SG 553 | Fallout Warning

Origin Story

The SG 553 | Fallout Warning features a design spray-painted with radiological hazard patterns. This distinctive look was introduced on August 8, 2014, as part of The Cache Collection, coinciding with the Cologne 2014 update. The skin's visual theme directly references the dangers of radiation.

Drop Chance

SG 553 | Fallout Warning is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It has appeared across 12 tournament packages, most recently the Krakow 2017 Cache Souvenir Package, London 2018 Cache Souvenir Package, and MLG Columbus 2016 Cache 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 Cache Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Industrial Grade skins like Fallout Warning are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 5 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.
