Souvenir AWP | Medusa (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

AWP | Medusa is recognisable by its dark, almost painted-stone look, with the gorgon and her snakes picked out in cold blue and green tones. In Field-Tested the paint starts to break on the edges of the stock and around the body, letting metal show through in places. The overall image is still clearly readable, and the scuffs give the finish a weathered character.

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

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The barrel, muzzle and scope are kept in dark grey and black, so the attention goes to the rear of the rifle. The receiver and lower body carry a near-black base with blue and teal detailing, and the stock holds the main artwork: the gorgon with snakes coiling across the thumbhole and cheek area, highlighted with lighter cold tones.

Wear spreads along the edges of the stock, the cheek rest and the grip, and the corners of the receiver and magazine show bare metal. Some thin snake lines near the edges start to break up. At normal distance the picture still reads well, with the scuffs visible as lighter patches. The centre of the stock artwork stays mostly intact.

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

Stickers in blue, teal, silver or holo finishes match the cold palette of the gorgon artwork. Placing them on the dark barrel or receiver keeps the painting on the stock visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float position within the wear grade, since a low float keeps the stock edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the gorgon's face and the cheek rest, as wear on these areas affects the look most.
• Check the stock edges and the corners of the receiver and magazine for exposed metal.
• For Souvenir copies, check which stickers are already applied, since they cannot be changed.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want the recognisable artwork with moderate wear.
• Those who like a weathered, used look on the rifle.
• A balanced option between appearance and accessibility.
