SSG 08 | Halftone Whorl

Origin Story

The SSG 08 | Halftone Whorl features a custom-painted blue and green halftone whorl pattern, giving the sniper rifle a distinct visual identity. This skin was released on October 4, 2024, as part of The Armory update and belongs to The Graphic Design Collection. Its design uses a spray-paint finish to apply the swirling, dot-based pattern across the weapon. The in-game flavor text, "Handle with care," hints at the intricate details of its graphic design.

Drop Chance

SSG 08 | Halftone Whorl is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Graphic Design Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Industrial Grade drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 5 other Industrial 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 0.5. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($1.06): The blue and green halftone whorl pattern is fully vibrant and crisp, with no visible wear on the upper receiver or fore-end.
• Minimal Wear ($0.38): Minor wear may appear on sharp edges like the muzzle or scope housing, but the main blue and green pattern remains largely intact and distinct.
• Field-Tested ($0.25): Noticeable chipping and fading begin on high-contact areas, with the halftone dots becoming less continuous in worn zones on the fore-end.
• Well-Worn ($0.25): Extensive wear covers significant portions of the pattern, especially on the fore-end and stock, revealing more of the base material and reducing color saturation.
