AUG | Spalted Wood

Origin Story

The AUG | Spalted Wood, released on September 22, 2021, as part of The 2021 Dust 2 Collection with Operation Riptide, features a hydrographic pattern resembling dried wood. This design gives the rifle a naturalistic, rustic appearance, characterized by light to medium brown wood tones with darker veining. The wood grain is prominently displayed on the receiver and main body, making it visible when aiming down sights. Its aesthetic positions it as a thematic piece within the collection.

Drop Chance

AUG | Spalted Wood is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It has appeared across 6 tournament packages, most recently the Rio 2022 Dust II Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Dust II Souvenir Package, and Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package.


Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The 2021 Dust 2 Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Industrial Grade skins like Spalted Wood are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 3 other Industrial Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.48. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($2.84): The light to medium brown wood tones and darker veining of the hydrographic pattern are crisp and fully intact, showing no visible wear.
• Minimal Wear ($0.92): The wood hydrographic retains strong color and pattern detail, with only tiny edge marks or faint dulling potentially appearing on high-contact points like the handguard or scope.
• Field-Tested ($0.58): More noticeable wear appears on edges and corners, particularly toward the front of the rifle, and the wood grain may look slightly faded or dulled in areas.
• Well-Worn ($0.60): The hydrographic wood pattern appears visibly worn and more muted, with heavier edge wear and more extensive fading around the most handled parts of the weapon.
• Battle-Scarred ($4.29): The wood pattern is substantially degraded with heavy wear and fading across the weapon's body, making the overall appearance significantly weathered.

Sticker Compatibility

The natural wood grain of the AUG | Spalted Wood pairs well with stickers in brown, beige, tan, and gold color families, as well as dark green or earthy tones for a rustic aesthetic. Muted black or white logos can also provide a subtle contrast. The main sticker positions on the receiver are clearly visible when aiming down sights and in idle view, making them ideal for showcasing chosen decals.
