AWP | Snake Camo (Factory New)

Skin overview

AWP | Snake Camo is a field-style camouflage AWP: a sand-tan base covered with darker brown snakeskin patches, each one outlined by hand. In Factory New the stencilled scale texture inside the patches is crisp and the outlines stay sharp from the scope to the stock. Factory New copies sit only in a narrow band at the very top of the float range, so this grade shows the camo at its cleanest.

Item type: sniper rifle. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver, scope body and thumbhole stock are painted in a sand-tan base with irregular darker brown patches, each outlined by a freehand line and filled with a fine snakeskin scale texture. The long barrel, muzzle brake, scope rings and bipod stay in dark unpainted metal, which frames the camo and keeps the rifle looking utilitarian. The magazine is plain grey metal and the butt pad is dark, so the pattern is concentrated on the body and the scope. On worn copies the spray paint goes first from the scope edges, the top of the receiver, the bolt area and the rims of the thumbhole and stock, revealing metal underneath.

The paint is complete on every painted part, and the freehand outlines and scale texture are sharp. The scope, receiver and stock show no chips. In game the tan and brown camo reads evenly across the whole rifle. Differences from Minimal Wear are noticeable only up close in inspect.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since the scope and receiver edges show the difference first.
• Inspect the thumbhole and stock rims on worn copies to see how much bare metal shows through.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so make sure they fit the look you want.
• Look at any name tag and existing stickers, as they change how the plain camo reads.
