SG 553 | Ultraviolet

The SG 553 | Ultraviolet is a CS2 rifle skin with a black central body and contrasting purple attachments. Its Solid Color finish keeps the scoped Terrorist weapon free of artwork and patterned graphics. The restrained design suits players building a black-and-purple loadout or looking for clearly separated weapon details. All exterior grades are available, alongside StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions.

Description

The SG 553 | Ultraviolet gives this scoped CS2 rifle a straightforward black-and-purple finish. The Terrorist-exclusive weapon offers a scoped option for long-range engagements. Black covers the receiver and curved magazine, keeping the central body visually distinct from the attachments. Purple extends across the scope, handguard, grip, and stock, making the color contrast visible throughout the rifle. Rather than relying on illustrations, the finish emphasizes the shapes and boundaries of individual weapon parts. That approach suits players who prefer a restrained palette without lettering or decorative graphics. Buyers can choose exteriors ranging from Factory New through Battle-Scarred, depending on their preferred condition. Comparing the float value and standard, StatTrak, or Souvenir version helps narrow the choice to a specific listing.

History and Origin

The SG 553 | Ultraviolet debuted in CS:GO on August 14, 2013, during the Arms Deal update. Valve created the finish rather than a community designer. It belongs to The Arms Deal Collection, which identifies its collection origin separately from its weapon and rarity. Its original case source is the CS:GO Weapon Case. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, ending new drops of that case. As of October 9, 2026, existing cases remain available to buy on the market and open. Finished skins can also be purchased directly through the Steam Community Market without obtaining the case. Player-to-player trades provide another current route, allowing an existing copy to change owners rather than relying on a case opening.

Finish Style

Ultraviolet uses the Solid Color finish style, with separate weapon components spray-painted in contrasting colors. The receiver forms a black center that anchors the design. The curved magazine shares that black treatment, visually connecting it with the rifle's main body. Gray highlights pick out edges and raised details across those dark surfaces. Purple covers the barrel, muzzle, and vented handguard, extending the accent color along the front of the weapon. The scope, pistol grip, and skeletal stock receive the same purple treatment at the top and rear. Smaller controls and fittings on the receiver add purple accents within the otherwise black central section. With no visible artwork, lettering, or patterned graphics, the overall appearance depends on solid color placement and the contrast between the body and attachments.

Float Value

The SG 553 | Ultraviolet has a float value range of 0.06 to 0.80. Its available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred, so none of the standard exterior grades are missing. StatTrak and Souvenir versions are also available, but version selection remains separate from the exterior and float of an individual copy.

Rarity and Popularity

The SG 553 | Ultraviolet is a Mil-Spec Grade rifle skin from The Arms Deal Collection. Its chance of appearing when opening the CS:GO Weapon Case is 26.64%, so obtaining it through that route remains uncertain. Professional players s1mple, Maikelele, and malbsMd have owned the skin, providing documented ownership without establishing how quickly market listings will sell.

Why it’s Popular:

• Black-and-purple contrast across clearly separated weapon parts

• Solid colors without artwork or lettering

• Exterior choices from Factory New through Battle-Scarred

• StatTrak and Souvenir options for different collecting preferences

Price Range

The live SG 553 | Ultraviolet price range is $9.96 to $230.00. These bounds cover the whole skin rather than a particular exterior or version. For a useful CS2 skin price comparison, check the exact exterior and float value attached to each listing. Standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir copies should be compared separately rather than treated as interchangeable purchases. When preparing to buy, sell, or trade, matching those details gives a more relevant reference than choosing solely from the overall range.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open the CS:GO Weapon Case

Open the CS:GO Weapon Case for a 26.64% chance of receiving this skin. The case no longer drops, but existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy the SG 553 | Ultraviolet directly on the Steam Community Market to choose an existing copy instead of opening a case. Check the listing's exterior and whether it is standard, StatTrak, or Souvenir before purchasing.

4. Trade with Other Players

Trade with another player who owns the SG 553 | Ultraviolet to obtain an existing copy. Confirm the offered item's exterior, float, and version before accepting, since those details distinguish it from other copies.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The retired CS:GO Weapon Case is no longer replenished through drops, although existing cases can still produce additional Ultraviolet skins. Professional ownership supports its appeal as a playable rifle finish, but does not establish broader demand, resale speed, or a price trend. Compare like-for-like exteriors and versions when evaluating listings, especially when a trade involves a specific float or StatTrak copy.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Origin in a retired weapon case

• Documented ownership by professional players

• Valve-created finish from the Arms Deal update

• StatTrak and Souvenir collecting options

The investment rating is medium, supported by its retired case origin and documented professional ownership. Existing cases can still produce copies, and the 26.64% opening chance limits the argument for treating this finish as especially scarce. Future buyer demand remains uncertain, so its appearance and preferred version are firmer purchase reasons than an expectation of returns.
