SSG 08 | Tiger Tear (Battle-Scarred)

The SSG 08 | Tiger Tear (Battle-Scarred, BS) shows its forest-colored tiger camo under the heaviest wear the finish allows. It's the cheapest way to own this budget-tier camo sniper skin.

Design

A forest-toned tiger camo pattern covers the rifle's body, drawing on a wild, animal-inspired theme rather than a standard tactical look. It's a Valve-made finish, carrying the flavor text "Endangered no more."

SSG 08 | Tiger Tear (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred sits at the worn end of the Tiger Tear's 0–0.55 float range, showing the heaviest scuffing and fading the finish offers. Because that range caps at 0.55 rather than a full 1.00, even this bottom grade stays milder than a fully worn skin elsewhere in the game, and the camo stripes remain readable throughout.

SSG 08 | Tiger Tear Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade, one tier above the base Consumer Grade. It's a common rarity, though the tiger stripe motif gives it more personality than most skins at this level.

SSG 08 | Tiger Tear Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Boreal Collection, debuted with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. There's no case involved — trade-up contracts and direct market purchases are the usual ways to acquire one.

SSG 08 | Tiger Tear Patterns

Since the camo artwork is fixed, every Tiger Tear shows the same stripe pattern underneath its wear, with no seed lottery or "blue gem" version to hunt. Float value and resulting wear grade are the only real differences between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak™ edition has ever been made for this finish, so there's no kill-counter variant to find. A Souvenir version doesn't exist either, since those only come from Major-tournament packages this skin has never been part of.

SSG 08 | Tiger Tear Price

Battle-Scarred is the lowest-priced grade of the Tiger Tear, making an already budget finish about as cheap as it gets. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred still recognizable as the Tiger Tear?

Yes — even under heavy scuffing, the forest-toned camo stripes stay visible across the rifle. You're trading a clean surface for the lowest possible price on an already affordable finish.

Why doesn't Battle-Scarred look extremely worn?

Because the Tiger Tear's float caps at 0.55 rather than the full 1.00, its worst copies never reach the most extreme wear the game allows. That keeps the camo pattern more legible than it would be on a full-range skin.

Is this the absolute cheapest way to buy the Tiger Tear?

Yes, Battle-Scarred is the least expensive grade across the whole line, and the finish itself already sits at the budget end of the market. Every step up in condition adds a small amount to the price.
