Souvenir AWP | BOOM (Factory New)

Skin overview

AWP | Boom! is a Classified sniper rifle finish with a bright orange base covered in a hydrographic print of comic book onomatopoeia. The dark lettering and burst shapes sit across the stock and receiver, while the barrel, scope and bipod stay dark. In Factory New the orange is even and saturated, and the printed outlines look sharp from butt to receiver.

Item type: sniper rifle. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The orange base coat with the hydrographic print covers the stock, the grip area and the receiver, where dark lettering and burst shapes are scattered unevenly across the surface. The long barrel, muzzle brake, scope, bipod and magazine are left in dark metal and contrast with the painted body.

Factory New copies sit in a narrow band at the very start of the float range. The orange coat is uniform and the dark print has crisp edges on the stock and receiver. Edges of the butt and grip show no visible paint loss. In game the rifle reads as a clean bright orange shape with clear dark accents.

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

Black, dark red and orange stickers match the base coat and the dark lettering without adding clutter. Holo or comic-style stickers on the receiver and front of the stock fit the graphic theme, while keeping placements away from the dense print helps them stay readable.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since Field-Tested copies near the cap show more edge chipping.
• Look at the butt, cheek rest and grip edges, which lose paint first.
• Inspect the stock sides to see which parts of the onomatopoeia print are visible, as the pattern placement varies.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as they change how the busy print reads.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the cleanest orange and the sharpest print.
• Sticker crafters who need an untouched base for a careful combination.
• Conclusion: the choice for those who value a perfect finish over saving.
