AK-47 | Aphrodite (Battle-Scarred)

The Battle-Scarred (BS) AK-47 | Aphrodite has the longest float band of this finish, more than half of its scale: 0.45 to 1.00. It is a Covert skin, and in CS2 it counts as a limited-edition item that sits in no case or collection.

What the AK-47 | Aphrodite looks like in Battle-Scarred

The skin divides the rifle in two by material. The handguard, stock and magazine are painted to look pearlescent: pale, pinkish, with a soft shimmer. The receiver, top cover and barrel carry metallic paint in an olive-gold shade, clearly darker than the wood. The grip is orange-brown with diamond checkering, and the base of the magazine is copper.

Battle-Scarred is where this finish is most worn: the pearl on the light parts dulls, scuffs collect along edges and corners, and the golden metal darkens in the recesses. The relief and checkering stay in place. A copy's float is fixed at the moment it drops and stays the same.

In this wear the AK-47 | Aphrodite spans 0.45 to 1.00, a range that holds both nearly clean bodies and visibly beaten ones.

What to check before buying

Three points are worth looking at on a copy:

• pattern: Valve's note "The Fourth Season", published January 21, 2026, says the finish differs in both wear and pattern, and that pearl and patina settle differently;


• float: the band is long, and the number decides how much shimmer is left on the light wood;


• name tag and stickers: on this skin they stay with the listing.

Variation in pattern is the main price factor after float, so two listings in the same wear are compared by how they look, not by the label.

What the AK-47 | Aphrodite costs in Battle-Scarred

Priced against Battle-Scarred, the remaining wears line up as follows:

• Factory New costs about twenty times as much;


• Minimal Wear costs about twice as much;


• Field-Tested costs about two fifths more;


• Well-Worn is cheaper by a few percent.

The gap up to Factory New is enormous, even for a Covert skin. The three lower wears differ little, and all of them sit well below Minimal Wear.

Among Covert AK-47s, the Aphrodite in this wear is priced below every other one. AK-47 | The Oligarch, AK-47 | Head Shot, AK-47 | Aquamarine Revenge and AK-47 | Inheritance cost about two and a half times as much. AK-47 | Legion of Anubis costs nearly three times as much. The top of the row is AK-47 | Fire Serpent, AK-47 | Gold Arabesque and AK-47 | Wild Lotus.

Where the AK-47 | Aphrodite came from

The artist is Valve itself, and the Steam Workshop holds no submission for this finish. The skin appeared on January 21, 2026, when a limited-edition item was added to the game. Valve's catalog numbers the finish 1397. The item description says the receiver and barrel are painted with metallic paint and the handguard and stock with pearlescent paint.

Getting the AK-47 | Aphrodite

The AK-47 | Aphrodite does not drop from cases. It is a limited-edition item from the Armory, bought with credits that build up from experience earned in matches. It belongs to no collection. A ready copy is picked from other players' listings.

StatTrak and Souvenir

No StatTrak version of the AK-47 | Aphrodite has been released. There were no souvenir packages for this finish either, because those were made only for tournament map collections. A souvenir copy can still be assembled by hand: the Souvenir-O-Matic applies golden tournament stickers and a player autograph to a regular skin from your inventory. That is why a few souvenir copies turn up from time to time where no packages ever existed.

Stickers and craft on the AK-47 | Aphrodite

The light wood of the handguard and stock is the most open spot for a sticker: dark and bright ones both show on the cream-pink ground. The golden metal of the receiver is friendly to warm tones: bronze, gold, copper.

Loud stickers on the pearl fight with the shimmer, so calm white and silver ones preserve the look of the finish best.

Who this wear suits

Battle-Scarred is the right wear for the AK-47 | Aphrodite if:

• you want the most affordable Covert AK-47 with a pearlescent finish;


• pearl and pattern matter more than the condition of the body;


• you want an item with a history in CS2: the limited release of January 2026.

If you want a brighter shimmer, Field-Tested is the closest: it costs about two fifths more, while Factory New is already twenty times higher.
