TriviaEdit

• Through the development of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the SSG 08 has changed its skin 3 times. In Alpha and very early Beta versions, the SSG 08 had a grey color with a silver scope. On May 25th update, the SSG 08 was fully remodeled as it was reduced in size and included a black body with a new scope texture, On August 10th 2012 update, the black color was changed to a grey camouflage, giving it a slight resemblance to the Scout.
• Unlike the Scout, you will not gain speed bonus when equipped with SSG 08.
• Originally, the reload animations of the SSG 08 were not identical to the AWSM.
