Souvenir AWP | Hyper Beast (Factory New)

Skin overview

AWP | Hyper Beast is a custom paint job that covers the stock and receiver of the rifle with a snarling creature in neon pink, magenta, green and teal. In Factory New the colours sit on the stock without breaks, and the dark grey barrel and slate-blue fittings stay clean and even. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the artwork exactly as it was drawn.

Item type: sniper rifle. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

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.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The stock carries most of the artwork: a dense composition of the beast in neon pink, magenta, red, orange, green and teal, with eyes and teeth worked into the curves. The receiver continues the motif in darker grey-blue tones, showing a creature face just ahead of the stock.

The artwork on the stock and receiver is intact, with no breaks in the neon colours. The slate-blue fittings and the dark barrel look uniform. In game the creature reads sharply from the first-person view and the colours stay saturated. Every part of the rifle looks clean.

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

Holographic and foil stickers in pink, magenta, green or teal match the neon palette of the stock. Placing them on the dark receiver or barrel keeps the artwork visible, while black or dark grey stickers give a quieter contrast.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in Field-Tested looks much closer to Minimal Wear than a high one.
• Inspect the stock edges, the butt and the lower curve of the stock, as these parts lose paint first.
• Look at the creature face on the receiver to see how much detail is left on worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, and decide whether they add to the look or hide the artwork.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the artwork without any marks.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for expensive applications.
• The choice for those who want the design exactly as drawn.
