The Ghillie Suit is a Skin in surviv.io that hides the Player and is currently the only Skin in the game to hide your Equipment. The Ghillie Suit has near grass colored hands and body. Its main use is for camouflage, and serves the same purpose as the Desert Ghillie, Vernal Ghillie, Verdant Ghillie, and the Incursion Ghillie, all of which were removed.
Location/Rarity[]
- The skin can be found in Tier World or any common loot tier with a very rare chance to spawn.
- On the Cobalt Map, although no skins spawn with the exception of the class skins, the Ghillie Suit can spawn very rarely as Master Scavenger loot.
- On the 50v50 map, ghillie suits dropped by golden Military Airdrops are very common.
- It also may also rarely spawn from regular Military Airdrops.

Strategies[]
- The whole idea behind the Ghillie Suit is to camouflage. Stay as hidden (in plain sight) as possible so you can ambush your opponents. Some good places to hide are bushes, trees, or other green objects since it matches the camouflage color, practically making you invisible.
- It is recommended to not hold a gun while you have this skin so you can sneak around better. Try to avoid using certain melee weapons (such as the Naginata), as they stand out more than fists. Also, melee skins will not be hidden.
- Try holding guns with different holding positions (e.g. FAMAS, Groza and Groza-S) and face a Tree. This makes your hands invisible.
- The Ghillie suit is currently one of the only 3 skins which gives a noticeable advantage. The other 2 are Speedo, which allows you to move at normal speed in water, and Forest Camo, that makes you harder to spot in trees and bushes.
- Position your hands correctly right next to a building, and you will be practically invisible. If you see a player, then ambush them.
- Get a Sniper Rifle and a Scope, and stand in the middle of the map and hunt people down. If they see your bullets and start running towards you, just switch to fists and hide them in a bush or tree
- If you see a player and they didn't throw a Smoke Grenade at where they are, then, go in the smoke and since the player will not expect you to appear, come out the smoke and attack them. They will not see you and will run. This is best used when a player is at low health.
- Since the Ghillie Suit hides Helmets and Vests, they can be used to make enemies underestimate you since they don't know your level of armor.
- The Ghillie Suit is one of the most prized items in the game and will make you a target. Try to stay hidden or out of sight most of the time.
Trivia[]

- If you have a Ghillie Suit and a Pan, when the Pan is not equipped, the Pan will show on your back.
- Holding a Weapon, and facing a Tree, gives more disguise then holding Fists at Trees.
- While you are walking, hold fists, and face the opposite direction you are walking. This will lead players to think you are behind your Fists, when you are in front.
- Despite the addition of the Desert Ghillie, the normal Ghillie could still rarely spawn in Desert Maps before the variants of Ghillie suit
- The Ghillie Suit does not exactly match the hex color for the Main Map's grass. The hex color for the main map is #80AF49, while the Ghillie Suit's body hex color is #83AF50. This is probably intentional, so that even in-game, with good eyes, the color difference can be spotted, but it's hard to notice.
- During the spring map update, the Ghillie Suit did not blend in with the grass. After the "Later Tater" update it was once again nearly invisible.
- However, in the "Hunt or be Hunted" update, the spring variant splits from the original one and finally became Vernal Ghillie.
- A player with the Ghillie Suit can look like 2 randomly floating circles.
- As of the "The perks of being a survivr" update, the Ghillie Suit is the only skin that changes color with the map it's featured in, changing to the color of the ground of each map.
- Due to this, the same update also removed the variants of the Ghillie Suits due to fact that the variants were deemed obsolete with the change.
- There was also a problem in the inferno event where the ghillie suit did not camouflage with the black ground.
- If you have equipped some sort of melee fist skin (like Frostpunch or Split the diff), the Ghillie Suit will not hide the fists, making them extremely visible.
- In the Woods Map, the Ghillie still retains its original hex from the Normal Map, thus rendering it useless for camouflage.
- The backpack color is the same color that the Small Pack had before the skins determined backpack colors, however it is hidden so it will never show up in the first place.
