SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader (Field-Tested)

The SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader (Field-Tested) carries the same white-and-arctic-blue design with some added wear. It's the classic middle-ground grade for this Restricted finish.

Design

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

SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

The finish floats across the full 0 to 1 range, and Field-Tested sits around the middle of it. Expect some visible grime and light scuffing on the white base at this grade, while the arctic blue accents stay reasonably bright, keeping the icy design legible.

SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader Rarity

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

SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader Case and Collection

The Ghost Crusader belongs to The Chroma 3 Collection, sourced from the Chroma 3 Case released with the Trichromacy update in April 2016. Restricted drops from that case land around 15.98% of the time as a group, and with the case's age, both the market and unboxing remain viable ways to get one.

SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader Patterns

The paint job doesn't vary between copies, so there's no pattern-seed roll or blue-gem chase to consider for the Ghost Crusader. Wear and float are what actually separate individual copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version is available, drawn from the same Chroma 3 Case, adding a permanent kill counter that carries through trades and sales. No Souvenir edition exists, since those only come from Major-tournament packages that this finish has never featured in.

SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader Price

Field-Tested sits below Minimal Wear on the price ladder, offering a somewhat cheaper way into this premium finish while keeping the design clearly visible. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Field-Tested wear show up badly on the white base?

Somewhat, since pale colors tend to show grime more than dark ones, but the wear stays limited to light scuffing at this grade, and the arctic blue accents stay bright enough to keep the design reading clearly.

Is Field-Tested a good value pick for the Ghost Crusader?

For most buyers, yes. It's noticeably cheaper than Minimal Wear or Factory New while still showing the icy design clearly, making it a sensible default for players who don't need a pristine float.

Is a StatTrak Field-Tested Ghost Crusader common?

StatTrak copies come from the same Chroma 3 Case as the standard finish, so they're rarer overall than the non-StatTrak version and typically carry a price premium at any wear, Field-Tested included.
