AWP Skins: Every Finish on Steam, Sorted Into Five Price Bands

The count depends on where you look, so here is the reconciliation rather than a single number pulled from a listicle.

The Counter-Strike Wiki keeps a table of every skin by collection, the Skins/List page. Read through its api.php endpoint on 29 October 2026, it has 42 AWP rows. That page was last edited on 24 March 2025, so it predates the newer collections. The wiki's AWP gallery page is more recent (last edited 4 October 2026) but lists only 38 finishes, plus the Doodle Lore, which the gallery records as removed in the 15 February 2023 update.

Steam's market is the other side. Searching "AWP" on the Steam Community Market returned 496 item names that morning. After dropping 117 StatTrak names, 137 Souvenir names and 31 stickers, charms and graffiti that merely contain the word, 211 regular AWP items were left. Those 211 items are 48 distinct finishes, each in the wear tiers that happened to have a listing.

Put the two side by side and the gaps explain each other:

• 10 finishes are on Steam but not in the wiki table: Arsenic Spill, Black Box, Exothermic, Green Energy, Ice Coaled, LongDog, Printstream, Queen's Gambit, Sovereign Flame and The End. They exist, they have hundreds or thousands of listings, and the wiki table simply has not caught up.
• 4 finishes are in the wiki table but had no Steam listing: Dragon Lore, Medusa, Gungnir and The Prince. I checked a Field-Tested example of each on Steam's price endpoint as well; all four came back with no price at all.

42 plus 10 makes 52 AWP finishes in total, of which 48 were buyable on Steam that day. I use 52 as the count of finishes and 48 as the count I could price. The Doodle Lore is not in either number, because it was removed from the game.

A price band is only as honest as the read behind it, so this is exactly what I measured. Between 06:47 and 06:55 UTC on 29 October 2026 I paged through all 50 result pages of Steam's market search for "AWP" (appid 730, ten results per page, one request every three seconds or so). Steam rate-limited one page; I waited and fetched it again, and the final set matched Steam's own total of 496 names.

For each of the 48 finishes I recorded the lowest asking price across every wear tier with at least one listing, which wear tier that listing was in, and the total number of listings across all wears. StatTrak and Souvenir versions are left out of the bands, because they are separate items with their own prices. That gives one "entry price" per finish: the least you could have paid that morning to own it in any condition.

Three caveats matter when you read the tables:

• The entry price is often a worn copy. Of the 48 entry prices, 30 were Battle-Scarred or Well-Worn. A Factory New copy of the same finish can cost many times more, so the per-band sections show the wear spread for the finishes where it changes the decision. The CS2 float chart explains what each wear tier looks like.
• "No listing" means none that morning. When a finish shows no listing in a tier, Steam had nothing for sale in it at that moment. I am not claiming the tier cannot exist.
• These are Steam prices, not my feed's prices. My continuous feed records the lowest listing across third-party marketplaces, which excludes Steam. On 1 November 2026 the feed had a Battle-Scarred Asiimov at $68.06, while Steam's cheapest a day later was $87.40. That gap is normal, and it is why I never mix the two sources in one table. Where to buy covers the trade-off.

The bottom band is small in finishes and enormous in supply. Four finishes started below a dollar, and between them they had 28,230 listings, 41% of the 69,366 regular AWP listings on Steam that morning.

Safari Mesh is the floor of the whole rifle at $0.18, and it is the only Industrial Grade AWP in this band. It is also the one place where wear changes everything: a Factory New Safari Mesh started at $6.27, 35 times its Field-Tested price, with only 139 Factory New listings against 4,867 in Field-Tested.

Arsenic Spill is the opposite case and the best value in the band. Its five wear tiers were all listed, and the Factory New copy started at $0.85, while the Field-Tested started at $0.41. For less than a dollar you get the clean version of the skin. Acheron and Capillary both started at $0.85 or more in Battle-Scarred, and their Factory New copies started at $8.94 and $6.29.

This is the busiest band by number of listings: 15 finishes and 31,381 listings. It mixes Restricted and Classified finishes, which shows that rarity alone does not set an AWP's price. Mortis, Green Energy, Duality and Ice Coaled are Classified and still started under $5.

Pit Viper, at $1.07, is the only finish here with no Factory New listing that morning; its cheapest condition was Field-Tested with 2,888 listings. The Atheris is one of the three AWPs in my continuous feed, which had a Field-Tested copy at $3.63 on 1 November 2026, against $5.17 on Steam.

