Negev | Bulkhead

Origin Story

The Negev Bulkhead was released on September 1, 2018, as part of The 2018 Nuke Collection, coinciding with the FACEIT 2018 - Ways to Watch update. Its hydrographic pattern features interweaving pipes, giving the weapon an industrial and functional appearance. The design emphasizes a sense of robust construction, aligning with its flavor text, "Hold strong." This skin is available in a Souvenir version.

Drop Chance

Negev | Bulkhead is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It has appeared across 11 tournament packages, most recently the Rio 2022 Nuke Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Nuke Souvenir Package, and Stockholm 2021 Nuke Souvenir Package.


Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The 2018 Nuke Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Industrial Grade skins like Bulkhead are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 3 other Industrial Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.
