AUG | Akihabara Accept (Well-Worn)

In Well-Worn (WW), the AUG | Akihabara Accept covers a float from 0.38 to 0.45, which is seven percent of the float scale. It is an AUG with an anime collage across the body, Covert in rank, from The Rising Sun Collection.

What the AUG | Akihabara Accept looks like in Well-Worn

The finish is built as a collage of posters pasted over one another. The base is blue-violet with white and pink areas, and the posters add pink, orange and light blue. The collage takes the stock and the flank of the receiver: near the butt a girl is drawn, with large Japanese characters beside her. The magazine is purple, and the barrel, scope, grip and handguard are gray. By Valve's description, it is a heat-transfer film showing an anime magazine cover.

In Well-Worn, the light parts of the posters pick up grime first, then the edges of the receiver, where the collage seems to lift off. Wear is fixed at the drop, so a listing at 0.38 will stay cleaner than one at 0.45.

Where the AUG | Akihabara Accept came from

The finish came from Valve itself, not from the Steam Workshop. It is entry 455 in Valve's catalog, and the skin reached the game on May 26, 2015.

What to check before buying

These are worth comparing across listings:

• the float: the band of 0.38 to 0.45 is narrow, and copies are almost indistinguishable;


• the light areas of the posters and the edges of the receiver, where wear shows first;


• whatever stickers or name tag the copy came with.

You cannot buy this AUG with a "rare" pattern: every copy carries one artwork.

What the AUG | Akihabara Accept costs in Well-Worn

Against the other wears the ratios are these:

• Factory New costs 11 times as much;


• Minimal Wear costs 3.85 times as much;


• Field-Tested costs 1.55 times as much;


• Battle-Scarred costs 1.11 times less.

Of the two Covert AUG finishes, this one costs more in this wear, and the AUG | Chameleon is noticeably cheaper.

Getting the AUG | Akihabara Accept

No case drops this skin. It comes out of a trade-up contract. You put in ten skins of the rank below, any at all, and the result is drawn from the collection of one of the inputs. Ten skins all from Rising Sun steer it into that collection, but this is not a requirement.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The AUG | Akihabara Accept has no StatTrak version, and no souvenir packages were ever issued for it.

Stickers and craft on the AUG | Akihabara Accept

The collage is dense already, so stickers get lost on it. They look calmer on the gray grip and handguard. If you want a coherent look overall, match the color to the purple magazine.

Who this wear suits

Well-Worn on this AUG makes sense when:

• you want an AUG with an anime collage in CS2 at a reasonable price for the wear;


• Battle-Scarred is cheaper by only a factor of 1.11, and Well-Worn is in better condition;


• the gap to Field-Tested, a factor of 1.55, is justified by scuffs that do not bother you.
