SG 553 | Phantom (Battle-Scarred)

The SG 553 | Phantom (Battle-Scarred) is the most worn state of this Restricted finish, hand painted in blue and gray with orange accents. It's the cheapest way to bring the Phantom's color scheme to an SG 553.

Design

The finish is built on a blue-and-gray base with orange accents, a hand-painted, high-contrast look. It's a community design by DasDas, carrying the line "A ScyTech procurement."

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

Battle-Scarred sits at the top of the finish's float cap of 0.60, which is well short of the full 1.00 maximum the game allows, so this grade never reaches the most extreme wear. Heavy scratching spreads across the body here, but the blue, gray, and orange color scheme stays visible enough to identify the finish even at its roughest.

SG 553 | Phantom Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the purple tier sitting between Mil-Spec and Classified — an uncommon grade in any condition.

SG 553 | Phantom Case and Collection

This finish drops from the Spectrum 2 Case, part of The Spectrum 2 Collection released in September 2017. Restricted-tier skins account for around 15.98% of the case's odds as a group.

SG 553 | Phantom Patterns

The hand-painted layout never changes by seed — every copy carries the same fixed design, so there's no pattern or blue-gem search worth running. Wear and float are the only real differences.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak Phantom exists from the same Spectrum 2 Case, with a permanent confirmed-kill counter carried through trades and sales. No Souvenir version was ever made, since this finish has never been part of a Major-tournament Souvenir package.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred Phantom still recognizable?

Yes. Despite heavy scratching, the blue, gray, and orange color scheme keeps the design readable at a glance in-game — Battle-Scarred trades polish for the lowest price, not the look itself.

Why doesn't Battle-Scarred hit maximum wear here?

The Phantom's float is capped at 0.60 rather than the full 1.00, so even its worst copies stop well short of the harshest wear the game allows, keeping the design more legible than on an uncapped finish.

What's the cheapest way to get the SG 553 | Phantom?

Battle-Scarred. It sits at the bottom of the finish's price ladder, making it the lowest-cost way to add the Phantom's blue-gray-and-orange look to your SG 553.
