AUG | Torque

Origin Story

The AUG | Torque features a robotics-inspired pattern, custom painted in a high-contrast black, white, and yellow color scheme. Released on May 1, 2014, as part of The Huntsman Collection, this skin quickly became a classic budget option for the AUG. It is recognized for its clean, industrial aesthetic, aligning with other "Torque" themed skins like the P250 | Torque.

Drop Chance

AUG | Torque is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Huntsman Weapon Case: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Huntsman Weapon Case (about 1 in 313). 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 0.5. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW.

• Factory New ($17.19): The robotics-inspired pattern with its white and black panels and yellow accents appears pristine and vibrant, showing no visible scratches.
• Minimal Wear ($10.19): Only slight edge scuffing may be present on high-contact areas like the barrel tip or front guard, but the overall pattern remains sharp.
• Field-Tested ($8.35): Noticeable chipping begins to appear on front and side surfaces, with some patchy wear along prominent panel lines, making wear clearly visible.
• Well-Worn ($8.89): Extensive chipping is present along edges and on larger patches of the body, particularly on the front and barrel, leading to a duller appearance where the underlying material shows through.

Model

Torque uses the legacy AUG model, introduced with The Hunt Begins on May 1, 2014. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Visual Theme

Custom Paint Job: It has been custom painted with a robotics inspired pattern. The design features dominant black and white panels accented with bright yellow stripes, creating a high-contrast, industrial look. In first-person view, the segmented body, clean panel lines, and yellow striping along the receiver and handguard are most visible. The aesthetic is consistent with other "Torque" themed skins, known for their clean, high-contrast white, black, and yellow designs.

Sticker Compatibility

Stickers in yellow, black, or white, or those with a tech or robotic theme, complement the AUG | Torque's industrial design. The high-contrast black, white, and yellow palette ensures that such stickers integrate seamlessly. There is no evidence of specific famous crafts or community consensus on the skin's viability as a craft base.
