Galil AR | Chromatic Aberration

Origin Story

The Galil AR | Chromatic Aberration, released on May 3, 2021, as part of The Snakebite Collection, features a custom paint job with colors applied in offset positions. This creates an eye-popping, glitch-like effect across the weapon's body, characterized by vibrant magenta, cyan, and purple tones against a dark background. The design's intentionally harsh, "not so easy on the eyes" aesthetic gives the Galil a distinct visual identity. It serves as a colorful, flashy option for players seeking a mid to high-tier rifle with a bold, neon palette for their in-game inventory.

Drop Chance

Galil AR | Chromatic Aberration is Classified, a Pink-tier skin, rare with strong collector demand. From the Snakebite Case: approximately 1.07% per opening (roughly 1 in 94). The 3.2% Classified tier rate is split across 3 Classified skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.11% from the Snakebite Case (about 1 in 937). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($62.42): The magenta, cyan, and purple color channels appear with maximum vibrancy and sharp, offset positions across the receiver, magazine, and upper body.
• Minimal Wear ($9.76): Minor edge wear begins to appear, but the vibrant chromatic "glitch" effect remains largely intact across the main body panels.
• Field-Tested ($5.50): Noticeable scratches and chipping are present on high-contact edges, with the dark base possibly showing through, while larger flat areas retain strong color.
• Well-Worn ($4.93): Heavy edge wear and substantial chipping are visible, with the neon color channels appearing duller and more fragmented across the weapon.
• Battle-Scarred ($4.71): Extensive wear covers most surfaces, leaving large patches of the dark base exposed, though the core chromatic aberration motif remains visible despite heavy fading and scratches.

Visual Theme

Custom Paint Job: The colors in this custom paint job were applied in offset positions, leading to an eye-popping look. This design features dominant colors of magenta, cyan, and purple over a dark base, creating a high-contrast, glitch-like chromatic aberration motif. In first-person view, the receiver, magazine, and upper body of the Galil display the most intense color shifting and offset channels. The intentionally harsh, eye-straining aesthetic is further emphasized by the flavor text, "(Not so) easy on the eyes...".
