About the SSG 08 | Death's Head
SSG 08 | Death's Head is a Restricted skin that drops from one of the 42 CS2 weapon cases, the Operation Hydra Case.
Valve released the Operation Hydra Case on 23 May 2017.
Each open has a 3.1960% chance (about 1 in 31) of pulling it, as one of 5 Restricted finishes. One in ten of those drops is StatTrak.
It sits in tier 2 of 5 (Mil-Spec to Rare Special) and ranks #37 of 41 finishes in the Operation Hydra Case by top-wear Steam price.
Its Steam price runs from $21.36 to $30.34 across wears, against $40.86 to open the Operation Hydra Case (case plus $2.50 key), so even its best wear is worth less than one open.
