AWP | Sovereign Flame (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Gold fittings and flames along a dark rifle body define Sovereign Flame. Battle-Scarred turns that into a heavily used look, with bare metal showing through on edges, the scope and the stock. It suits those who like a worn relic aesthetic or want the design at the most accessible grade.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The scope is painted gold with ornate engraving on its body and rings, and the receiver carries a matching engraved gold panel. The long barrel is dark with orange and red flame swirls, finished by a gold ring and a silver muzzle brake.

Large areas of bare metal show on the scope, the muzzle and the receiver, and the gold looks patchy. The flames on the barrel and stock are broken up by heavy scratches, especially along the edges. In game the rifle reads as worn and weathered, with the warm colours still recognisable. Clean areas remain only in small patches on the stock.

The float of AWP | Sovereign Flame ranges from 0 to 1; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–1 — 55% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a grade keeps the gold scope noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the scope rings, muzzle and receiver edges, as these parts lose paint first.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so check whether they fit your taste.
• Look at any name tag or added stickers before buying.
