Galil AR | Cerberus

Origin Story

The Galil AR | Cerberus, released on August 8, 2014, as part of The Cache Collection with the Cologne 2014 update, features a custom paint job depicting Cerberus, the mythical three-headed dog that guards the underworld. This design emphasizes a thematic illustration rather than a minimalist or metallic finish. Its visual identity is centered on this ancient Greek mythological creature.

Drop Chance

Galil AR | Cerberus is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. It has appeared across 12 tournament packages, most recently the Krakow 2017 Cache Souvenir Package, London 2018 Cache Souvenir Package, and MLG Columbus 2016 Cache 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 Cache Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Restricted skins like Cerberus are a small fraction of total package contents. There is 1 other Restricted skin 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.
