SG 553 | Triarch

Origin Story

The SG 553 | Triarch, released on August 19, 2016, as part of the Double Exposure update and The Gamma 2 Collection, features a custom desert camouflage pattern. Its in-game description notes that the rifle was "commissioned by royalty and given custom desert camo," suggesting a regal origin story. The design incorporates a light tan base with darker brown and muted green geometric elements, particularly visible on the upper receiver and handguard. This aesthetic positions it among other desert and tan military-themed skins. As a Restricted rarity item from a legacy case, it holds a fixed historical supply.

Drop Chance

SG 553 | Triarch is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Gamma 2 Case: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Gamma 2 Case (about 1 in 313). 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 custom desert camo and geometric "triarch" motif are fully intact with crisp lines and saturated tan, brown, and muted green tones across the receiver and handguard.
• Minimal Wear ($1.92): Small, scattered micro-scratches may appear on sharp edges like the barrel or mag well, but the overall desert camo remains vibrant and close to Factory New.
• Field-Tested ($1.50): More noticeable edge wear and light scuffing appear on the front of the handguard and along the top rail, with some lighter tan areas beginning to dull.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): Large areas of wear are visible on corners and edges, with the tan base becoming more muted and grey wear appearing on outer surfaces; some geometric details may look faded.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): Extensive chipping, fading, and exposed base material are present on high-contact areas, making the desert camo appear washed-out with darker underlayers visible.

Model

Triarch uses the legacy SG 553 model, introduced with Double Exposure on August 19, 2016. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
