R8 Revolver | Skull Crusher

R8 Revolver | Skull Crusher is a Classified pistol skin from the Prisma Case. The “Skull Crusher” finish is applied to the R8 Revolver. Each unboxing requires the case plus a $2.49 key.

The R8 Revolver costs $600 and features two fire modes: a precise hammer-cock shot and a quick hip-fire fan. It was infamously overpowered on release in December 2015, one-shotting to the stomach at any range before being patched within days.

R8 Revolver | Skull Crusher has a float range of 0.25 to 0.80 and is available in 3 wear conditions. In CS2, the float value is permanent — set at drop time and unchangeable. It controls how scratched or clean a skin looks within its wear tier. Extreme floats carry significant premiums: 0.00x copies are prized for their clean look, while 0.999x Battle-Scarred copies like the iconic AWP Asiimov "Blackiimov" are collector's items. Some skins are float-capped and cannot exist in certain wear conditions.

A StatTrak version of this skin is available. StatTrak technology uses an LED counter built into the weapon model that tracks confirmed kills in official matches. StatTrak skins have roughly a 10% chance to drop from each case opening and typically command higher prices than their normal counterparts. Note that the kill counter resets to zero when the skin is traded between players.

As a Classified item, R8 Revolver | Skull Crusher has a 1.0666% chance per opening (1 in 94). Rarity in CS2 directly affects both supply and price. Higher-rarity skins drop less often, which keeps their market value elevated relative to common drops from the same case.

Prices shown are sourced from Steam Community Market and CSFloat, updated every 6 hours. Additional data from Skinport, Buff163, and YouPin. The Steam Community Market charges 15% total fees (5% Steam fee + 10% CS2 game fee), while third-party sites offer lower rates — CSFloat at 2%, Buff163 at 2.5%, and Skinport around 8% — with real-money cashout options. Beyond wear and float, the pattern index (seed 1–999) also affects price for certain finishes like Case Hardened and Fade, where specific patterns can multiply value many times over.
