SG 553 | Colony IV (Factory New)

The SG 553 | Colony IV (Factory New) is a Classified rifle skin built around a hand-painted skeletal red ant above gas masks and an orange-yellow current. Factory New shows that artwork at its most vivid, sitting at the top of a genuinely grail-tier price range.

Design

Colony IV centers on a skeletal red ant painted above a row of gas masks, set against an orange-yellow current running across the body — a striking, almost sinister composition. It's a community design by UpoR, and it carries the flavor line "Become a part of their world."

SG 553 | Colony IV (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float on this finish spans the full 0.00–1.00 range, and at the low end the red ant and orange-yellow current sit bright and fully saturated. Factory New is as sharp as Colony IV ever looks.

SG 553 | Colony IV Rarity

Rarity: Classified — the pink tier, second from the top of the standard weapon rarities and just below Covert. It's a genuinely uncommon grade to pull from a case.

SG 553 | Colony IV Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Shattered Web Collection and drops from the Shattered Web Case, released with Operation Shattered Web in November 2019. The Classified tier as a whole pulls at around 3.2% from that case, a rate shared across the tier's skins.

SG 553 | Colony IV Patterns

The artwork is fixed on every copy — the ant, gas masks, and current all sit in the same place regardless of paint seed, so there's no blue-gem version to chase here. Wear and float are the only things separating one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ Colony IV exists and adds a confirmed-kill counter that stays permanent through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir version — Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages, and this collection has never been a Major drop.

SG 553 | Colony IV Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder, and the whole line runs high-end / grail-tier given the Classified rarity and the design's lasting popularity. It's a showpiece pick for players chasing the cleanest possible copy. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Why is Colony IV such an expensive SG 553 skin?

It's a Classified-grade drop from the Shattered Web Case, pulling at only around 3.2% for the tier, and the striking ant-and-gas-mask artwork has stayed popular for years. Both push it into high-end / grail-tier pricing on the SG 553.

What are the best gloves for the SG 553 | Colony IV?

The orange-yellow current and red ant suggest warm-toned gloves — orange or red-accented pairs pick up the artwork's highlights, while black gloves lean into its darker, unsettling mood. For a genuine best SG 553 Colony IV glove combo, matching the orange current tends to work best.

Is there a StatTrak version of Colony IV?

Yes — a StatTrak™ Colony IV exists, tracking confirmed kills with a permanent counter. It drops from the same Shattered Web Case as the regular finish, just at a rarer rate.
