AUG | Amber Slipstream

Origin Story

The AUG | Amber Slipstream was released on August 3, 2018, as part of The Horizon Collection, introduced with the A New Horizon update. It features a hand-painted smoky grey and vibrant orange hydrographic design. While it is a more budget-friendly option, its distinct color scheme makes it a recognizable skin from the Horizon Collection. The skin's visual identity is defined by the swirling grey and orange pattern that covers the receiver and upper body of the AUG. This skin is primarily sought after by players looking for a colorful AUG or collectors aiming to complete full sets from The Horizon Collection.

Drop Chance

AUG | Amber Slipstream is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Horizon Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Horizon Case (about 1 in 88). 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 0.55. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($2.07): The smoky grey and vibrant orange hydrographic are at their highest saturation, with minimal to no visible scratches on the receiver, stock, or barrel housing.
• Minimal Wear ($0.62): Overall appearance is very close to Factory New, with strong grey and orange contrast; only light edge wear or faint scratching on the most exposed corners is expected.
• Field-Tested ($0.80): Noticeable wear appears on edges, the front barrel housing, and stock corners; orange areas may start to dull slightly, and the smoky grey may show more base material on highly exposed spots.
• Well-Worn ($0.94): The hydrographic coverage looks significantly more worn, with larger patches of faded color and visible surface wear, particularly on the front half of the weapon and the edges visible in first-person.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.39): The hydrographic is heavily degraded on exposed areas, with substantial fading and chipping; large portions of the pattern may appear washed out or partially absent, especially around edges and the front assembly.
