The SG 553 | Aerial (Battle-Scarred) is like that one friend who’s seen too many all-nighters but still claims they’ve got their life together. The once-pristine blue geometric patterns now look like they’ve been dragged through a gravel parking lot, with scratches and wear that scream “I’ve been dropped more times than a Valorant rank.” Functionally, it’s still a laser beam of a rifle—scope in, and even your spray-and-pray becomes art. But let’s be real: the Battle-Scarred finish is either a flex (“I don’t need pretty guns”) or a cry for help. Either way, it’s got more character than a Silver lobby’s voice chat.
