Galil AR | Cold Fusion

Origin Story

The Galil AR | Cold Fusion, released on September 1, 2018, as part of the FACEIT 2018 London Major's "Ways to Watch" update, features a toxic, pale blue hydrographic pattern. This Industrial Grade rifle, from The 2018 Nuke Collection, is explicitly described in-game as having "A toxic, pale blue hydrographic pattern has been applied." Its design covers most of the rifle's body, with the receiver and handguard being most prominent in first-person view. The skin's overall visual identity is cold, bluish, and industrial, aligning with its "Cold Fusion" name and flavor text, "Hypotheses are never proven."

Drop Chance

Galil AR | Cold Fusion 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 Cold Fusion 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.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.83. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($1.29): The toxic pale blue hydrographic pattern appears clean and bright, with minimal edge wear.
• Minimal Wear ($0.21): The hydrographic pattern stays vibrant with small nicks on leading edges like the front of the handguard and magazine lip; this is often considered a value pick.
• Field-Tested ($0.05): Noticeable edge wear appears around the magazine, handguard edges, and barrel front, with small to moderate spots of base metal showing.
• Well-Worn ($0.05): The hydrographic pattern shows significant wear on high-contact areas, with larger patches of exposed darker metal and an overall faded blue.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.07): The hydrographic loses substantial coverage, especially around the front barrel, rear stock edges, and magazine, with large segments of base metal present.

Model

Cold Fusion uses the legacy Galil AR model, introduced with FACEIT 2018 – Ways to Watch on September 1, 2018. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
