Souvenir AWP | Sun in Leo (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The float range of Sun in Leo ends partway through Battle-Scarred, so even the most worn copies do not reach the heaviest damage the grade allows. The blue-violet print is heavily scuffed on the stock and receiver, with the base showing through in many places. It is the most affordable way to get the zodiac AWP with a worn, weathered character.

Item type: sniper rifle. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The hydrographic covers the receiver, the stock and the grip area in deep blue and violet, with darker swirling shapes, thin lighter blue lines and grey patches forming the zodiac motif. The long barrel, the muzzle, the scope and the bipod remain dark grey and black, which frames the coloured body.

The print is heavily scuffed on all painted parts, with the base showing through across edges and large sections of the stock and receiver. Because the range is capped before the end of the grade, the damage stays short of the worst possible look. In game the blue reads as faded and patchy. The dark barrel and scope look the same as on cleaner copies.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.5

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

Souvenir AWP | Sun in Leo belongs to The Gods and Monsters Collection, which holds 14 skins. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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, violet, silver or white blend with the zodiac print, while gold or yellow accents give a deliberate contrast with the cold tone. Placements on the printed stock and receiver work better than on the plain dark barrel.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the lower edge look noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the stock edges, cheek rest and trigger guard area, as the print wears there first.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers applied, so check whether they suit the blue finish before buying.
• Look at any name tag and applied stickers on regular copies, as they change the look of the rifle.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget entry for anyone who wants this AWP at the lowest cost.
• Players who prefer a heavily weathered look that still stops short of the worst damage.
• The cheapest way into the zodiac AWP, with wear accepted as part of the look.
