Description
The pricy G3SG1 lowers movement speed considerably but compensates with a higher rate of fire than other sniper rifles. It has been painted using a desert camouflage hydrographic.
History
The G3SG1 "Desert Storm" was first introduced to Counter-Strike 12 years ago, on November 27th, 2013. It was released as part of the Dust 2 Collection, alongside the "DreamHack 2013" update. The skin was created by Valve itself instead of a community designer.
Origin
The G3SG1 "Desert Storm" can be obtained from 11 different containers. This includes the ESL One Cologne 2014 Dust II Souvenir Package, DreamHack 2014 Dust II Souvenir Package and ESL One Katowice 2015 Dust II Souvenir Package. The skin is also part of the Dust 2 Collection.
Popularity
With a popularity of 79%, the G3SG1 "Desert Storm" is currently in the top 21% of the most popular items in CS2. This popularity score is based on recent user engagement and market activity for the skin.

Finish Style

The film adheres to the primed weapon parts, covering the surface with a pattern. The primary color of this skin is brown. The look of the Desert Storm finish is affected by its pattern index. The skin uses the old legacy model.
