SG 553 | Ultraviolet (Factory New)

The SG 553 | Ultraviolet (Factory New) is a Mil-Spec Grade rifle skin finished in a black-and-purple color scheme. Factory New shows that neon-tinged palette at its most vivid.

Design

Ultraviolet keeps things graphic-free, with individual parts of the SG 553 spray-painted solid black and purple for a sleek, high-contrast look. It's a Valve-made finish, and it carries the in-game line: "Elegant design paired with brutal intent."

SG 553 | Ultraviolet (Factory New) Float and Wear

Ultraviolet's float runs from 0.06 to 0.80, so Factory New sits right at the top of that range. At this grade the purple and black tones read deep and even with no scuffing to break up the finish, giving it its cleanest possible look.

SG 553 | Ultraviolet Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade, the blue tier — one step above Industrial Grade and below Restricted among the standard weapon rarities. It's a common, easy-to-find grade to unbox.

SG 553 | Ultraviolet Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Arms Deal Collection and drops from the CS:GO Weapon Case, released with the Arms Deal update in August 2013. Within that case, the Mil-Spec tier as a whole drops at roughly 79.92%, a rate shared across the tier's skins rather than unique to Ultraviolet.

SG 553 | Ultraviolet Patterns

The black-and-purple scheme on Ultraviolet is fixed — there's no paint-seed index that changes how it looks, and no "blue gem" variant to hunt. Wear and float alone separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ SG 553 | Ultraviolet exists, tracking confirmed kills on a permanent counter that carries over through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir version — Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages, and this finish has never been part of one.

FAQ

Is Factory New Ultraviolet worth seeking out?

If you want the black-and-purple scheme at its most vivid with zero visible scuffing, Factory New is the grade to look for. Given the finish already sits toward the higher end of SG 553 pricing, buyers at this grade are typically after top condition specifically.

Why does Ultraviolet drop so often from the CS:GO Weapon Case?

As a Mil-Spec Grade finish, Ultraviolet sits in the most common drop tier of the CS:GO Weapon Case, with the whole tier landing around 79.92% of opens. That high drop rate is typical for the entry-level rarity of any weapon case.

What are the best gloves for the SG 553 | Ultraviolet?

Its black-and-purple palette suits a dark, high-contrast loadout, so purple or black gloves work best for a matching set. A deep-purple pair makes for the best SG 553 Ultraviolet glove combo while keeping the sleek, moody vibe intact.
