SG 553 | Tiger Moth

Origin Story

The SG 553 | Tiger Moth features a custom paint job with a moth wing pattern. It was released on December 8, 2015, as part of CS:GO’s Winter Update and is found in The Revolver Case Collection. The skin's flavor text, "Valeria is getting bolder... the time has come to take the fight to her - Felix Riley, Commanding Officer," hints at an ongoing narrative within the game's lore. This skin is available across all wear conditions, from Factory New to Battle-Scarred, with a float range of 0 to 1.

Drop Chance

SG 553 | Tiger Moth is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Revolver Case: approximately 2.66% per opening (roughly 1 in 38). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 6 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.27% from the Revolver Case (about 1 in 376). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The moth wing pattern is fully preserved and vibrant across the weapon, appearing clean and sharp.
• Minimal Wear ($3.10): Minor wear begins to appear on edges and contact points, though the overall moth wing design remains clear.
• Field-Tested (No Recent Price): Noticeable wear and scuffs develop across the skin, particularly on exposed areas, but the pattern is still distinct.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): Significant abrasion and paint loss are visible, causing the moth wing pattern to appear faded and heavily worn.
• Battle-Scarred ($1.33): The finish is heavily damaged, with large areas of paint loss and scuffing, giving the weapon a distressed look while still showing remnants of the original design.

Model

Tiger Moth uses the legacy SG 553 model, introduced with CS:GO’s Winter Update on December 8, 2015. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
