Souvenir AWP | PAW (Factory New)

Skin overview

AWP | PAW covers the body of the rifle in a dense pattern of cartoon cats, dogs and a creature in a red scarf, drawn in warm orange, brown and red with small green and teal accents. In Factory New the colours stay saturated and the dark outlines around each figure are crisp, so the individual animals are easy to pick out. The barrel and scope stay dark and plain, which makes the patterned body stand out even more.

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

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The finish covers the receiver, handguard, grip, magazine area and stock with a dense collage of cartoon cats, dogs and a creature in a red scarf. The palette is dominated by orange, rust brown and red, with dark outlines and scattered green and teal highlights that break up the warm mass.

The pattern is fully intact on every painted part, from the handguard to the butt. Colours are at their brightest and the dark outlines around the animals are sharp. In game the figures can be made out individually even at normal viewing distance. The dark barrel and scope look clean and uniform.

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.

Which stickers suit it

Warm stickers in orange, red and gold blend with the pattern, while teal or green accents echo the small cool highlights in the artwork. Animal-themed or cartoon-style stickers suit the theme, and the plain dark barrel area gives a calm background for a single contrasting sticker.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, as copies at the low end of a grade look noticeably cleaner on the stock edges.
• Inspect the butt, cheek rest and underside of the handguard, since these parts lose paint first.
• Look at applied stickers and their condition, as scraped stickers change the look of the busy body.
• Check for a name tag if you care how the item is listed in your inventory.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the animal collage at its sharpest and brightest.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base with no scuffs near the sticker slots.
• Conclusion: the choice for those who want the pattern exactly as designed.
