AWP | Chromatic Aberration (Well-Worn)

On the AWP | Chromatic Aberration, Well-Worn (WW) barely differs in price from Minimal Wear: the gap is about three percent. The float runs from 0.38 to 0.45, the rank is Covert, and the rifle comes from the Recoil Case. It is available to both teams.

What the AWP | Chromatic Aberration looks like in Well-Worn

The body is dark and graphite, with turquoise and pink symbols along the barrel and on the butt of the stock. The color is gathered on the cheek piece and stock: wide pink stripes that turn violet toward the edges. The outlines of the symbols are doubled, and that shift is drawn on purpose.

Wear on this skin in Well-Worn lies between 0.38 and 0.45. The pattern index changes nothing, and a copy's wear is fixed once, at drop.

Where the AWP | Chromatic Aberration came from

The artist is kosear, and the submission is dated October 5, 2020. The Recoil Collection was released on July 1, 2022, and the skin has been in the set since launch. In Valve's finish catalog it carries number 1144.

What to check before buying

When choosing one, pay attention to this:

• float: the wear takes a tenth of a scale that ends at 0.70;


• stickers and a name tag inherited from a previous owner.

This wear is a narrow band, 0.38 to 0.45, and the copies hardly differ from one another.

What the AWP | Chromatic Aberration costs in Well-Worn

• Factory New is 1.83 times more expensive;


• Minimal Wear is 1.03 times more;


• Field-Tested is 1.12 times cheaper;


• Battle-Scarred is 1.26 times cheaper.

Among Covert AWPs with a price at this wear, only two are cheaper than the skin: Chrome Cannon and Hyper Beast. LongDog is almost level, Neo-Noir is higher by a tenth, Printstream by a seventh. Highest are Desert Hydra, Medusa and Gungnir, at tens of times the price and more.

Getting the AWP | Chromatic Aberration

It is built with a contract of ten skins one step down. When the ten are all from this collection, it has two Covert skins, and the odds are one in two.

If you would rather skip the contract, there is the Recoil Case. Covert rank also serves as an input for a craft toward a rare special item: the Recoil Collection's rare special items are gloves, among them Driver Gloves and Hand Wraps.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The finish exists with StatTrak. Souvenir copies of it are out there as well, but the finish had no Souvenir packages, as those were produced only for tournament map collections. Such copies come from the Souvenir-O-Matic, which hangs gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on an ordinary skin from the inventory.

Stickers and craft on the AWP | Chromatic Aberration

The dark base takes stickers without losses: white and turquoise ones read on it at once. On the pink stripes of the stock, red stickers clash with the background. The barrel with its small symbols is best left open.

Who this wear suits

Well-Worn is worth buying on these terms:

• you want an AWP for CS2 without paying extra for Factory New, which costs 1.83 times more;


• visible wear, 0.38 to 0.45, is acceptable;


• you want a Covert skin from the lower part of the price row, but not the cheapest in it.
