AWP | Black Box (Factory New)

Factory New (FN) on the AWP | Black Box is the float band from 0.00 to 0.07, on a paint scale that runs from 0.00 to 1.00. It is a Restricted rifle from The Spy Tech Collection, and it has never been in a case.

What the AWP | Black Box looks like in Factory New

The rifle is painted a matte dark gray, close to black, and its one accent is a thin orange diagonal stripe on the body ahead of the bolt. The barrel, bipod and stock stay in the same muted tones. Valve describes the artwork as matte black paint with an orange stripe.

In Factory New the surface is free of scratches, the matte coat is even, and the orange stripe is crisp along its whole length. Wear is set when the skin drops, and on a copy like this it stays at zero.

Where the AWP | Black Box came from

The finish was drawn by NOLFUT, whose submission "AWP | Black box" appeared on the Steam Workshop on April 26, 2025. The author wrote that the idea came from the black boxes of crashed aircraft. The matte surface stands for oblivion, and the orange diagonal is a distress signal that nobody answered.

The Spy Tech Collection went into the game on July 8, 2026, and the AWP | Black Box was in it from day one. Valve's note ties the release to the Call to Arms announcement. In Valve's catalog the finish carries number 1467.

What to check before buying

When choosing an AWP | Black Box, buyers look at three things:

• float: the AWP | Black Box can be bought anywhere from 0.00 to 0.07;


• whether the orange stripe is clean, with no rubbed spots;


• what the previous owner left on it, such as stickers and a name tag.

The AWP | Black Box has no pattern variance: what one listing shows, the rest show. The 0.00 to 0.07 stretch is short, so differences between listings vanish into rounding.

What the AWP | Black Box costs in Factory New

This is the top wear of the skin, and the gap to the lower ones is wide. Minimal Wear is two and a half times cheaper, Field-Tested more than five times, Well-Worn seven and a half times, and Battle-Scarred more than eight.

Among Restricted AWPs in Factory New the skin ranks fifth of nine, right in the middle. Exoskeleton, Atheris and POP AWP cost a sixth more. Exothermic is three times cheaper and PAW almost four times; the cheapest in the row is Worm God.

Getting the AWP | Black Box

The AWP | Black Box has never been in a case.

To trade up into it, you put in ten Mil-Spec skins from anywhere, and the result comes from the collection of one of the inputs. Taking all ten from The Spy Tech Collection is the player's choice, and then the odds are one in three.

StatTrak and Souvenir

There is no StatTrak version of the AWP | Black Box. No Souvenir packages hold this finish either.

Stickers and craft on the AWP | Black Box

The matte dark body is a good backdrop for light stickers: white and yellow ones read at once. Dark stickers vanish on it. The orange stripe sets the color, and a build of orange and silver stickers looks of one piece.

Who this wear suits

Factory New is the sensible way to buy the AWP | Black Box when:

• you want a severe-looking AWP for CS2 without a single scuff;


• a flawless orange stripe matters;


• you collect top wears and want the matte base as a canvas for stickers in CS2.
