Souvenir AWP | Exothermic (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Exothermic is recognised by its saturated red body and the burst of dark streaks running across the stock and scope. In Field-Tested the red still dominates the view, while the first patches of grey metal show along edges and on the scope. It suits players who want the red AWP look without paying for a near-clean copy.

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

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The stock, grip area, receiver and handguard are painted bright red with a hydrographic burst pattern of darker red streaks that fan out in different directions. The scope tube and its mounts carry the same red pattern, while the barrel, muzzle brake and bipod stay in dark grey metal.

Grey metal starts to show on the scope tube and mounts and along the edges of the stock and thumbhole. Light scratching dulls parts of the pattern near the front of the handguard. The red still covers most of the body, so in game the rifle reads as clearly red with some wear on the details.

Field-Tested quality — float range 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of Souvenir AWP | Exothermic is 0–0.7; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (33% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

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, black and gold stickers fit the burst pattern without clashing with it. Darker stickers placed along the flat side of the stock stand out well against the busy red texture, while bright colours away from red can look out of place.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in the middle grades keeps much more red on the scope.
• Look at the scope and stock edges in the inspect view, as these parts lose paint first.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, because they change how the red body reads.
• Compare a few copies side by side, since the hydrographic pattern sits slightly differently on each one.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want a red AWP for everyday use.
• Buyers who accept wear on the scope in exchange for a lower cost.
• The practical choice for play.
