AWP | CMYK

Origin Story

The AWP | CMYK, released on October 4, 2024, as part of The Armory update, features a multicolored abstract design set against a clean white base. Its in-game description highlights this custom painted aesthetic with a vibrant, modern appeal. This design choice, combined with its inclusion in The Graphic Design Collection, positions the AWP | CMYK as a visually distinctive sniper rifle. The skin's flavor text, "I knew you'd return; I just didn't expect it to be so soon... - Booth, Arms Dealer," adds a layer of narrative intrigue.

Drop Chance

AWP | CMYK 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 Graphic Design 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 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($1,963.46): The multicolored abstract design is crisp and fully saturated over the bright white base, with no visible scratches.
• Minimal Wear ($653.73): Minor wear may appear on sharp edges like the barrel tip or stock, but the abstract pattern and white base remain vibrant.
• Field-Tested ($342.83): Noticeable scratches and small patches of wear emerge on the scope housing and leading edges of the stock, with some dulling of the white base.
• Well-Worn ($247.16): Larger worn areas and extensive edge chipping are present, causing the abstract design to appear broken up and the white base to look more muted.
• Battle-Scarred ($181.18): The pattern is heavily worn with significant chipping and dull colors, and the white base may appear quite dirty, making the abstract design less coherent.
