Operation Hydra, Operation Wildfire and Operation Bloodhound

Operations Hydra, Wildfire and Bloodhound would award CS:GO players who held an active operation pass, a random skin from one of the following collections: Cache, Chop Shop, Cobblestone, Gods and Monsters, Overpass and Rising Sun.

The Chop Shop, Gods and Monsters and Rising Sun collections were introduced at the beginning of Operation Bloodhound and continued to be used in subsequent operations before being discontinued on 13 November 2017 with the conclusion of Operation Hydra.

The Overpass and Cache collections continue to be available as souvenir packages during CS:GO majors. The Cobblestone collection however, has not been available as a souvenir package since the end of ELEAGUE Major: Boston 2018.

These collections would drop skins through the weekly drop scheme instead of the Active Collection drop pool only to those players who have the current CS:GO operation pass.


Active Collections

Active Collections drop skins through the weekly drop scheme. The weekly drop scheme resets every Wednesday and will randomly award a player with a skin from one of the active collections or a random graffiti.

The active collection drop pool was last changed in 2018 with the additions of 2018 Inferno and 2018 Nuke.

In-active Collections are not available through the weekly drop scheme. The skins from these collections can only be acquired through opening souvenir packages or gift packages, or through trading and the Steam Community Market.


Retired Collections

Retired Collections do not drop at all making it impossible to acquire any of the skins from these collections except through trading or the Steam Community Market.

The Blacksite Collection was only available during the first few weeks of the launch of the Dangerzone game-mode.
