Best SG 553 Skins in CS2

We don’t know about you, but some of us at Skin.Land definitely miss the Krieg meta – a beautiful time when the SG 553 was the assault rifle with the highest amount of damage dealt to armored opponents combined with impeccable accuracy and a price comparable to AK-47’s. Despite the relatively short period of Krieg supremacy on the server, some of us still use this scoped assault rifle quite frequently, especially the myopic uncs such as yours truly. On a serious note, we believe that SG 553 is an extremely underrated weapon, especially in the skin department, as there’s a plethora of good-looking skins for the Swiss-made rifle. In this guide, we’ll provide you with a list of some of our favorite SG 553 skins that you can find on Skin.Land.

What’s Special About Krieg

What separates SG 553 from other assault rifles in terms of visuals is how it’s painted. The SG 553 is the exclusive Terrorist-side scoped assault rifle, serving as the direct counterpart to the CT's AUG. While the CT version of a scoped rifle, AUG that is, never features skins with painted scope (except for the AUG | Eye of Zapems), the SG 553 has a bunch of entirely painted skins. What’s even better is that some of the skins with full paint coverage are Consumer and Industrial Grade skins. Getting even a cheap Krieg skin with painted scope transforms the entire gaming experience, especially if this is your weapon of choice. While the SG 553 skins tend to be considered more understated and not as popular or iconic as the AK-47 ones, there’s a huge upside in terms of generally lower price. 

Another defining feature, rather unfortunate in this case, is that there are no Covert (Red) skins for SG 553, with the highest skin tier being the Classified (Pink). Despite having no Covert options, there are a few vibrant skins with striking color schemes that are quite affordable and look up to par. Let’s take a look at some of the best SG 553 skins in CS2:

The Best SG 553 Skins in CS2

The SG 553 skin range covers a wide palette of colors and themes, ranging from esports and mecha-inspired designs to something clean and more subtle. 

1. SG 553 | Integrale

Price range: $3.5 - $90
This right here is the most iconic SG 553 skin. Inspired by the livery of multiple World Rally Championship winner Lancia Delta Integrale, this skin brings the love for motorsport to the server. Painted in the iconic tricolor with Martini-esque decals, the Integrale skin is a great find for any motorsport enthusiast. 

2. SG 553 | Colony IV

Price range: $9.75 - $80
The Colony IV is a bright yellow yet dark aesthetic, featuring a highly detailed, menacing illustration of a zombie ant roaming through the nuclear wasteland. The warm yellow tone is complimented by black, red and swamp blue tones with broken gas masks pictured on the pistol grip and magazine.  

3. SG 553 | Cyrex

Price range: $4.3 - $38
This one is a fantastic legacy skin that’s been in the game for quite some time. The Cyrex features sleek high-tech design, performed in dominating black color with contrasting white and red elements. The tasteful addition of small red geometric shapes makes this skin a perfect canva for your sticker crafts (Astralis, FaZe Clan, Heroic). 

4. SG 553 | Hazard Pay

Price range: $180 - $240
One of the most expensive and rare SG 553 skins on the market, Hazard Pay is another vibrant yellow skin in our list. Compared to menacing Colony IV, the Hazard Pay’s color scheme and textures are meant to resemble construction equipment and tools. The warning stripe on the magazine implies that the weapon’s bearer is one hazardous fellow. Make sure to complete the look with Hand Wraps | CAUTION!

5. SG 553 | Pulse

Price range: $2.3 - $12
We had to mention at least one pink skin, and the SG 553 Pulse is a great neon pink skin with a contrasting black base. The design features purple-ish pink shattered geometric patterns crashing against the black backdrop, with the lower part of the receiver having the most amount of pink color. Just like the Cyrex, this skin is a great canvas for sticker crafts (Rare Atom, 9z). These skins are not available in Factory New quality, so you’re going to have some chipped paint on the tip of the barrel.

6. SG 553 | Phantom

Price range: $0.83 - $7.47
The Phantom is a cool futuristic skin inspired by sci-fi and mecha design. The colorway mainly consists of light blue and metallic grey tones, with lots of intricate details that makes the skin look like a mecha mobile suit.
