Souvenir AWP | Black Nile (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Black Nile relies on a dark palette and a map-like line pattern rather than bright colour, so moderate wear does not change its character much. In Field-Tested the edges of the stock and the brass parts start to show lighter scuffs. The contour lines remain readable and the rifle still looks deliberate and tidy in hand.

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

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

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The receiver and the stock are covered in a near-black finish with flowing contour lines in a slightly lighter bronze-grey tone, like grooves on a relief map. The long barrel is kept plain dark olive with a thin brass band, ending in a brass-coloured muzzle collar.

Light scuffs are visible on the stock edges, the thumbhole rim and the brass parts, which begin to look uneven. Some contour lines on raised areas of the receiver soften slightly. In game the wear shows mainly on the stock and muzzle, while the barrel and scope body still look mostly clean. The overall dark look is preserved.

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

Gold, brass and black stickers match the trim and keep the rifle's engraved look. Placing them on the barrel near the brass band or on the plain side of the receiver avoids covering the contour lines on the stock.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the brass trim and stock edges change most between low and high values.
• Look at the muzzle collar, scope ring and thumbhole rim on the inspect screen, as these show wear first.
• Souvenir copies exist, so check whether the item carries souvenir stickers and whether they fit the dark finish.
• Review any applied stickers or name tag, because they affect how the restrained look reads.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want a dark, readable AWP for everyday matches.
• Buyers who accept light scuffs on the stock and brass parts.
• A practical middle option for regular play.
