The Recoil Collection

All collections

The Recoil Collection released on 1 July 2022 with the A New Cassssssse update. It drops from the Recoil Case and is carried by the USP-S Printstream, one of the best pistol finishes in the game.

The rest of the collection is affordable; the Printstream is the whole reason to look at it.

The rare item: USP-S Printstream

The USP-S Printstream is a black-and-white design with printed grayscale weapon icons, part of the popular Printstream family and one of the most wanted pistol skins in the game. Factory New and StatTrak copies reach into the hundreds, with the AWP Chromatic Aberration as the second Covert.

"One skin, the USP-S Printstream, is the whole reason to look at Recoil."

Where the skins come from

Recoil Collection skins drop from the Recoil Case, a glove case. Compare live prices on our markets page.

Trade-up contracts

You can trade up ten same-rarity skins from this collection toward the tier above, and since 2025 you can craft gloves from five Covert items. The expected value is negative, so craft for the item, not the profit.

As a collector item

Recoil is a mid-age case collection with solid supply. The USP-S Printstream gives it a recognisable anchor skin that supports demand. As a hold it is a slow burn tied to the wider case market.
