What the AWP | Chrome Cannon looks like in Battle-Scarred

The barrel is black and the scope is dark red, with red rings. The body and stock are built from glossy panels carrying purple, copper-gold and blue-teal stripes. Valve calls this mirror paint with multicolored accents.

In Battle-Scarred, wear is at its maximum of the five wears, and the mirror layer is the most battered here. Listings of the AWP | Chrome Cannon in this wear span 0.45 to 1.00, and copies at the two ends of that band look noticeably different from each other.

Where the AWP | Chrome Cannon came from

Strenson made the finish, and in the Steam Workshop it was called "AWP | Tempered": the submission was posted on July 2, 2023. The author described the work as a rifle with nonstandard metal panels. Valve later took it into the Kilowatt Case under the name Chrome Cannon.

• the name tag and stickers on this AWP | Chrome Cannon, which stay on the listing.
