AWP | POP AWP (Well-Worn)

This is the AWP | POP AWP in Well-Worn (WW), the last of the skin's four wears. Its float sits within 0.38 to 0.44, and the scale goes no higher: the skin's ceiling is 0.44, and it has no Battle-Scarred. Restricted rank; the finish is in The 2021 Train Collection, and either side can use it.

What the AWP | POP AWP looks like in Well-Worn

A retro-techno pattern lies on the receiver and stock: blocks and stripes of white, red and blue with black outlines. The barrel, scope and bipod are unpainted and stay black.

Wear on this skin is set when it drops, and Well-Worn is the heaviest the skin comes in. The pattern is small and busy, so the scuffs fall on many separate blocks rather than one large patch.

What to check before buying

A listing of the AWP | POP AWP is chosen by these signs:

• float: a spread of 0.38 to 0.44 is small, but it is the only thing that tells copies apart;


• any stickers or name tag the previous owner applied;


• the edges of the white blocks, where the marks of wear show more.

Pattern index changes nothing on the AWP | POP AWP. Its spread of 0.38 to 0.44 is so small that choosing by float makes little sense.

What the AWP | POP AWP costs in Well-Worn

Factory New costs 4.96 times as much, Minimal Wear 1.24 times, and Field-Tested is level. Between the two lower wears the price shows no gap, so only the wear tells them apart.

Rank the Restricted AWPs by price and the skin lands second, behind AWP | Pink DDPAT alone. AWP | Phobos, AWP | Exoskeleton and AWP | Atheris follow, cheaper by 29%, by a third and by 41%. AWP | Black Box and AWP | Exothermic are lower still. The cheapest in the row is AWP | Pit Viper.

Getting the AWP | POP AWP

No case holds the AWP | POP AWP: it came out in September 2021 with The 2021 Train Collection. That leaves a contract. Ten skins one step down from this collection make one AWP | POP AWP, with a one-in-five chance. Among the inputs are Tec-9 | Safety Net, UMP-45 | Full Stop and R8 Revolver | Blaze.

StatTrak and Souvenir

StatTrak was never released for the AWP | POP AWP, and there are no Souvenir packages either. A Souvenir copy can be put together through the Souvenir-O-Matic if you want one.

Stickers and craft on the AWP | POP AWP

The wear is visible to the eye here, and a bright sticker on a light field looks newer than the rifle itself. Dark stickers fit into the black outlines of the design, while red and blue ones repeat the colors of the blocks.

Who this wear suits

The AWP | POP AWP in Well-Worn makes sense under these conditions:

• you need a Restricted AWP for CS2 with a bright mosaic at the lowest price among the wears;


• Field-Tested costs the same and wears less, so Well-Worn is justified only with a low float;


• you want the skin in CS2 for the color of the pattern, not for clean paint.
