R8 Revolver | Crazy 8

Origin Story

The R8 Revolver | Crazy 8, released on July 1, 2022, as part of The Recoil Collection, features a bold purple barrel and a prominent number 8 on its grip. This design choice is directly inspired by the events of December 8th, 2015, as noted in its flavor text. As a Restricted rarity skin from the Recoil Case, it serves as a mid-tier collector's item within the collection. The skin's distinctive purple and "8" motif makes it a thematic choice for loadouts referencing its specific inspiration.

Drop Chance

R8 Revolver | Crazy 8 is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Recoil Case: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Recoil Case (about 1 in 313). 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.
