It suits players building colorful weapon crafts and collectors drawn to reflective artwork.

Description

Great Wave (Holo) is a standalone CS2 sticker with a Holo finish, unrelated to any team or player. The artwork forms a curling wave around a hollow black center, with foamy tips and an irregular, rounded outline. Cream and mint green cover the crest, while blue, purple, magenta, and orange flow through the right side and lower wave. A thin green edge traces much of the silhouette, and no lettering interrupts the design. It can be applied to any weapon skin to add a colorful, reflective accent. Scraping gradually wears the applied sticker, and enough scraping permanently removes it. The design suits wave-themed crafts and collectors who prefer artwork without team branding.

History and Origin

Great Wave (Holo) was released on September 21, 2021. Its debut accompanied the "Operation Riptide" update. The sticker arrived with the Operation Riptide Stickers. Valve created the artwork, rather than a community designer. It was included in Operation Riptide Sticker Collection.

Rarity and Popularity

Its Remarkable grade sits above High Grade and below Exotic and Extraordinary on the sticker rarity ladder. The drop chance from the Operation Riptide Stickers is 4.03%, or about 1 in 25 drops. The shifting Holo finish and curling wave artwork give it appeal for colorful weapon crafts.

Film

The Holo film shifts color as lighting and viewing angles change in game. Unlike a plain Paper sticker's flat print, this finish adds a reflective holographic layer. On this design, the multicolored sheen highlights the curling wave and its foamy crest.

Price Range

Live listings range from — to —. Prices vary between marketplaces and change over time. The Holo film, Remarkable grade, capsule odds, and buyer demand help shape its price. Scraping affects an applied sticker's appearance, and the sticker cannot be sold separately once attached to a weapon skin.
