AUG | Plague

Origin Story

The AUG | Plague was released on September 22, 2021, as part of The Operation Riptide Collection. This aesthetic is further reinforced by the flavor text, "Like a moth to a flame."

Drop Chance

AUG | Plague is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Operation Riptide 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 Operation Riptide 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 to 0.76. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($9.21): The Gunsmith finish maintains its full visual depth and responds dynamically to light, showcasing the intricate plague design.
• Minimal Wear ($2.99): Minor abrasions begin to appear on the edges of the weapon, subtly affecting the light reflection without obscuring the pattern.
• Field-Tested ($1.33): Noticeable wear and scuffs become more prominent across the weapon's surface, particularly on high-traffic areas, reducing the finish's luster.
• Well-Worn ($1.17): Significant wear is evident, with large areas showing diminished reflectivity and more pronounced scratching, though the overall design remains visible.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.92): The Gunsmith finish is heavily degraded, displaying extensive scratching and scuffing that dulls the surface and significantly impacts the dynamic lighting effect.

Model

Plague uses the current AUG model, added with Operation Riptide on September 22, 2021. The Gunsmith finish responds to CS2's dynamic lighting.
