All 52 AWP skins in Counter-Strike 2 with images, rarity, float ranges and the cases they drop from, plus the best and most popular AWP skins.

There are 52 AWP skins in CS2 right now: 21 Covert, 14 Classified, 10 Restricted, 5 Mil-Spec Grade, 2 Industrial Grade. The most recent case with an AWP skin is the Fever Case (2025).
Best and most popular AWP skins
What each of these is known for:
- Dragon Lore (Covert, Cobblestone Collection; all five wears, no StatTrak): A painted dragon over a stone texture. Often called the most famous skin in Counter-Strike; Souvenir copies from Major matches sell for the highest prices.
- Gungnir (Covert, Norse Collection; all five wears, no StatTrak): Norse-themed silver and blue design named after Odin's spear. Its tiny supply puts it alongside the Dragon Lore at the top of the AWP market.
- Medusa (Covert, Gods and Monsters Collection; all five wears, no StatTrak): Stone-carved Greek Medusa art on a pale body. An old, rare collection AWP with a loyal collector base.
- The Prince (Covert, Canals Collection; all five wears, no StatTrak): Royal purple with gold details, from a map collection with limited drops.
- Asiimov (Covert, Operation Phoenix Weapon Case; no Factory New or Minimal Wear): The white, orange and black design that made the Asiimov name famous. Field-Tested is the classic look.
- Hyper Beast (Covert, Falchion Case; all five wears): A wild, colourful monster illustration and one of the most popular mid-price AWPs.
- Printstream (Covert, Fever Case; all five wears): Clean white and black with pearlescent highlights, part of the Printstream series across several guns.
- Lightning Strike (Covert, CS:GO Weapon Case; Factory New and Minimal Wear only): Purple lightning bolts on black. A simple, sharp look from the very first weapon case.
- Neo-Noir (Covert, Danger Zone Case; all five wears): Comic-book noir art in black, white and red.
- Wildfire (Covert, CS20 Case; all five wears): A red and orange phoenix in flames, a bright alternative to the Asiimov.
- Fade (Covert, Control Collection; Factory New and Minimal Wear only, no StatTrak): A pink, purple and yellow gradient. The amount of pink on the visible side changes the value.
- Containment Breach (Covert, Shattered Web Case; all five wears): Toxic green glow and hazard graphics.
- Desert Hydra (Covert, 2021 Mirage Collection; all five wears, no StatTrak): A multi-headed hydra over desert tones, from a low-supply map collection.
- Chromatic Aberration (Covert, Recoil Case; all five wears): Neon glitch colours that shift across the body.
Tips before you buy an AWP skin
- The AWP fills a big part of the screen when you scope, so wear is very visible; Minimal Wear is often the best value.
- The Asiimov has no Factory New or Minimal Wear, so compare Field-Tested copies by float.
- Top collection AWPs (Dragon Lore, Gungnir, Medusa, The Prince) are collector items; prices move with the whole high-end market.
- StatTrak versions of case AWPs usually cost noticeably more than normal ones.
AWP skin wear and StatTrak facts
- Only Factory New / Minimal Wear (3): Fade, Graphite, Lightning Strike. Every copy looks clean, so compare floats and patterns instead of wear.
- No Factory New (4): Asiimov, Man-o'-war, Pit Viper, Redline. The lowest float available is the "best" version.
- All five wears: 39 of 52 skins go from Factory New to Battle-Scarred.
- StatTrak: 28 of 52 AWP skins come in StatTrak (case skins); the other 24 are collection-only.
