G3SG1 | High Seas

Origin Story

The G3SG1 High Seas, released on August 3, 2018, as part of the A New Horizon update and The Horizon Collection, features a distinctive nautical theme. Its custom paint job includes decorative brass metalwork, evoking a sense of maritime adventure. The flavor text, "Let dead reckoning be your guide," further reinforces this theme, inviting players to navigate their own course.

Drop Chance

G3SG1 | High Seas is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Horizon 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 Horizon 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 0.7. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($12.44): The blue and white oceanic pattern is fully vibrant and intact, responding well to dynamic lighting.
• Minimal Wear ($3.48): Minor scuffs may appear on the edges of the weapon, but the overall "High Seas" graphic remains sharp.
• Field-Tested ($1.03): Noticeable wear begins to appear on prominent areas, with some dulling of the finish.
• Well-Worn ($1.24): The blue and white colors show significant fading and scratching, making the pattern less distinct.
• Battle-Scarred ($1.01): Extensive wear and discoloration cover the weapon, heavily obscuring the original oceanic design.

Model

High Seas uses the legacy G3SG1 model, introduced with A New Horizon on August 3, 2018. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
