AWP | Elite Build (Well-Worn)

Well-Worn (WW) on the AWP | Elite Build is the wear in which the orange marks are already knocked off the raised parts. The float band here runs 0.38 to 0.45, 7% of the whole scale. The skin is Classified and drops from the Operation Wildfire Case.

What the AWP | Elite Build looks like in Well-Worn

The base of the rifle is graphite gray with black areas, and the barrel and scope are black. Orange details are gathered in a few places: the muzzle ring, the scope screws, the bolt handle and inserts on the receiver and stock. The design is built as a set of technical marks, with no large patterns.

A light winged badge and fine lettering can be made out on the receiver. In Well-Worn the orange accents on the raised parts have already worn off, and the dark background hides the wear.

Where the AWP | Elite Build came from

The Wildfire Collection with this skin came out on February 17, 2016, and the AWP | Elite Build arrived with the same update. M1nD is behind the artwork. In Valve's catalog it is recorded under number 525. Along with the operation, Valve updated the lighting and shaders, as it explained in a separate note late that February.

What to check before buying

Listings of the AWP | Elite Build are compared on these points:

• float: the spread inside 0.38 to 0.45 is small;


• the orange marks that remain on the receiver and stock;


• stickers and a name tag, and whether they will pass to you with the AWP | Elite Build.

The AWP | Elite Build is one artwork on every copy, and no rare ones exist. In this wear you can buy almost blind, since the 0.38 to 0.45 band is tight.

What the AWP | Elite Build costs in Well-Worn

Who this wear suits

Buying the AWP | Elite Build in Well-Worn makes sense when:

• you want a dark AWP for CS2 at the average price of the lower half of the scale;


• it matters that the rifle does not look new;


• you do not need to choose by float, since in WW the band is tight.
