a graphite base coat. The skin features dark black and graphite tones with a subtle carbon fiber weave pattern. In first-person view, the fine carbon fiber texture is visible on the scope housing and receiver. Players often group it with other Carbon Fiber skins, valuing it as a clean, low-key alternative to more flamboyant SSG finishes.

Sticker Compatibility
The dark graphite and carbon fiber pattern of this SSG 08 provides an excellent canvas for stickers, making it a popular choice for crafters. Bright, neon, or metallic gold and holo stickers stand out sharply against the black base, while white, silver, or monochrome team stickers offer a more subtle, coordinated aesthetic. The main body sticker slots, particularly on the receiver and rear area, are most visible during gameplay.
