AUG | Akihabara Accept

Origin Story

The AUG | Akihabara Accept features a vibrant anime magazine cover design, making it a highly distinctive skin in CS2. Released on May 26, 2015, as part of The Rising Sun Collection with Operation Bloodhound, its artwork depicts a large anime girl character alongside Japanese text and stylized panels. This unique visual identity has cemented its status as a high-end collector's item, often considered a "holy grail" for anime fans and collectors. Its extreme rarity from the discontinued collection further contributes to its prestige.

Drop Chance

AUG | Akihabara Accept 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 Rising Sun 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 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The anime character and magazine artwork are crisp, fully saturated, and almost entirely free of scratches, presenting a pristine printed surface.
• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): The overall art remains very close to Factory New, with full color vibrancy and only light, localized wear beginning on sharp edges like the barrel tip and front handguard, often considered the value choice among clean tiers.
• Field-Tested ($680.00): Moderate wear appears on more outer edges and high-contact surfaces, with visible chipping into the printed design on the front and top edges, though the central artwork and character remain clearly recognizable.
• Well-Worn ($500.64): Heavier edge wear and chipping affect larger segments of the art, particularly near the front of the gun, with some text elements appearing partially worn or broken, making it a budget compromise where the famous art is still present.
• Battle-Scarred ($376.51): Extensive wear covers large areas of the front body and edges, with heavy chipping and exposed base material giving a gritty, worn poster appearance, though the main character should still be visible.

Model

Visual Theme

Custom Paint Job: It has been decorated with a heat transfer vinyl of an anime magazine cover. The design features a white and light gray background with strong purple, pink, blue, and black tones from the anime illustration and text. The large anime character and surrounding text on the right side of the body and magazine area are most prominent in first-person view. It is commonly compared to other custom jobs like M4A4 | The Empress and Galil AR | Eco for its magazine cover style, but is frequently singled out as the most overtly anime weapon skin in the game.
