AWP | Sovereign Flame (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Sovereign Flame is recognisable by its gold scope and receiver engraving set against orange-red flames. In Field-Tested the flames still read clearly, while the gold parts and edges start to show light scuffing. It keeps the regal character of the design in a more lived-in form.

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 Field-Tested

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.

Light scratches spread along the muzzle, the scope edges and the receiver edges, and the gold starts to look slightly dull in places. Small wear appears on the outer contours of the stock. In game the flames and gold still read clearly, and the wear is noticeable mostly up close. The central parts of the stock and barrel stay mostly clean.

• 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.
