AWP | Capillary

Origin Story

The AWP | Capillary, released on March 31, 2020, as part of The Prisma 2 Collection with the Clearing Out the Cobwebs update, features a custom paint job of intricate teal and coral veins. This visual style gives the AWP a distinct appearance, characterized by its dark base contrasted with the vibrant, organic network of lines. It stands as a Mil-Spec option within its collection, providing a custom-painted AWP. The skin's in-game flavor text, "The key to an agent's heart costs $4750," adds a touch of intrigue to its origin.

Drop Chance

AWP | Capillary is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Prisma 2 Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Prisma 2 Case (about 1 in 88). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0.05 to 0.7. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Minimal Wear ($1.51): The intricate teal and coral veins are sharp and saturated against the dark base, with only microscopic edge wear visible. This tier represents the cleanest possible appearance for this skin.
• Field-Tested ($0.94): Chips and small scratches begin to appear on the barrel, scope, and body edges, though the vein network remains largely intact and vibrant. This is typically considered the value tier.
• Well-Worn ($1.03): Significant edge wear is present, with parts of the dark base showing underlying material, and the vein network appearing more muted and broken up by scratches.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.89): Heavy wear covers most exposed surfaces, with large portions of the dark base and vein design faded and broken up, resulting in a washed-out appearance.

Model

Capillary uses the legacy AWP model, introduced with Clearing Out the Cobwebs on March 31, 2020. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Sticker Compatibility

The AWP | Capillary's dark base with teal and coral veins pairs well with stickers in matching teal, pink, or red tones, as well as white or light neutral stickers for contrast. The skin's Custom Paint Job finish means stickers are typically applied to the main body, mid-body, and rear stock slots. The uniform Custom Paint Job finish means its visual identity is consistent across the skin, making it a suitable canvas for sticker crafts.
