Galil AR | Aqua Terrace

Origin Story

The Galil AR | Aqua Terrace features a geometric motif in metallic teal, blue, and white paints, giving it a clean, aquatic appearance. This skin was introduced on May 26, 2015, as part of The Rising Sun Collection during Operation Bloodhound. It is regarded as a rare, high-end collectible and status piece within the community, often highlighted as an expensive, niche item for collectors. Its distinct visual identity and scarcity make it a sought-after piece for those building themed inventories or completing the discontinued Rising Sun Collection.

Drop Chance

Galil AR | Aqua Terrace is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Rising Sun Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Mil-Spec drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 2 other Mil-Spec 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.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.7. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($299.36): The metallic teal, light blue, and white geometric patterns are fully vibrant and clean, with maximal sheen and no visible scratches.
• Minimal Wear ($198.44): The overall design remains very close to Factory New, with strong color saturation, though subtle loss of gloss or faint wear may appear on the front handguard and magazine edges.
• Field-Tested ($143.00): Noticeable edge wear begins to appear on the receiver, stock, and handguard, dulling the metallic effect, but the geometric motif remains clearly visible.
• Well-Worn ($158.76): Heavier wear and dulling are present, with more pronounced greying along sharp edges and on the magazine; the pattern is recognizable but appears more muted.
• Battle-Scarred ($228.40): Extensive wear covers large areas, with the metallic finish looking very faded or dirty, and the geometric motif is partially obscured by wear on key surfaces.
