AWP | Medusa (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This finish wraps a gorgon and snake coils in blue-teal paint around the stock of a dark AWP. In Well-Worn large parts of the edges and raised surfaces have lost their paint, so the image looks patchy and fragments of the snakes disappear into bare metal. It suits players who like the motif and do not mind a rifle that looks heavily used.

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

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The barrel, muzzle and scope are kept in dark grey and black, so the attention goes to the rear of the rifle. The receiver and lower body carry a near-black base with blue and teal detailing, and the stock holds the main artwork: the gorgon with snakes coiling across the thumbhole and cheek area, highlighted with lighter cold tones.

Large patches of paint are gone from the stock edges, the grip and the raised surfaces of the receiver. The snakes lose whole sections, and the gorgon's face begins to show scratches. In game the rifle looks visibly worn, with metal breaking up the dark base. Only the more sheltered areas of the stock keep their colour.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in blue, teal, silver or holo finishes match the cold palette of the gorgon artwork. Placing them on the dark barrel or receiver keeps the painting on the stock visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float position within the wear grade, since a low float keeps the stock edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the gorgon's face and the cheek rest, as wear on these areas affects the look most.
• Check the stock edges and the corners of the receiver and magazine for exposed metal.
• For Souvenir copies, check which stickers are already applied, since they cannot be changed.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Players who want the Medusa name and motif at a lower entry point.
• Fans of heavily used, patchy finishes.
• A compromise for those who accept visible wear on the stock.
