R8 Revolver | Reboot

Origin Story

The R8 Revolver | Reboot, released on June 16, 2016, as part of the Gamma Collection, brings a tech-inspired look to the revolver. It features red accents over silver and black panels, creating a futuristic, "rebooted hardware" appearance. This Custom Paint Job finish evokes the aesthetic of a high-tech device. The skin was introduced with the Gamma Exposure update and remains a Restricted-grade option within the Gamma series.

Drop Chance

R8 Revolver | Reboot is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Gamma Case: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Gamma Case (about 1 in 313). 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 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($16.14): The red accents and silver and black panels are fully intact and crisp, with sharp line work and clean edges that present a new hardware look.
• Minimal Wear ($3.49): The overall appearance remains very close to Factory New, with only slight dulling or micro-chipping beginning on the most exposed edges of the barrel or frame corners.
• Field-Tested ($1.67): Noticeable wear appears on the barrel edges, front muzzle area, and side panel corners, with the red accent lines starting to lose uniformity and some silver and black surfaces showing muted color.
• Well-Worn ($1.38): Wear becomes pronounced across the frame, with larger patches of faded or missing paint on edges and high-touch areas, softening the contrast between panels and making red accents appear patchy.
• Battle-Scarred ($1.34): Large portions of the outer edges and high-contact parts show heavy fading and chipping, with some areas appearing washed-out, though the core panel layout remains identifiable.

Model

Reboot uses the legacy R8 Revolver model, introduced with Gamma Exposure on June 16, 2016. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
