SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader (Battle-Scarred)

The SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader (Battle-Scarred) is the roughest and cheapest grade of this white-and-arctic-blue finish. It's the entry point for buyers who want the design at the lowest cost.

Design

A white base carries arctic blue accents in this finish, giving it a cold, spectral look from community designer ClegFX. It carries the flavor line "I can never replace what was taken from us... but I can take even more from them," pulled from The Phoenix and The Initiate, Part 2.

SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

The Ghost Crusader floats across the full 0 to 1 scale, and Battle-Scarred sits at the very top of that range, reaching the most extreme wear the finish can show. Expect heavy grime, scratching, and paint loss across the body, with the once-bright white base and blue accents looking significantly faded and worn.

SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the purple tier — a step above Mil-Spec and below Classified, a genuinely uncommon pull from any case that carries it.

SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Chroma 3 Collection and drops from the Chroma 3 Case, released with the Trichromacy update in April 2016. Restricted-tier drops from that case land around 15.98% of the time as a group, and with the case's age, the market has become the standard way to buy one.

SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader Patterns

Because the paint job is fixed on every copy, there's no random pattern or blue-gem seed worth searching for on this finish. Wear and float are the only things that separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version exists, drawn from the same Chroma 3 Case, adding a permanent kill counter that stays with the item through every trade and sale. There's no Souvenir edition, since those only come from Major-tournament packages this finish has never been part of.

SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade on the Ghost Crusader's ladder, the budget route into this otherwise premium finish for buyers focused on price over condition. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred a good choice for the Ghost Crusader?

If price matters most, yes. It's the cheapest available grade for this premium finish, though the white base does show wear more visibly than darker skins would at the same condition, so expect noticeable grime and fading.

Does the Ghost Crusader still look good at Battle-Scarred?

The overall shape and blue accenting remain identifiable, though heavy scuffing and dulling take away much of the crispness seen at cleaner grades. It's a rougher, more weathered version of the same icy design.

Can you get a StatTrak Battle-Scarred Ghost Crusader?

Yes, StatTrak is available at every wear for this finish, Battle-Scarred included, sourced from the same Chroma 3 Case and generally priced above the standard version.
