R8 Revolver | Crazy 8 (Factory New)

For the R8 Revolver | Crazy 8, Factory New (FN) takes the float from 0.00 to 0.07. That is only 7% of the skin's scale, and of the five wears this is the dearest. The rank is Restricted; the revolver drops from the Recoil Case and in CS2 can carry StatTrak.

What the R8 Revolver | Crazy 8 looks like in Factory New

The top of the revolver is purple: the barrel and the rail run in a gradient, and the black crosses on the paint look like marks on a map. The cylinder stays dark with pale green chevrons, and the same color draws the large 8 on the brown-gray grip.

In Factory New the paint lies whole, with no scuffs, and the gradient on the barrel passes smoothly with no breaks.

Where the R8 Revolver | Crazy 8 came from

The skin came out with the Recoil Case on July 4, 2022. The Recoil Collection was opened in the game then, and the skin was in it from day one. In its note for the release, Valve speaks of seventeen finishes from community artists.

What to check before buying

A few checks are worth making before paying:

• the float: the 0.00 to 0.07 band is tight and the gap between listings is hard to catch, but near zero the paint is flawless;


• whether this R8 Revolver | Crazy 8 carries stickers and a name tag;


• whether the copy is StatTrak or regular.

The artwork carries over from listing to listing without change.

What the R8 Revolver | Crazy 8 costs in Factory New

The four other wears are all cheaper. Minimal Wear costs three times less, Battle-Scarred five and a half times less, and Field-Tested and Well-Worn six and a half and seven times less. The gap is large even for a narrow band.

Of three Restricted R8 revolvers, the skin sits in the middle: in this wear Reboot costs a little over double, and Banana Cannon is slightly cheaper.

Getting the R8 Revolver | Crazy 8
