SSG 08 | Zeno (Minimal Wear)

This is the SSG 08 | Zeno in Minimal Wear (MW), with a float in the band 0.07 to 0.15. It is a Mil-Spec Scout from The Sport & Field Collection, which Valve opened in October 2024. For CS2 it is a light rifle with a red pattern and the word ZENO on the body.

What the SSG 08 | Zeno looks like in Minimal Wear

Gray-beige metal, white in places, makes up the body. The receiver carries dark gray ZENO lettering on its side, flanked by angular red strokes and marks that do not read as words. More red lines run over the stock, butt plate and front of the receiver. The barrel is dark, and the scope eyepiece is light blue.

In Minimal Wear, dark scuffs appear along the edges of the light paint, and the white and beige serve as a backdrop for them. The red pattern stays intact, and the lettering on the receiver is readable.

What to check before buying

Choosing a particular SSG 08 | Zeno comes down to these points:

• float: the 0.07 to 0.15 band is narrow, so copies look alike;


• stickers and a name tag the SSG 08 | Zeno inherited from a previous owner.

The artwork on the SSG 08 | Zeno is applied identically across the whole run.

What the SSG 08 | Zeno costs in Minimal Wear

Relative to Minimal Wear, prices spread like this:

• Factory New costs one and a half times as much;


• Field-Tested is 1.3 times cheaper;


• Well-Worn is half the price;


• Battle-Scarred is almost half the price.

Of the thirteen Mil-Spec SSG 08 skins in this wear, it costs more than Blush Pour, Memorial, Mainframe 001 and Dezastre, but less than Hand Brake. Detour, Threat Detected and Orange Filigree sit on top.

Getting the SSG 08 | Zeno

There is no case for this skin. You can get the SSG 08 | Zeno by trade-up: you need ten skins one rank lower from The Sport & Field Collection.

StatTrak and Souvenir

This skin has no StatTrak version and no Souvenir Packages either. A souvenir copy can be built by hand through the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the SSG 08 | Zeno

The light body holds almost any sticker except white and beige ones. Dark stickers read well on the receiver, and red ones repeat the color of the pattern. It is not worth hiding the ZENO lettering under stickers.

Who this wear suits

Buying the SSG 08 | Zeno in Minimal Wear is reasonable if:

• you want a Scout with a lively pattern, but cheaper than Factory New;


• dark scuffs on light paint do not bother you;


• you are buying the skin for the red graphics and the lettering, not for perfect cleanliness.
