The AWP | Black Nile (Battle-Scarred) is a distinctive sniper rifle skin known for its high risk and high reward gameplay. This infamous weapon is characterized by its signature report and one-shot, one-kill policy. The custom paint job features lines that resemble grooves on a topographical map, adding to its unique aesthetic appeal.
The AWP | Black Nile was introduced to CS2 on April 24th, 2023, as part of the Austin 2025 Anubis Souvenir Package during the "Anubis Skins" update. This skin was created by community designer SayChains.
This skin is painted in a "Gunsmith" style, showcasing a combination of patina and custom paint techniques. Primarily painted in shades of gray, it features a topographical map design that adds depth and character. Different pattern indexes do not affect the Black Nile finish.
The float value for the AWP | Black Nile ranges from 0.00 to 0.75, which means it is available in all exterior conditions. As a Battle-Scarred skin, it typically displays more wear and tear, contributing to its rugged appearance.
The price of the AWP | Black Nile has shown a steady increase over time, making it one of the more sought-after sniper rifle skins in CS2. Compared to other skins of the same type, its popularity and unique design contribute to its higher price point, reflecting demand.
The AWP | Black Nile is categorized as Mil-Spec Grade, which indicates that it is a relatively common drop among sniper rifle skins. Its rarity suggests that while it is not overly rare, it retains a degree of desirability among players.
This skin can be obtained by opening containers such as the Anubis Collection Package, Austin 2025 Anubis Souvenir Package, and Copenhagen 2024 Anubis Souvenir Package. The estimated drop chance for the AWP | Black Nile is 79.92%.
