AWP | Asiimov (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred AWP | Asiimov turns the clean sci-fi design into a heavily weathered version of itself. Large areas of white paint are gone, leaving dark base metal across much of the body, while orange fragments remain as accents. It reads as a dark, rugged rifle rather than a bright white one.

Item type: sniper rifle. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver and stock are painted white with bold orange panels, stripes and angular sci-fi markings, framed by dark grey and black details. The long barrel is a pale grey with a dark muzzle, and the scope is dark with orange rings and mounts.

Most of the white paint on the receiver and stock is worn away, revealing dark metal across large areas. Orange elements survive as broken patches and stripes. In game the rifle reads mostly dark with orange accents. The amount of remaining white varies a lot between floats in this grade.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the amount of surviving white paint changes the look strongly.
• Look at the edges of the receiver and the curves of the stock, which lose paint first.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as they change the overall look.
• Decide between StatTrak™, Souvenir and regular versions before comparing offers.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players who prefer a dark, weathered rifle with orange accents.
• Collectors interested in how the design changes at high wear.
• Budget entry to the skin with a distinctly different look.
