StatTrak™ G3SG1 | Black Sand (Well-Worn)

The pricy G3SG1 lowers movement speed considerably but compensates with a higher rate of fire than other sniper rifles. It has been custom painted with a tan and black military camo pattern. The Coalition Taskforce was winning, so Mikah turned to a more... aggressive approach
