R8 Revolver | Nitro (Field-Tested)

Field-Tested is the go-to middle wear for the R8 Revolver | Nitro (Field-Tested, FT), an Industrial Grade sidearm finish split between black and tangerine orange. Here's how the wear reads at this level and what it means for the price.

Design

Nitro keeps its look simple: black and tangerine orange color blocking across the revolver's parts, without any added graphics. Valve designed it, tying in a line from Felix Riley, Commanding Officer: "Rona is as good as she thinks she is... she's just not old enough to realize she shouldn't point it out to everyone."

R8 Revolver | Nitro (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Float on this finish spans 0.06 to 0.80, putting Field-Tested squarely in the middle. Light scuffing appears on the edges at this stage, and the bright orange loses a touch of its punch, though the overall color split remains clearly visible and recognizable.

R8 Revolver | Nitro Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade, a common tier that sits just above the entry-level Consumer Grade on the standard weapon scale. That keeps this finish inexpensive across the board.

R8 Revolver | Nitro Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The 2018 Inferno Collection, which launched with the FACEIT 2018 update in September 2018. It has no specific weapon case, so it's sourced through the collection's drop pool or trade-ups.

R8 Revolver | Nitro Patterns

The black and orange design doesn't change from copy to copy — there's no paint-seed influence on the look, so no pattern or blue-gem variant exists to hunt for here. Only wear and float make a difference.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A regular and a Souvenir version both exist for the Nitro, but there's no StatTrak version. The Souvenir line started with the London 2018 Inferno Souvenir Package and has kept going through several later Major souvenir packages.

R8 Revolver | Nitro Price

Field-Tested prices in below Minimal Wear (MW), offering the best savings relative to Factory New (FN) while the color split still reads clearly. It remains within the finish's affordable mid-tier range overall. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Field-Tested dull the Nitro's colors much?

A little. The tangerine orange loses some brightness compared to Factory New, and light scuffing shows on the edges, but the black-and-orange split still stands out clearly. It's a reasonable trade-off for the lower price.

Is the Nitro a good beginner skin?

Its affordable mid-tier pricing and Industrial Grade rarity make it an easy, low-risk pick for anyone new to buying skins. Field-Tested in particular offers a solid look for a modest price.

Which gloves pair with a Field-Tested Nitro?

Orange-accented gloves play off the tangerine sections nicely, while black gloves lean into the darker half of the color split for a more understated pairing. Both directions keep the loadout visually consistent.
