Five-SeveN | Boost Protocol (Minimal Wear)
Highly accurate and armor-piercing, the pricy Five-Seven is a slow-loader that compensates with a generous 20-round magazine and forgiving recoil. It has been custom painted using high contrast colors. The robot icon beneath the rear sight matches the art on the slide.

Description
Five-SeveN | Boost Protocol is a CS2 weapon skin originally introduced in the CS:GO era and carried forward for use in CS2 under its legacy model. It belongs to The Operation Riptide Collection, making it a recognizable pick for players who collect themed releases from Operation-era drops.
As a Restricted rarity skin, Boost Protocol sits in the mid-tier bracket of weapon appearances—more exclusive than Consumer-grade items, but still attainable compared to rarer tiers. While exact drop odds can vary by game settings and container mechanics, Restricted skins are generally less common than lower rarities, making them a popular target for players farming cases like the Operation Riptide Case.
The skin is available in multiple wears: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, and Well-Worn. StatTrak is available, allowing you to track kills with the Five-SeveN, but Souvenir is not available for this release. These options give players flexibility depending on whether they prioritize clean visuals (lower float) or a more battle-worn look.
Visually, Boost Protocol is defined by its energized, tech-inspired styling, highlighted by bold contrasts and a dynamic pattern that complements the Five-SeveN’s compact profile. The listed float range of 0.00 to 0.41 means collectors can also target lower-wear appearances for a sharper finish, especially if they’re aiming for Factory New or Minimal Wear.
To obtain it, look for Five-SeveN | Boost Protocol inside Operation Riptide Case, where it can be unboxed as part of The Operation Riptide Collection. Because it’s tied to a specific case release, it’s often sought by players who prefer collecting complete sets or building a consistent inventory theme across matched collections.
In the community, Boost Protocol is generally appreciated for its clean, modern “boost/energy” aesthetic and its ability to stand out without relying on extreme rarity. The combination of Restricted status, StatTrak availability, and multiple wear options helps it remain a go-to choice for players who want a distinctive Five-SeveN finish that feels both collectible and practical.
