AWP | Dragon Lore (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

AWP | Dragon Lore in Battle-Scarred keeps its general outline — gold body, dragon on the stock, diamond barrel — under heavy scuffing. Large areas of the barrel and the edges of the receiver are worn down to bare metal, and the fine knotwork is broken up in places. It is the most accessible grade of this skin, chosen for the name and the silhouette rather than for clean detail.

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.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The barrel is covered with a diamond pattern that runs from dark olive near the receiver to bright orange and black toward the muzzle. The receiver and the front of the stock carry a red-orange dragon on a pale gold background, and the rear of the stock is filled with fine brown knotwork on cream and yellow.

Large parts of the barrel are worn to bare metal, and only fragments of the diamond pattern remain. The receiver and the stock show heavy scuffing along all edges and raised areas. The dragon keeps its overall shape and the gold background still covers the centre of the panels. From a distance the rifle reads as a Dragon Lore, while up close the wear is obvious.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since a low float in a grade keeps the barrel and receiver edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle end, the receiver edges and the top of the stock, as these parts lose paint first.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so make sure they suit the artwork for you.
• Look at applied stickers and the name tag, as they change how the rifle reads in game.
