AWP | Chrome Cannon (Well-Worn)

The AWP | Chrome Cannon in Well-Worn (WW) is second from the bottom of five, with visible wear and the most affordable price among Covert AWPs. The scale for this wear sits between 0.38 and 0.45. It is a Covert skin from the Kilowatt Case, in The Kilowatt Collection. In CS2 this AWP costs almost as much in Well-Worn as in Battle-Scarred.

What the AWP | Chrome Cannon looks like in Well-Worn

A black barrel with a muzzle brake runs into a body of glossy panels, with purple, copper-gold and blue-turquoise stripes across them. The scope is dark red with red rings. Valve calls this finish mirror paint with multicolored accents.

In Well-Worn the wear shows at once, but the artwork holds. The stripes on the panels do not go anywhere, because the finish does not rub off: it receives its wear at the moment of the drop. Every AWP | Chrome Cannon carries the same artwork, and no copy is rarer than another.

Where the AWP | Chrome Cannon came from

Strenson is the author. In the Steam Workshop the work was called "AWP | Tempered", and the submission is dated July 2, 2023. The author himself described it as a rifle with custom metal panels. In Valve's catalog the finish is number 1170.

The AWP | Chrome Cannon appeared in the game on February 6, 2024. With the same update Valve opened the Kilowatt Case of seventeen community finishes and introduced the Kukri Knife.

What to check before buying

Three points get verified before paying for an AWP | Chrome Cannon:

• float: the 0.38 to 0.45 spread is so small that there is no reason to choose by float;


• what the previous owner left on the AWP | Chrome Cannon: stickers and a name tag;


• version: regular, StatTrak or Souvenir.

The pattern is not rolled for this skin, so attention goes to what is stuck on top.

Getting the AWP | Chrome Cannon

The source is the Kilowatt Case. In a contract, ten skins from the rank below in this collection turn into an AWP | Chrome Cannon. A Covert skin also goes on into a craft for a rare special item: in Kilowatt that is the Kukri Knife.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The AWP | Chrome Cannon has a StatTrak version. Souvenir packages were never released for this finish, and a Souvenir copy can be built through the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the AWP | Chrome Cannon

The stripes on the body take bright colors, which leaves the black barrel and the silver parts for a sticker. Light and gray stickers stand out more cleanly there, while gold ones disappear into the copper of the panels. Since this wear already has scuffs, a sticker covers part of them and changes the overall look more than it would on a new rifle.

Who this wear suits

The AWP | Chrome Cannon in Well-Worn is the buy if one of these fits:

• you want the cheapest way into a mirrored AWP for CS2 and wear does not bother you;


• the colored stripes on the panels matter more than a flawless shine;


• the choice is between Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred: the price is the same, and Well-Worn has less wear.
