R8 Revolver | Grip

Origin Story

The R8 Revolver | Grip, released on February 16, 2018, as part of the Welcome to the Clutch update and The Clutch Collection, features a dark gunmetal frame complemented by a patterned blue rubber grip. Its in-game description highlights the meticulously pressed metal and the coated grip, which provides the primary visual accent. The skin utilizes a Gunsmith finish, combining multiple materials for a realistic, industrial appearance. As a Mil-Spec rarity item within the Clutch Collection, it serves as a standard sidearm skin.

Drop Chance

R8 Revolver | Grip is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Clutch Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Clutch Case (about 1 in 88). 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 ($1.87): Metal surfaces are clean and crisp with sharp details, and the blue rubber grip is vibrant and evenly patterned.

• Field-Tested ($0.25): Noticeable wear appears on the frame edges, barrel front, and cylinder, with the blue grip starting to show light scratches or faded sections.
• Well-Worn ($0.20): Metal surfaces have more substantial worn patches, and the blue grip appears noticeably dulled with less vibrant patterning.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.23): Metal surfaces are very dull and heavily worn with large scraped areas, and the blue rubber grip is significantly faded with pronounced scuffs.

Grip uses the legacy R8 Revolver model, introduced with Welcome to the Clutch on February 16, 2018. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

For direct purchase, the R8 Revolver | Grip can be found on the Steam Community Market, third-party marketplaces, and various case-opening or skin trading sites.

Visual Theme

Gunsmith: The metal has been meticulously pressed and the grip has been coated with a patterned, blue rubber. The revolver features dark gunmetal and black metal on the frame and cylinder, accented by the blue rubber grip. From a first-person perspective, the blue rubber grip and the adjacent metal frame are the most prominent elements.

Sticker Compatibility

Stickers with blue or teal themes would complement the R8 Revolver | Grip's blue rubber handle, while white, silver, or other light neutral stickers could provide a strong contrast against the dark metal frame. For optimal visibility during gameplay, stickers are best placed on the side of the frame and near the cylinder.
