StatTrak™ G3SG1 | Black Sand (Minimal Wear)

What the StatTrak™ counter does

The StatTrak™ G3SG1 | Black Sand (Minimal Wear, MW) is the StatTrak™ copy of this skin — the same Mil-Spec Grade finish, the same look, with a kill counter built into the model. Custom painted with a tan-and-black military camo, the finish layers warm desert tones and dark patches across the body for a rugged, field-ready look. Minimal Wear covers 0.07–0.15 on the float scale, a step below Factory New, with wear that stays hard to spot at a glance.

What StatTrak™ changes about the price of the G3SG1 | Black Sand

Every confirmed kill with this weapon adds one to the number printed on the model. The count lives on the item rather than the account, which is why it survives trades and sales intact — and why it can never be wound back down. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows.

Where a StatTrak™ copy comes from

Expect to pay more than for the plain version: StatTrak™ copies are much thinner on the ground at any given finish and exterior. The premium tracks the skin itself, not the counter — buyers pay for the finish and the float, and a big number adds little.

FAQ

Part of The Shattered Web Collection, this finish comes out of the Shattered Web Case, which launched with Operation Shattered Web in November 2019. StatTrak™ is settled at the drop: a copy either leaves the case with a counter or never has one, and it cannot be added afterwards.

Can the StatTrak counter on the G3SG1 | Black Sand be reset?

No. The count only moves one way and stays with the item through every trade and sale. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows. It still cannot lower the number.

Does StatTrak change how the G3SG1 | Black Sand looks?

No, apart from the counter on the model. The finish, the pattern and the float range are identical to the plain version, so at the same exterior the two look the same in hand.
