AWP | Exoskeleton (Minimal Wear)

This is the AWP | Exoskeleton in Minimal Wear (MW), with a float between 0.07 and 0.15. The rank is Restricted, and the source is the Operation Broken Fang Case. In this wear it is the priciest Restricted AWP except for one.

What the AWP | Exoskeleton looks like in Minimal Wear

The whole rifle is gray-graphite with no bright colors; the design rests on the relief of bone-like plates. They lie across the receiver, handguard and stock, with dark seams and small holes between them. A ribbed sleeve runs along the barrel. The scope and bipod are black, and the magazine and grip are dark gray.

Wear barely shows on the graphite base. Near the bottom of the band the relief is even; closer to 0.15 the plate ribs on the receiver and the edge of the stock begin to lighten.

Where the AWP | Exoskeleton came from

The Operation Broken Fang Collection came out on December 3, 2020, and the AWP | Exoskeleton arrived with that same update. Valve's launch note spoke about the operation as a whole: Retakes, missions and the stats page.

What to check before buying

What to go over when picking an AWP | Exoskeleton:

• stickers on the body, and the name tag if there is one;


• float: the stretch from 0.07 to 0.15 is short, and the difference between listings disappears into noise.

The pattern is identical on every copy.

What the AWP | Exoskeleton costs in Minimal Wear

Here is how the other four wears sit relative to Minimal Wear:

• Factory New costs 2.51 times as much;


• Field-Tested is 2.32 times cheaper;


• Well-Worn is 2.91 times cheaper;


• Battle-Scarred is 2.85 times cheaper.

In this wear the Exoskeleton is second from the top of ten Restricted AWPs, behind only AWP | Pink DDPAT, which costs about three times as much. AWP | Black Box is a sixth cheaper, AWP | Atheris one and a half times cheaper, and AWP | Exothermic two and a half times cheaper.

Getting the AWP | Exoskeleton

A contract turns ten skins of the next rank down from this collection into the AWP | Exoskeleton. The collection has five Restricted skins, so the chance at this rifle is one in five. The other route is the Operation Broken Fang Case.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The AWP | Exoskeleton comes in a StatTrak version. No Souvenir packages carried this finish, though a Souvenir copy can be built through the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the AWP | Exoskeleton

The gray graphite base does not fight a sticker's color. Relief fills almost the whole body, so a sticker on the plates sits unevenly; the magazine offers the flattest field.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear is the right pick if one of these applies:

• you want an AWP for CS2 whose relief is still almost untouched by wear;


• Factory New costs 2.51 times as much, and you would rather not pay that;


• listings share nearly the same float: the tight 0.07 to 0.15 band leaves no room to choose.
