Skins from The 2021 Vertigo Collection are only available for purchase for Operation Riptide Premium Pass holders.
The 2021 Vertigo Collection is a Valve-made collection of CS:GO skins introduced on 22 September 2021. The collection consists of 5 consumer skins, 4 industrial skins, 4 mil-spec skins, 3 restricted skins, 2 classified skins, and 1 covert skins.
The 2021 Vertigo collection is the successor to the Vertigo collection which was introduced over eight years prior on 14 August 2013.
CS:GO skins from this collection can be obtained by spending four stars in the Operation Riptide shop.
It was speculated within the community that this collection would appear in a souvenir package at the PGL Major Stockholm 2021. This speculation was proven true with the release of the Stockholm 2021 Vertigo Souvenir Package.
The collection has received polarising feedback within the CS:GO community with some criticising the skin patterns available, particularly the covert status of the M4A1-S Imminent Danger. However, praise has been given to the MAG-7 Prism Terrace which uses a similar base coat as the AWP Gungnir.
