SG 553 | Colony IV (Minimal Wear)

The SG 553 | Colony IV (Minimal Wear) keeps the Classified ant-and-gas-mask artwork looking close to flawless. It's a small step down from Factory New on a genuinely high-end SG 553 finish.

Design

The finish features a hand-painted skeletal red ant above a line of gas masks, set over an orange-yellow current that runs across the rifle. UpoR, a community artist, designed it, pairing it with the line "Become a part of their world."

SG 553 | Colony IV (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Within the full 0.00–1.00 float range, Minimal Wear sits near the low end, showing only the faintest softening at the edges of the artwork. The red ant and orange current stay bright and clearly defined at this grade.

SG 553 | Colony IV Rarity

Rarity: Classified, the pink tier that sits just below Covert on the standard weapon ladder. It's an uncommon grade to pull, which is part of why the finish trades at a premium.

SG 553 | Colony IV Case and Collection

Part of The Shattered Web Collection, this skin drops from the Shattered Web Case released with Operation Shattered Web in November 2019. The Classified tier pulls at roughly 3.2% overall from that case.

SG 553 | Colony IV Patterns

Every copy shows the identical ant-and-gas-mask composition — there's no seed-based variation and nothing resembling a blue gem on this finish. Only float and wear separate individual copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of Colony IV is available and tracks confirmed kills with a counter that carries over through trades and sales. No Souvenir version exists, since Souvenir status only comes from Major-tournament packages and this collection has never been a Major drop.
