AWP | Atheris (Factory New)

Factory New (FN) on the AWP | Atheris is the top end of the wear scale, a float band of 0.00 to 0.07. The skin is Restricted, and its case is the Prisma Case. It is the priciest wear of the finish: the others cost 3.9 to 8.5 times less.

What the AWP | Atheris looks like in Factory New

A snake is hand-painted across a blue-black base: bright green, finely scaled, lying on the stock and receiver. The rings at the muzzle and around the front lens of the scope glow green too. The barrel and bipod stay dark.

In Factory New the scales read in full and the dark background is even. Wear is fixed at drop, so a listing cannot step outside 0.00 to 0.07.

Where the AWP | Atheris came from

Graff sent the finish to the Workshop, and the submission, titled "AWP | Atheris", appeared on October 29, 2018. The skin reached the game on March 13, 2019, together with The Prisma Collection.

What to check before buying

On the AWP | Atheris it is worth checking the following:

• stickers and a name tag left on the listing by the previous owner;


• float: within 0.00 to 0.07 there is no best copy to hunt for.

The AWP | Atheris has no pattern variants, so there is nothing to choose by.

What the AWP | Atheris costs in Factory New

Every other wear sits below Factory New:

• Minimal Wear, by 3.86 times;


• Field-Tested, by 6.83 times;


• Well-Worn, by 8.37 times;

In this wear the AWP is level in price with the AWP | POP AWP, and only the AWP | Pink DDPAT is higher (roughly four times). The AWP | Exoskeleton is a few percent cheaper and the AWP | Black Box a sixth cheaper. The AWP | Exothermic is 3.4 times cheaper and the AWP | PAW more than four times.

Getting the AWP | Atheris

A trade-up can build the AWP | Atheris: ten skins one rank down from the set go into it. The result comes from the Prisma set if you put in skins of that collection. It has five Restricted skins, so the odds on this AWP are one in five. From the Prisma Case it drops directly.

StatTrak and Souvenir

A StatTrak version of the skin exists. No Souvenir packages were released with it; a Souvenir copy is made by hand through the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the AWP | Atheris

In Factory New the blue-black base is even, and a sticker reads on it with no interference from scuffs. Light and red stickers contrast with the snake, while green and blue ones merge into it. The artwork sits on the stock and receiver, so the barrel is the freest spot.

Who this wear suits

The AWP | Atheris is worth buying here if one of these fits:

• you want an AWP for CS2 with whole snake scales and a clean background;


• you want to show off stickers on an even surface with no wear marks;


• the 3.86 times gap to Minimal Wear is justified by the wear itself.
