Galil AR | Crimson Tsunami

Origin Story

The Galil AR | Crimson Tsunami, released on March 16, 2017, as part of The Spectrum Collection, features a spray-painted blue wave pattern set against a maroon base. Its design evokes the feeling of "Westward breaks," as noted in its flavor text. The most prominent visual element is the wave pattern across the weapon's body. This skin's appearance changes across its float range of 0 to 0.55, allowing it to exist in all five standard wear tiers.

Drop Chance

Galil AR | Crimson Tsunami is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Spectrum 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 Spectrum 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 0.55. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($20.27): The maroon base and blue wave pattern appear in their cleanest state, with sharp edges.
• Minimal Wear ($5.10): Only slight wear is visible on the edges, with the blue wave pattern remaining largely intact.
• Field-Tested ($2.46): More noticeable edge wear begins to appear, and the spray-painted finish may show some dulling.
• Well-Worn ($2.56): The paint integrity is noticeably reduced, especially on high-contact surfaces, though the pattern is still discernible.
• Battle-Scarred ($2.32): This tier shows the most significant chipping and fading of the maroon base and blue wave pattern.

Model

Crimson Tsunami uses the legacy Galil AR model, introduced with Take a trip to the Canals on March 16, 2017. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
