Galil AR | Crimson Tsunami (Factory New)

The Galil AR | Crimson Tsunami is a Restricted skin from The Spectrum Collection. In Factory New (FN) its float runs from 0.00 to 0.07. It is a Terrorist-side Galil with a red top and a cream bottom, and for CS2 it is one of the most recognizable wave patterns. It drops from the Spectrum Case, and a StatTrak version exists.

What the Galil AR | Crimson Tsunami looks like in Factory New

The top of the rifle is flooded with red, and the bottom is painted with cream waves and brown strokes. The pattern resembles the crests of water. The border runs roughly horizontally: everything above the receiver is red, and everything below and behind it is cream. The barrel, gas tube, front sight and muzzle are red as well.

In the cream zones you see elongated crests with a curl at the end, like a stylized wave. The waves are larger on the stock and smaller on the magazine. Dark green patches show near the lower edge of the magazine. Valve's description speaks of a blue wave pattern on a burgundy background, but on the model the waves are cream.

The red layer on the barrel and receiver is mottled, with rusty transitions. In Factory New the float band of 0.00 to 0.07 is narrow, and wear is minimal.

What to check before buying

What sets one Galil AR | Crimson Tsunami listing apart from another comes down to a few things:

• Float: the scale gives this wear only 0.00 to 0.07, so copies look alike;


• stickers from a previous owner and a name tag on the Galil AR | Crimson Tsunami;


• the kill counter, if you are taking the StatTrak version.

The Galil AR | Crimson Tsunami has no two different patterns.

• you want a Galil with solid red paint and a clean wave pattern;


• the border between the red top and the cream bottom, with no worn edges, matters to you;
