Souvenir AWP | Pit Viper (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

The skin is built around one idea: a snakeskin print in bright and deep greens laid over the stock, receiver and muzzle brake. In Field-Tested the pattern is still clearly readable, with light scuffing along the edges of the stock. It keeps the reptile look without the cost of the cleanest copies.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The snakeskin hydrographic covers the stock, grip area and receiver housing with small green scales, mixing light lime tones with darker olive and near-black blotches. The long barrel and the scope stay dark grey and black, which frames the green body.

Light scuffs appear on the edges of the stock and around the thumbhole, and the muzzle brake may show small grey spots. The main flat surfaces of the stock and receiver keep most of the pattern. At normal distance the skin looks almost intact and the green still dominates. Lower floats in this grade are noticeably cleaner than higher ones.

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

Green, black and gold stickers blend with the snakeskin print, while holo or foil stickers in green tones keep the theme. Placing them on the stock near the scale pattern works better than on the dark barrel, where bright colours stand out sharply.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear, since low floats keep noticeably more green on the stock edges.
• Look at the muzzle brake and the thumbhole edges, as these lose the print first.
• Inspect stickers and name tag, since souvenir copies come with stickers already applied.
• Compare Battle-Scarred and Well-Worn copies side by side, as the difference here is smaller than on many skins.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want a nearly intact look at a lower cost.
• Sticker crafters who place stickers on the flat stock areas that stay clean.
• Conclusion: a balanced option between appearance and budget.
