SSG 08 | Tiger Tear (Factory New)

The SSG 08 | Tiger Tear (Factory New, FN) is an Industrial Grade sniper finish wrapped in a forest-colored tiger camo pattern. Factory New shows that camo at its sharpest, right before any wear starts to soften the stripes.

Design

Tiger Tear applies a forest-toned tiger camo across the rifle's body, leaning into a wild, animalistic look rather than a clean tactical scheme. It's a Valve-made finish, and it comes with the flavor line "Endangered no more."

SSG 08 | Tiger Tear (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish spans a float of 0 to 0.55, putting Factory New right at the cleanest end of that range. The camo stripes stay crisp and well-defined here, with no scuffing to blur the edges of the pattern.

SSG 08 | Tiger Tear Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade, one tier above the base Consumer Grade and still a common find. It's an entry-level rarity, but the camo 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, which arrived with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. There's no weapon case tied to it — copies come from the collection itself, typically through trade-up contracts or a direct market purchase.

SSG 08 | Tiger Tear Patterns

The tiger camo is fixed across every copy of the Tiger Tear, so there's no paint-seed roll or "blue gem" variant to hunt for. Wear grade and exact float are the only differences from one copy to the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak™ version of this finish has been released, so there's no kill-tracking variant on the market. There's also no Souvenir edition — Souvenir weapons come exclusively from Major-tournament packages, and Tiger Tear has never been part of one.

SSG 08 | Tiger Tear Price

Factory New is the priciest grade of the Tiger Tear, but the finish overall sits at the budget end of the market, making even this top condition an easy pickup. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it on such an affordable skin?

Since the whole finish is budget-priced, stepping up to Factory New costs very little extra, so it's an easy way to get the sharpest camo detailing without much of a price jump. If you're on a strict budget, Minimal Wear (MW) looks nearly as clean anyway.

Does the Tiger Tear come from a case?

No, it's part of The Boreal Collection rather than a weapon case, so it isn't unboxed directly. Trade-up contracts or a straightforward market purchase are the usual ways to get one.

What gloves match the SSG 08 Tiger Tear?

The forest-toned camo pairs naturally with olive, dark green, or tan gloves that lean into the same outdoor, hunted feel. A muted moto or driver glove in those shades keeps the loadout visually consistent without clashing.
