R8 Revolver | Blaze (Factory New)

The R8 Revolver | Blaze in Factory New (FN) shows tongues of flame in red, orange and yellow over a dark chrome base, with a bright orange barrel. This wear carries a float of 0.00 to 0.07. The rank is Mil-Spec, and the revolver belongs to The 2021 Train Collection.

What the R8 Revolver | Blaze looks like in Factory New

The finish is airbrushed: translucent paints lie over a chrome base, so the fire glows with a metallic gleam. The barrel and the top of the frame are orange, while lower on the side of the frame red and yellow flames burn. The cylinder and trigger guard are dark, the laser mount is light, and the grip is light gray.

In Factory New the chrome base is untouched, and the shine under the translucent paint is visible in full. Wear is recorded at the drop, so a copy keeps this look permanently.

Where the R8 Revolver | Blaze came from

The R8 Revolver | Blaze appeared on September 22, 2021, when The 2021 Train Collection was added to the game.

What to check before buying

When choosing the R8 Revolver | Blaze, pay attention to the following:

• float: from 0.00 to 0.07, against a ceiling of 0.08 for the finish;


• the orange barrel and the edges of the frame, where paint wear shows first;


• any stickers and name tag the copy already carries.

The 0.00 to 0.07 band is short, so differences between listings fall within the margin of error. The finish's scale ends at 0.08, and Factory New takes almost all of it.

What the R8 Revolver | Blaze costs in Factory New

The finish comes in two wears, and Minimal Wear costs a few percent more than Factory New. Minimal Wear's band is 0.07 to 0.08, one hundredth of the scale, and over that stretch the price hardly departs from Factory New.

Among the nine Mil-Spec revolvers in this wear, the finish is third by price: only R8 Revolver | Memento and R8 Revolver | Crimson Web cost more. The nearest one below is R8 Revolver | Tango, slightly cheaper. The bottom places belong to R8 Revolver | Bone Forged, R8 Revolver | Grip and R8 Revolver | Survivalist.

Getting the R8 Revolver | Blaze

No CS2 case holds this skin.

A trade-up contract does not lead here. A trade-up returns a rank above what you put in, and Mil-Spec in The 2021 Train Collection is the set's bottom rank, so there is nothing to put under it.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The R8 Revolver | Blaze never had a StatTrak version. Souvenir copies exist, but the finish had no packages, as those were made only for tournament map collections. Such copies are made through the Souvenir-O-Matic, which fits gold tournament stickers and a player autograph onto a regular skin from your inventory.

Stickers and craft on the R8 Revolver | Blaze

The flame artwork is bright and fills the side of the frame, so stickers look better on the free dark and gray areas. Black and dark blue stickers get lost in the fire, while white and silver ones read at once.

Who this wear suits

Buying in Factory New makes sense in these cases:

• you want a bright orange-and-red revolver for a CS2 loadout, with zero paint wear;


• a float near zero matters to you, and Minimal Wear costs almost the same;


• you want a Mil-Spec skin with chrome shine under translucent paint.

The finish comes in two wears: it was never released below Minimal Wear.
