Souvenir AWP | Atheris (Factory New)

Skin overview

AWP | Atheris is a hand-painted finish: a green and blue bush viper coiled over a black base, with neon green rings at the muzzle and on both ends of the scope. In Factory New the scales keep their full colour gradient and the black stays deep and even, so the snake stands out sharply. This is the condition in which the artwork looks exactly as painted.

Item type: sniper rifle. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver and stock carry the main artwork: a bush viper with glowing green and teal scales coils along the side of the receiver with its head turned towards the barrel, and its body continues across the stock over a dark blue-black base. The barrel is mostly plain dark grey-green and ends in a muzzle brake with blue trim and a neon green ring at the tip.

No visible wear on any part of the rifle. The black base is uniform, the neon rings on the muzzle and scope are bright, and every scale of the viper keeps its gradient. In game the snake reads as a sharp, glowing shape against the dark body.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in green, teal, blue or black, especially holo and foil versions, match the viper and the neon accents. Placing them on the barrel side or near the rear of the stock keeps the snake's head on the receiver visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since copies near the cleaner end look noticeably better.
• Inspect the viper on the side of the receiver, as its scale detail is what suffers once wear spreads beyond the edges.
• Look at the muzzle tip and the scope rings, because the neon green accents there are the first to show marks.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they cover the snake's head.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the viper artwork with no compromises.
• Players planning a sticker craft where every colour detail should stay clean.
• The choice for those who value the finish exactly as painted.
