AWP | Silk Tiger

Origin Story

The AWP | Silk Tiger features a striking hydrographic tiger pattern applied over a deep blue base, creating a premium and flashy design. Released on December 3, 2020, as part of The Havoc Collection with Operation Broken Fang, this skin quickly became a standout item. Its bold blue and orange palette makes it a popular choice for high-end crafts. The skin is widely regarded as a collector's item and a luxury pick within the community.

Drop Chance

AWP | Silk Tiger is Classified, a Pink-tier skin, rare with strong collector demand. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Havoc Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Classified drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There is 1 other Classified skin in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.6. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The tiger pattern and blue base are at their sharpest and glossiest, with minimal to no visible scratching on the barrel, scope, or stock.
• Minimal Wear ($612.49): The overall look remains very close to Factory New, with full pattern clarity, though extremely light edge wear may begin on the barrel and scope edges.
• Field-Tested ($276.00): Noticeable but moderate edge wear appears on the barrel, muzzle, and scope, while the tiger pattern remains fully readable and the blue base stays relatively vibrant.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): More pronounced scratches and fading appear on the front of the barrel, scope, and receiver, with underlying metal showing through more strongly on sharp edges.
• Battle-Scarred ($722.10): Significant wear is present, with heavy chipping on the barrel and scope edges and more extensive exposed metal, causing the tiger pattern to look duller and more fragmented.
