Souvenir AWP | Electric Hive (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This AWP carries a hexagon hydrographic in purple, blue and red across the stock and receiver. Well-Worn sits at the very top of the skin's float range, so the pattern stays readable even here, though the red lines look duller and the edges show bare spots. It is the most affordable way to get the honeycomb look.

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: Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The hydrographic covers the stock, grip area, receiver and magazine with a violet base that shifts into blue in places and carries a mottled texture. Over it runs a grid of red hexagons outlined as if glowing, densest and most visible on the receiver and the sides of the stock.

Bare spots spread along all edges of the stock and magazine and reach onto the handguard. The red lines fade noticeably and the violet base looks patchy in places. The pattern still holds on the central part of the receiver and stock, so from normal distance the honeycomb remains readable.

Well-Worn quality — float range 0.38–0.4

The whole float range of Souvenir AWP | Electric Hive is 0–0.4; Well-Worn takes the 0.38–0.4 segment (5% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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

Red, purple and holographic stickers fit the glowing hexagon grid and the violet base. Dark or black stickers placed along the receiver keep the honeycomb readable without breaking the colour scheme.

What to look at before you buy

• Compare the float position within the wear, since low-float copies keep the red lines noticeably brighter.
• Look at the stock edges, thumbhole and magazine corners, as these lose paint first.
• Check whether applied stickers cover the receiver, where the hexagon grid is most visible.
• Note any name tag and whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir version instead of a regular one.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Budget buyers looking for the cheapest entry to this pattern.
• Players who mainly see the rifle in first person and care less about edges.
• Conclusion: an affordable way to own the skin with the pattern still readable.
