Origin Story
The R8 Revolver | Amber Fade was released on December 8, 2015, as part of CS:GO’s Winter Update and included in The Dust 2 Collection. The in-game flavor text describes it as "a conversation piece," highlighting its visual appeal. This Classified rarity skin is a notable item from a legacy collection, making it a point of interest for collectors.
Drop Chance
R8 Revolver | Amber Fade is Classified, a Pink-tier skin, rare with strong collector demand. It has appeared across 11 tournament packages, most recently the Katowice 2019 Dust II Souvenir Package, London 2018 Dust II Souvenir Package, and MLG Columbus 2016 Dust II 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 Dust 2 Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Classified skins like Amber Fade are a small fraction of total package contents. 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.
Skin Condition
Float range 0 to 0.4. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn. StatTrak is not available for this skin. Factory New (No Recent Price): The gold, orange, and green gradient colors appear bright and metallic, with a strong chrome reflection on the cylinder and frame. Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): Colors remain very close to Factory New, with only slight loss of sheen on small edge areas like the barrel tip and sharp corners of the frame. Field-Tested (No Recent Price): Noticeable dulling of the metallic sheen occurs on the cylinder and frame, with small surface scratches becoming more visible on the front of the barrel and high spots. Well-Worn (No Recent Price): The strongest dulling within the available range makes the chrome base reflect less, and colors appear more muted and matte-like, with broader wear patches on the barrel and frame.
Model
Amber Fade uses the legacy R8 Revolver model, introduced with CS:GO’s Winter Update on December 8, 2015. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
