R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon

Origin Story

The R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon, released on February 10, 2023, as part of The Revolution Collection, features a playful design. Its custom paint job makes the revolver resemble a very ripe banana, complete with darker accents. This whimsical theme is reinforced by its flavor text, "Catch them slipping." The skin's Gunsmith finish allows for intricate detailing, contributing to its distinct appearance.

Drop Chance

R8 Revolver | Banana Cannon is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Revolution 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 Revolution Case (about 1 in 313).

• Factory New ($4.49): The custom painted banana motif appears pristine and fully saturated, with no visible wear or scratches on the yellow areas or darker accents.
• Minimal Wear ($1.03): Fine edge wear may begin to appear on high-contact points like the muzzle or cylinder edges, but the banana-yellow remains vibrant.
• Field-Tested ($0.51): Visible scratches and small areas of paint wear develop on the edges and some flat surfaces, slightly dulling the banana colors.
• Well-Worn ($0.49): More extensive wear is present, particularly around the barrel and cylinder, with increased exposure of underlying metal or base layers.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.50): Heavy paint loss and significant wear cover large portions of the skin, making the banana theme less distinct, though the overall "battle-worn" look is pronounced.
