Galil AR | CAUTION!

Origin Story

The Galil AR | CAUTION! entered CS2 on September 22, 2021, as part of The 2021 Vertigo Collection, released alongside Operation Riptide. This rifle is recognized for its high contrast black and yellow chevrons, which evoke the look of hazard tape and industrial warning markings. Its design aligns with the construction-site aesthetic of the Vertigo map, making it a thematically strong piece within its collection. The CAUTION! is considered a niche, collection-focused skin, valued by those completing Vertigo sets or collecting souvenir items.

Drop Chance

Galil AR | CAUTION! is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. It has appeared across 6 tournament packages, most recently the Rio 2022 Vertigo Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Vertigo Souvenir Package, and Stockholm 2021 Vertigo 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 2021 Vertigo Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Restricted skins like CAUTION! are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 2 other Restricted 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 0.55. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($176.14): Yellow and black chevrons appear sharp, fully saturated, and continuous, with minimal or no visible scratches on the handguard or magazine.
• Minimal Wear ($128.71): Small, localized edge wear begins at the front handguard, barrel edge, and magazine corners, with the pattern remaining very close to Factory New.
• Field-Tested ($68.45): Noticeable edge chipping and light mid-body wear appear, with yellow chevrons becoming marginally dulled on high-contact surfaces, though the pattern remains fully identifiable.
• Well-Worn ($65.92): More pronounced chipping is evident on the front and rear edges, and the yellow looks noticeably faded in several zones, making the weapon appear heavily used.
• Battle-Scarred ($71.27): Significant overall fading and large areas of exposed base material or heavily thinned paint give the skin a gritty, used industrial look, while yellow chevrons remain discernible mid-body.
