Release and collection context

The Genesis Collection was introduced on September 16, 2025 and is acquired through the Genesis Terminal. Its 17 named finishes cover several weapon classes and rarity tiers. The roster includes SCAR-20 | Caged, AUG | Trigger Discipline, P2000 | Red Wing and MP9 | Broken Record; higher tiers include AWP | Ice Coaled, Glock-18 | Mirror Mosaic, M4A4 | Full Throttle and AK-47 | The Oligarch. Terminal offers provide the acquisition context, while the named weapon-finish pairs identify the cosmetics. None changes the underlying weapon’s combat properties.

A collection groups cosmetic finishes under one named set. Each entry remains a weapon-and-finish pair, so the set identifies provenance and rarity while the weapon page explains its combat role. Current acquisition availability can change; the release date remains historical context.

Rarity and item use

Rarity tiers describe where a finish sits within this collection. They do not alter damage, recoil, rate of fire or movement. Exterior and pattern presentation belong to the individual cosmetic item, while collection membership identifies the larger set. Browse Weapon Skins and Collections for related systems.

Collection finishes are cosmetic loadout items used to customize the named weapon. A dated collection should not be confused with an active map pool, a game expansion or a change to weapon behavior.
