SSG 08 | Tiger Tear

Origin Story

The SSG 08 | Tiger Tear, released on April 1, 2025, as part of the Spring Forward update, features a forest-colored tiger camo pattern. The in-game flavor text, "Endangered no more," hints at a thematic resilience. This design ensures the camo pattern is the most visible element during gameplay.

Drop Chance

SSG 08 | Tiger Tear 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 Boreal 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 8 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.
