SG 553 | Cyrex (Battle-Scarred)

The SG 553 | Cyrex (Battle-Scarred) is the most affordable entry point into this black, white, and red Classified finish, trading a clean look for the lowest price on the ladder.

Design

The finish wraps the SG 553 in a high-tech black, white, and red pattern, designed by community artist Nextgenz and paired with the dramatic in-game line: "Sebastien is coming for me Valeria... we don't have much time." It's a busy, sci-fi-leaning look built to stand out.

SG 553 | Cyrex (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Cyrex uses the full 0 to 1 float range, so Battle-Scarred can reach the most extreme wear the game allows. At this grade, heavy scratching and paint loss spread across the body, though the black-and-red contrast still helps the pattern remain somewhat readable at a distance.

SG 553 | Cyrex Rarity

Rarity: Classified, the pink tier that sits directly below Covert as the second-highest among standard weapon grades — a scarce pull regardless of condition.

SG 553 | Cyrex Case and Collection

Cyrex comes from the Falchion Case, part of The Falchion Collection released during Operation Bloodhound in May 2015. Classified finishes make up roughly 3.2% of the case's drops, and with the case out of active rotation, essentially all copies now trade on the open market.

SG 553 | Cyrex Patterns

The pattern doesn't vary between copies — paint seed has no bearing on how the black, white, and red design is laid out, so there's no blue-gem seed or rare layout worth chasing. Wear and float are the only distinguishing factors.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ SG 553 | Cyrex exists as well, with a permanent kill counter that carries through every trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version, since Souvenir weapons are exclusive to Major-tournament packages and Cyrex has never appeared in one.

SG 553 | Cyrex Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade of the Cyrex, sitting at the bottom of its price ladder. Even so, because the finish carries a premium status overall, it's still one of the pricier ways to run a Battle-Scarred SG 553 compared to other finishes. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Battle-Scarred still look good on the Cyrex?

It shows real damage — heavy scratching and dulled colors are part of the deal at this grade, since the finish's float range reaches the full 1.0 maximum. The pattern remains recognizable, but buyers wanting a sharper look should step up to Field-Tested or higher.

Is Battle-Scarred the cheapest way to own a Cyrex?

Yes, it's the bottom of the price ladder for this finish. Even at this grade the Cyrex costs more than many other SG 553 skins, though, because its Classified rarity and discontinued case keep overall demand and pricing elevated.

How does the Cyrex compare to other Classified SG 553 finishes for float range?

It spans the full 0 to 1 float scale, so it can reach both a pristine Factory New and the roughest possible Battle-Scarred. Some other finishes are capped short of 1.0, which keeps their worst grade milder than what Cyrex allows.
