Souvenir SSG 08 | Death Strike (Factory New)

About Souvenir SSG 08 | Death Strike

The Souvenir SSG 08 | Death Strike in Factory New is the dark-skull illustration finish on the SSG 08 scout rifle, dropped as a souvenir item from a Major Championship match. Death Strike sits in the high-illustration tier of SSG 08 finishes, with a stylised skull-and-crossed-weaponry design across the stock and the bolt-action housing that reads as the rifle's character piece on the inspect animation.

Why FN suits Death Strike

The Death Strike illustration depends on sharp linework and dark-on-pale contrast to read - both attributes that the FN tier preserves at peak clarity. The stock illustration stays unscuffed, the contrast between the skull figure and the background reads cleanly, and the souvenir gold-foil sticker overlay sits against an undamaged design canvas. For SSG 08 souvenir collectors, FN is the canonical wear tier for this design.

SSG 08 souvenir niche

SSG 08 souvenir items occupy a quieter corner of the souvenir market - the SSG sees lower pro-play usage than the AWP, which produces fewer marquee Major-match killshot Souvenir drops. For collectors who want a Souvenir scout with a graphic identity rather than a Souvenir AWP at full premium, FN Souvenir Death Strike is a defensible pickup at a Souvenir tier softer than the equivalent AWP would carry. The supply scarcity means individual copies often sit on Skinport and Waxpeer for weeks at a time, with pricing driven by the specific sticker combination on each individual copy.
