AWP | Sovereign Flame (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This AWP combines warm flames and gilded details into one ornamental finish. In Well-Worn the paint has visibly thinned on edges and raised parts, so the gold looks aged and the flames lose some of their crispness. The overall colour scheme still carries the skin at a glance.

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.

Appearance in Well-Worn

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.

The scope, receiver panel and muzzle show clear patches where paint has worn away, and the engraving loses definition. The stock edges and parts of the barrel show scratches that cut into the flame shapes. In game the rifle reads as visibly used, though the colour scheme is still obvious. Only the flatter middle areas of the stock keep a fairly clean look.

Which stickers suit it

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.

• Fans of an aged, used look on ornate weapons.
• Conclusion: a cheaper entry with visible character.
