Galil AR | Cerberus (Factory New)

Factory New (FN) is the top of the five wears for the Galil AR | Cerberus and the most expensive among Restricted Galils. The float band in this wear is 0.00 to 0.07. The skin comes from The Cache Collection and is made for the Terrorist side. In CS2 a Factory New copy is paint with no sign of wear.

What the Galil AR | Cerberus looks like in Factory New

The rifle is two-toned: dark green paint with a black pattern, and a bright lemon yellow. Yellow fills the handguard, gas tube, magazine and the buttplate of the stock, and on the receiver yellow patches show through the green. Valve's description says the weapon is painted with Cerberus, the three-headed dog that guards the underworld.

In Factory New the yellow areas are clean and bright, and the green is even. Wear is recorded in a copy when it drops and never grows: a lot with a float of 0.02 will look the same at any point in the future.

What to check before buying

Copies of this skin differ in only a few ways:

• the float: the wear fits inside 0.00 to 0.07, so the lots look alike;


• stickers and a name tag, which change hands together with the lot;


• the type of copy: a regular one, or a Souvenir with gold tournament stickers and a player autograph.

The artwork is applied the same way across the whole run.

Getting the Galil AR | Cerberus

The finish is not in any case. It comes from tournament Souvenir packages, twelve in all, from ESL One Cologne 2014 to Katowice 2019. For a trade-up you need ten skins one rank lower, for example Glock-18 | Reactor, MAC-10 | Nuclear Garden and Tec-9 | Toxic.

StatTrak and Souvenir

This skin never received a StatTrak version. Souvenir copies exist: they were given out in the Cache tournament packages and are also made through the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the Galil AR | Cerberus

In Factory New the paint is whole, and a sticker lies on it without scuffs underneath. Yellow stickers merge into the handguard and magazine, green ones into the receiver, while white and red read well on the dark field. The handguard and the stock offer flat spots.

Who this wear suits

Factory New is worth buying on the Galil AR | Cerberus if:

• the yellow areas have to be clean, with no scuffs on the handguard and magazine;


• you want the most expensive Restricted Galil for CS2 in untouched condition;


• you are building a loadout around The Cache Collection and care about the top float band.
