SG 553 | Atlas

Origin Story

The SG 553 | Atlas, released on April 28, 2016, as part of The Chroma 3 Collection, features a modern camouflage hydrographic across its body. Its design was initially intended for the Coalition Taskforce but became a Phoenix exclusive due to corporate espionage. This skin is recognized for its thematic military-style camouflage, offering a distinct aesthetic for players who prefer a tactical look. As a Mil-Spec rifle skin from an older case, it primarily serves as a budget-friendly option for those seeking a military-themed SG 553.

Drop Chance

SG 553 | Atlas is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Chroma 3 Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Chroma 3 Case (about 1 in 88). 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 0.81. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($1.99): The camouflage pattern is fully intact with sharp lines and maximum color saturation across the receiver, handguard, and upper body.
• Minimal Wear ($0.63): Light edge wear and micro-chipping begin to appear on high-contact spots like the front edges and mag corners, though the camo remains vibrant.
• Field-Tested ($0.47): Noticeable wear patches develop on exposed edges of the barrel, handguard, and around the magazine, making colors appear more muted.
• Well-Worn ($0.59): Extensive edge wear and broader faded zones are visible across the main body, with sections of the camo looking heavily rubbed or partially missing.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.32): The camouflage is heavily worn with large sections of exposed base texture along the front, edges, and high-touch areas, significantly reducing color vibrancy.

Model
