Souvenir AWP | Sun in Leo (Factory New)

Skin overview

AWP | Sun in Leo is a hydrographic finish with a zodiac motif in deep blue and violet, laid over the stock and receiver while the barrel and scope stay dark. In Factory New the print is complete, so the fine lighter lines and grey patches inside the pattern are sharp and easy to follow. This grade suits a buyer who wants the artwork exactly as designed.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

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 intact across the receiver, stock and grip. Lines and grey patches inside the pattern are crisp, and the blue-violet tone is even. In game the rifle reads as a clean, saturated blue body against the dark barrel. Nothing on the painted parts shows wear.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir AWP | Sun in Leo is 0–0.5; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (14% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

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.

Which stickers suit it

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 Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the zodiac print complete and sharp.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean, even blue base.
• The choice for those who value the finish exactly as designed.
