FAMAS | Pulse

FAMAS | Pulse released December 18, 2013 as part of the Winter Offensive Weapon Case.

It originally released during the CS:GO era, before Valve's Counter-Strike 2 relaunch in September 2023 — its artwork, wear range, and source carried over unchanged into CS2.

It launched as a Restricted-tier finish, with both a StatTrak™ and a Souvenir edition.

As a finish, "Pulse" is applied to the FAMAS — the Terrorists' burst-capable rifle, cheaper than the AK-47 with a fast rate of fire in burst mode — and carries the purple rarity color every Restricted-tier skin shares on the Steam Market and in-game.

That Restricted classification places it in the middle of the rarity ladder — rarer than Mil-Spec Grade, but short of the Classified and Covert tiers above it.

FAMAS | Pulse only ships in 4 of the five wear conditions (Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn) — there's no Battle-Scarred release for this finish.

As with every CS2 skin, lower float values look cleaner: Factory New copies (roughly below 0.07 float) show the finish at its sharpest, while Field-Tested and Well-Worn pieces make up the most commonly traded middle ground between mint and heavily worn.

FAMAS | Pulse comes from the Winter Offensive Weapon Case — the Case is no longer part of the active drop pool, so trading and the Steam Community Market are the ways to acquire it today.

Valve's own published Case odds put a Restricted-tier pull like this one at roughly 1 in 25 (3.9950%).

There's both a StatTrak™ and a Souvenir edition of this finish, alongside the Normal version — three ways to own the same look, differing only in that badge.

Beyond that, there's no separate "phase" or pattern family tied to this finish in the site's data — it's tracked as a single fixed look across every wear condition it ships in.

As a Restricted-tier finish, FAMAS | Pulse sits among the more common pulls from the Winter Offensive Weapon Case rather than being a chase item — a straightforward, affordable way to add a FAMAS skin to a loadout or collection.

Its StatTrak™ and Souvenir editions tend to trade at a premium over the Normal version, the same pattern seen across most CS2 skins with that variant available.

FAMAS | Pulse has been part of the Winter Offensive Weapon Case since December 18, 2013, and like every CS:GO-era CS2 skin, carried over unchanged when Valve relaunched the game on the Source 2 engine in 2023 — the artwork, wear range, and source Case/Collection are the same today as they were before the migration.

It's one of 4 Restricted-tier items in the Winter Offensive Weapon Case, out of 13 items total.

This is one of 44 FAMAS skins currently listed on the site, spanning multiple rarity tiers.
