StatTrak™ SSG 08 | Dragonfire (Battle-Scarred)

What the StatTrak™ counter does

The StatTrak™ SSG 08 | Dragonfire (Battle-Scarred, BS) is the StatTrak™ copy of this skin — the same Covert finish, the same look, with a kill counter built into the model. A hydrographic dragon wraps the body in red and orange tones meant to suggest fire, a bold community design from Helenek and Puffin. Battle-Scarred covers everything from 0.45 up to 1.00 float — the most heavily worn grade and the cheapest way into the skin.

What StatTrak™ changes about the price of the SSG 08 | Dragonfire

The counter logs every confirmed kill you get with it and keeps the running total on the model. It belongs to the item and not to your account, so it travels with the skin through every trade and sale, and nothing sets it back to zero. 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

A StatTrak™ copy is far scarcer than a plain one at the same finish and exterior, so it normally costs more. How much more follows the finish and the float rather than the number on the counter — a high kill count is a curiosity, not a price driver.

FAQ

This finish is part of The Glove Collection and drops from the Glove Case, which arrived in November 2016. 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 SSG 08 | Dragonfire 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 SSG 08 | Dragonfire 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.
