AWP | Sun in Leo

Origin Story

The AWP | Sun in Leo features a hydrographic in a zodiac motif, depicting constellations against a deep navy background. Released on May 26, 2015, as part of Operation Bloodhound, this skin belongs to The Gods and Monsters Collection. It is recognized as a thematic piece for those interested in zodiac or Greek mythology-themed loadouts. The design focuses on celestial patterns, making the constellation graphics the most visible element during gameplay. This skin offers a clean, blue-themed alternative within the AWP lineup.

Drop Chance

AWP | Sun in Leo is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Gods and Monsters Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Industrial Grade drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 3 other Industrial Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Sticker Compatibility

The AWP | Sun in Leo's deep navy base and light blue/white zodiac motifs pair well with blue, navy, or aqua stickers for a cohesive look. White, silver, or light holographic stickers can also stand out against the dark background, while yellow or gold accents can add contrast. The pattern is clean enough that stickers do not appear muddy.
