AUG | Colony

Origin Story

The AUG | Colony, released on November 27, 2013, as part of the "Out with the old, in with the new" update, is a utilitarian skin from The Mirage Collection. It features individual parts spray-painted in khaki and grey, creating a two-tone, muted appearance. This Solid Color finish gives the weapon a low-contrast look, consistent with other "Colony" finishes in the game. It is recognized as a budget-friendly option within the Mirage Collection, often grouped with other simple, drab skins from the same set.

Drop Chance

AUG | Colony is Consumer Grade, the most common drop tier in CS2. It has appeared across 13 tournament packages, most recently the Krakow 2017 Mirage Souvenir Package, London 2018 Mirage Souvenir Package, and MLG Columbus 2016 Mirage 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 Mirage Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Consumer Grade skins like Colony are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 5 other Consumer 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.
