AWP | Medusa

Origin Story

The AWP | Medusa, released on May 26, 2015, with Operation Bloodhound, is a distinctive sniper rifle skin from The Gods and Monsters Collection. Its design features a custom-painted image of a gorgon, a mythological serpent-haired female figure. The flavor text, "If you can see me, you're already dead," reinforces the skin's deadly and mythical theme. This skin is recognized for its unique visual identity and is a prominent item within its themed collection.

Drop Chance

AWP | Medusa is Covert, a Red-tier skin, the rarest standard drop grade. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Gods and Monsters Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Covert drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. It is the only Covert skin in the collection. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The gorgon artwork on the AWP's receiver and stock is pristine with full color saturation.
• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): Minor darkening begins to appear on the edges of the receiver, but the central artwork remains vibrant.
• Field-Tested (No Recent Price): The patina effect becomes more noticeable, with the artwork showing some dullness and darkening, particularly on exposed areas.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): The skin darkens considerably, and the gorgon motif loses much of its original color saturation, appearing subdued.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): The entire weapon surface is heavily darkened by the patina, obscuring the finer details of the gorgon design.
