Galil AR | Stone Cold

Origin Story

The Galil AR | Stone Cold debuted on September 17, 2015, as part of The Shadow Collection, released alongside the Shadow Boxing update. This rifle features metallic blue paint highlights, with the stock and magazine bearing a distinct designer's mark. It is recognized for its clean, modern aesthetic, often grouped with other affordable blue rifles as a good-looking alternative to higher-tier skins. The Stone Cold is also noted as a solid craft base for blue, white, or tech-themed stickers, appealing to players who appreciate a sleek, cool-toned design.

Drop Chance

Galil AR | Stone Cold is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Shadow Case: approximately 4.00% per opening (roughly 1 in 25). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 4 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.40% from the Shadow Case (about 1 in 250). 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.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.9. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($45.94): The metallic blue paint is nearly pristine, with sharp contrast against the dark grey and steel tones, appearing identical to ideal renders.
• Minimal Wear ($7.10): Minor edge wear may begin to appear on the barrel tip and front handguard edges, but the overall metallic blue finish remains very clean.
• Field-Tested ($3.64): Noticeable chipping occurs on sharper edges and high-contact areas like the front of the receiver and magazine, with the metallic blue losing some sheen.
• Well-Worn ($2.87): Heavier edge wear and patching are visible across the receiver and stock, causing the blue panels to appear more broken up by darker underlying material.
• Battle-Scarred ($2.61): Extensive wear covers the weapon, with large areas of the metallic blue and grey finish chipped away, exposing dark base metal and making the design significantly more muted.
