The SSG08 Acid fade has a variable pattern visible below, that rotate and translate. Notice that the skin is symmetrical on the play and back side.

Said variation implies that more or less of the pattern is visible on the gun, and the community usually express that in a percentage, ranking from 80% to 100%.

That guide will list the top 10 low and high percentages, list of patterns by fade percentage and list of patterns by pattern number, so you can easily check yours.

The fade percentage is not a data in game, rather something that people reads on the skin, with more or less accuracy.

Two method cohabits :
- one per image analysis where you literally count pixels
- one with a calculating script

I will use the second method here.

You'll find the sources at the guide below :
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3089096014

please notice they have the seed 0 in double with the seed 1, and that the ranking goes from 1 to 500 twice : one time for the highest fade, and one time for the lowest fade.
I will not be using that ranking and rather ranking from 1 to 1000 as it's easier to understand and read that way, but if you check the JSON yourself, be worry of that detail.

While it's not really related to the guide, it's worth pointing why I let that guide visible while I've blocked others for reasons you can see inside those.

- I've done all research for that guide directly in CS2, not in CS GO
- I've done it because the skin look interesting in CS2 and wasn't really (for me) in CS2
- Some people claim I want fame for guides that don't exist, so that's a good way to show what I'm capable of.

Use those extensions at your own risk, shady stuff did happen in the past and are happening, for example the popular floatDB one is legit but is ignoring your inventory restriction and is listing it on its database.

In the past some have been used to set up API scams or steal steam info too.

I'm only listing the two top-tens

If you don't know what's below, please just ignore that section.


seed == 576 or seed == 575 or seed == 449 or seed == 897 or seed == 468 or seed == 961 or seed == 550 or seed == 107 or seed == 807 or seed == 80


seed == 182 or seed == 522 or seed == 230 or seed == 761 or seed == 780 or seed == 803 or seed == 178 or seed == 444 or seed == 206 or seed == 773

Sorry, can't use a steam table here, there's a characters limit by section which I reach after like 60 seeds, tables formatting takes a lot of characters.

I want to thank FloatDB database and tools, which helped me a lot in my research.
I want to thank user Step7750 for his research on fades, that allowed user Chescos to make the calculator I used..

I want to thank everybody that helped the guide, and all users that will and had pointed mistakes and stuff forgotten.
Please leave a comment if there's a mistake or something forgotten, i'll happily check and correct

They were other guide, but with respect for the creator, they didn't had all the infos I wanted so I made mine.



I want to thank you for reading the guide, I'm doing it just for help.
If you liked it, please rate a few stars, put it in your favorite or give an award. This is actually quite rewarding and push me to do more in the future :)

I've written a few guides already, I try to link the one related to each other inside the guide themselves when it's relevant, though if you want to see all of mine, you can check those directly from my steam profile.

I do not have any trading account or whatsoever, so I should not have any "alt" or impersonator, however a few forums trolls did impersonate me from time to time.
