G3SG1 | Keeping Tabs (Factory New)
The pricy G3SG1 lowers movement speed considerably but compensates with a higher rate of fire than other sniper rifles. It has been custom painted using Danger Zone's tactical map display as inspiration.

Description
The G3SG1 | Keeping Tabs is a CS:GO (legacy) weapon skin that made its way into Counter-Strike 2 through the game’s continuing carryover of classic cosmetics. It is part of The Operation Riptide Collection, placing it among the skins released during the Operation Riptide era and later preserved for CS2 players to browse, collect, and trade.
As a Mil-Spec Grade skin, Keeping Tabs sits in a popular middle tier of rarity. While exact drop rates aren’t publicly guaranteed by Valve, Mil-Spec items are generally more obtainable than higher-tier skins, making them a realistic option for players building loadouts without jumping into rarity-heavy categories. The skin’s float range is 0.00 to 0.70, which determines how worn or “fresh” the finish will look on each specific item.
This skin is available in all standard wear states: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available (Yes), allowing owners to track weapon statistics, while Souvenir is not available (No). That means this skin is geared toward regular gameplay use and collectors who prefer StatTrak-enabled items over event-specific souvenirs.
Visually, Keeping Tabs features a stylized “keeping tabs” theme with its Keeping Tabs finish/pattern, identified by paint index 1095. Across the different wears, the crispness of the print and overall surface appearance can shift—Factory New typically shows the strongest clarity, while heavily worn versions may show more muted details and visible aging.
To obtain it, look for Operation Riptide Case openings, where the skin is listed as part of the Operation Riptide Collection. Depending on your luck and the case contents at the time, the same skin can appear in different wear conditions within the stated 0–0.7 float range.
In the community, G3SG1 skins are often appreciated for complementing its tactical role as a precision rifle, and Keeping Tabs is frequently chosen for its approachable, recognizable look without the pressure of high-tier rarity. With StatTrak support and multiple wear options, it’s a solid pick for players who want a grounded Mil-Spec skin that still feels thematic and collectible in CS2.
