Origin Story
The SSG 08 | Acid Fade, released on November 27, 2013, with the "Out with the old, in with the new" update, is part of The Safehouse Collection. This skin features an airbrushed application of transparent paints that fade together over a chrome base coat, creating vibrant gradients of lime green, yellow, and orange. Its extremely low float cap, ranging from 0.00 to 0.03, means all copies exist in Factory New or Minimal Wear conditions, maintaining a pristine appearance. The skin is largely considered a niche collector's item within the community due to its limited availability from an older collection. As Imogen, Arms Dealer In Training, noted in its flavor text, "This isn't just a weapon, it's a conversation piece."
Drop Chance
SSG 08 | Acid Fade is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Safehouse Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Mil-Spec drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 2 other Mil-Spec 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 0.03. Exteriors: Factory New. StatTrak is not available for this skin. Factory New ($1.53): The lime/acid green, yellow, and orange gradient fade retains its full color vibrancy, gloss, and metallic sheen over the chrome base.
Model
Acid Fade uses the legacy SSG 08 model, introduced with Out with the old, in with the new on November 27, 2013. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
