Galil AR | Winter Forest

Origin Story

The Galil AR | Winter Forest, released on August 14, 2013, as part of The Arms Deal update, emerged from The Office Collection. It features a forest camouflage hydrographic, painted with a muted palette of greens, browns, and off-whites to evoke a snow-covered woodland. This skin is primarily valued as a piece of early CS:GO history, appealing to those completing The Office Collection or seeking nostalgic Arms Deal-era loadouts. Its flavor text, "The woods can be a dangerous place... never travel alone," reinforces its survival and camouflage theme.

Drop Chance

Galil AR | Winter Forest is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Office Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Industrial Grade drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 2 other Industrial Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Float range 0.06 to 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The forest camouflage pattern is crisp and fully opaque across the weapon, with virtually no chipping on edges.
• Minimal Wear ($72.52): The camo pattern remains almost identical to Factory New, with only minor wear visible under close inspection on sharp edges and contact points, making it a strong value tier.
• Field-Tested ($32.83): Visible edge wear and small patches of exposed base metal appear on high-contact surfaces like the foregrip and magazine, though the camo still dominates.
• Well-Worn ($42.03): The camo appears substantially worn, with multiple areas, especially the foregrip and magazine corners, showing exposed base color, and colors looking more muted.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): Extensive chipping and fading are present, with large areas of the base coat visible and the pattern appearing washed-out and fragmented, especially on edges and corners.

Sticker Compatibility

The Galil AR | Winter Forest's muted greens, browns, and greyish whites pair well with green, white, grey, silver, or brown stickers for a cohesive look. For strong contrast, bright red, neon pink, or vibrant blue stickers will stand out against the subdued winter camouflage. The rear body and magazine-adjacent sticker slots are most visible during gameplay, especially during reloads.
