AWP | Gungnir (Well-Worn)

Well-Worn is the second-to-last step of wear on the dearest AWP finish in CS2. The condition occupies 0.38 to 0.45, seven hundredths, exactly as short as the Factory New band. The rank is Covert and the set is Norse. The collection has no case: its items were operation rewards.

What the AWP | Gungnir looks like in Well-Worn

Up front the rifle is pale. The ivory barrel is carved with spirals and runes, with a braided section nearer the receiver. The rear half is blue, pearlescent, with a dark Norse knot running the length of the side. Glossy blue claims the pistol grip and optic mounts; the bipod and magazine stay bone-colored in carved rings. The scope body mixes brass and bone; a pale blue collar with a rune sits at the muzzle.

Here the pale areas darken as a whole rather than in patches. The bone turns warm gray, and only the flats under the optic hold their white. Carving on the barrel reads in fragments, interrupted on the handguard ribs and the butt plate. The blue side takes wear more evenly: the knot is sunk into the surface, so the braid survives even here, though the sheen goes flat.

Where the AWP | Gungnir came from

The Norse collection entered the game on November 19, 2019. Valve drew the finish in house — no third-party artist, no Workshop entry — and the catalog number is 756. The operation announcement placed Norse alongside three other new sets, with its items earned as rewards.

What to check before buying

Three points matter at this wear:

• the float inside 0.38 to 0.45, since gray on the bone grows denser toward the top;


• the state of the carving, already broken here to a degree that varies by copy;


• An applied name and any stickers the rifle already wears.

Across so narrow a band copies hardly differ. No variant artwork exists; the run is painted alike.

What the AWP | Gungnir costs in Well-Worn

Three cleaner conditions sit above and a single rubbed one below. The spread between extreme wears is small here: buyers pay for the finish, and body condition moves the sum within tens of percent.

Among Covert AWPs in Well-Worn this is the dearest, and the distance to the rest is wider here than at any other wear. Medusa is almost five times cheaper, Desert Hydra about nine times, Oni Taiji thirty-odd times. Asiimov trails by more than a hundredfold.

Getting the AWP | Gungnir

A finished listing is the only way to one. No case carries the finish, and the missions that paid out Norse items are closed. The second route is a trade-up inside the same collection, with its own arithmetic on inputs.

StatTrak and Souvenir

Stickers and craft on the AWP | Gungnir

No StatTrak version of the AWP | Gungnir was ever released, and no Souvenir packages were made for this finish either: packages only ever covered tournament map collections. A souvenir copy can still be built by hand. The Souvenir-O-Matic puts gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on a normal skin from the inventory. That is why the odd souvenir copy turns up where no package was ever made.

The pale half has already gone gray, and a sticker holds worse there than on the blue side with the knot. Where a craft is built anyway, cool tones are used: a palette of blue and bone rejects warm colors. Application is irreversible, and a sticker here also argues with the carving.

Who this wear suits

This condition is the one to buy if:

• the finish is what you want, and clean edges mean nothing in CS2;


• a predictable look matters, as the short band leaves almost no spread;


• worn bone reads to you as patina rather than damage.

At range in a fight, this wear and the clean ones cannot be told apart: a silhouette of blue and bone reads the same. The whole difference lives in close inspection, in the gray edges and the interrupted carving.
