SG 553 | Heavy Metal by de puiseau appeared in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on May 3, 2021. It’s contained in the Snakebite Case that includes 17 community-designed firearm finishes and a set of gloves as rare drops. This case was introduced to the shooter in “The End of Broken Fang” update.

The carbine’s appearance resembles a leather jacket typical for fans of heavy metal, a genre of rock music characterized by the sound of distorted guitar and loudness. The similarity to a jacket lies in the numerous rivets and spikes, complemented by an aggressive abstract orange-red pattern.

Float Value of the item can vary between 0.00 and 1.00, allowing it to be obtainable in any exterior quality category. As the float value increases, the weapon darkens and slightly wears down. In the “Battle-Scarred” condition, the carbine loses a minimal amount of paint and becomes significantly darker.

SG 553 | Heavy Metal is categorized as the “Mil-Spec Grade” rarity and can be obtained with the StatTrak kill counter. The skin is popular among CS2 players.
