Chromatic Aberration was introduced with the Recoil Case in July 2022, part of a CS:GO update that brought a new active-rotation case. The design uses the optical phenomenon of chromatic aberration — where colour channels are offset — as its central visual concept.

Chromatic Aberration occupies the Covert slot in the actively-dropping Recoil Case, keeping it in consistent supply while its bold visual concept maintains buyer interest.
Covert is the highest standard container rarity, with weighted drop odds of roughly 1 in 384 per Recoil Case opening before exterior selection.
Obtainable from the Recoil Case, currently part of the active weekly drop rotation. The maximum float of 0.7 limits Battle-Scarred to the range of 0.45–0.70; no extreme high-float examples exist. StatTrak™ versions are available.
Available in Factory New through Battle-Scarred, though Battle-Scarred is capped at 0.70. StatTrak™ variants track kills across all accessible exteriors.
Offset colour channel application creating a chromatic aberration visual effect across the weapon body, with colour fringing and layered tonal splits producing the characteristic split-image appearance.
Chromatic Aberration is appreciated for its creative execution of an optical concept rarely applied in skin design. The Recoil Case placement means it remains accessible, and Factory New examples are valued for the sharpest visual presentation of the effect.