What makes this band worth a careful look is how cheap the top wear can be:

A Factory New Worm God started at $4.46, only $1.66 more than the cheapest Field-Tested one, and it had 944 Factory New listings. Duality and Mortis both had Factory New copies around $10, about three times their Field-Tested prices. If you are going to own a $3 AWP for a long time, paying a few dollars more for the clean version is the easiest upgrade on the rifle.

Twenty-one of the 48 finishes started in this band, more than any other, and it is where most of the well-known Covert AWPs sit once you accept a worn copy. Listings thin out sharply: 9,186 across 21 finishes, about a third of the under-$1 band's supply.

Two rows surprise people. Snake Camo is a Mil-Spec finish, the second-lowest grade on this rifle, yet its cheapest copy was $91.85, with just 50 listings across all wears. Pink DDPAT, a Restricted finish, started at $24.99 with 93 listings. Low supply, not grade, is what lifts them.

The other pattern is that the entry price here is usually a worn copy, and the Factory New price can be in a different band altogether:

The Neo-Noir is the outlier worth knowing: its Factory New copy started at $52.99, only $9.59 above its cheapest Well-Worn, with 229 Factory New listings. The Printstream is the reverse: $50.60 Well-Worn, $170.68 Factory New. The Asiimov had no Factory New or Minimal Wear listing at all, which matches what my AWP Asiimov page found in its own checks. My feed's Field-Tested Wildfire was $36.23 on 1 November 2026; Steam's cheapest was $50.57.

The band count drops to seven finishes and the listing count to 564. Most of these are Covert, but Silk Tiger, Graphite and BOOM are Classified.

Several finishes in this band only had listings in one or two wear tiers that morning: Fade only in Factory New, Lightning Strike and Graphite only in Factory New and Minimal Wear, Man-o'-war only in Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. That narrows the choice. If you want a Fade AWP on Steam, you are buying a Factory New copy at $813.85 or more, from 21 listings.

Silk Tiger had one of the thinnest markets in the band, 23 listings across five tiers, with a Factory New copy at $833.17 against $195.38 for Battle-Scarred. With that few listings, one sale moves the floor, so treat its prices as the least reliable in this table. Graphite is the opposite: 110 Factory New listings starting at $155.82, the deepest Factory New supply in the band.

Only the Desert Hydra had a Steam listing over $1,000 on 29 October 2026, and only five copies were for sale: four Field-Tested from $1,349.00 and one Well-Worn at $1,535.75. Steam had no Factory New, Minimal Wear or Battle-Scarred Desert Hydra listed.

The four most famous AWPs are not on that list at all. Dragon Lore, Medusa, Gungnir and The Prince had no Steam listing, and Steam's price endpoint returned no price for them. They change hands on third-party marketplaces instead. The Dragon Lore is the only one of the four in my continuous feed:

The Dragon Lore price page tracks each wear over time, and the Souvenir Dragon Lore page covers the tournament version. I do not track Medusa, Gungnir or The Prince, so I give no price for them here rather than guess.

"Best" is a matter of taste, so my picks follow one rule I can defend with the numbers: within each budget, buy the finish that gets you the best wear tier for the money, from a finish with enough listings that the price is real. Every price below is the lowest Steam listing on 29 October 2026.

• Under $1: Arsenic Spill, Factory New, $0.85. It is the only AWP you can own in Factory New for under a dollar, and 742 Factory New copies were listed. The Safari Mesh is cheaper at $0.18, but only in Field-Tested.
• Under $5: Worm God, Factory New, $4.46. The smallest gap between Field-Tested and Factory New of any finish I measured in the $1 to $10 band, with 944 Factory New listings.
• Around $10: Duality or Mortis, Factory New, $10.12 and $10.77. Both are Classified, both had hundreds of Factory New listings (418 and 394), and each costs about three times its Field-Tested price, a premium worth paying at this level.
• Around $20: Fever Dream, Factory New, $19.73. 274 Factory New listings, and the whole wear range sat between $13.65 and $19.73, so you are not paying much for the top tier.
• Around $50: Neo-Noir, Factory New, $52.99. A Covert AWP in Factory New for about $50, with 229 listings. The Printstream and Wildfire are similar money only in Well-Worn or Field-Tested.
• Around $150: Graphite, Factory New, $155.82, or a Factory New Printstream from $170.68 if you prefer the Covert.
• $500 to $850: Lightning Strike, Factory New, $583.14. It sits $230.71 below the Fade's cheapest copy and had 33 Factory New listings against the Fade's 21.
• Over $1,000: on Steam, only the Field-Tested Desert Hydra from $1,349.00. Beyond that you are shopping for a Dragon Lore, Medusa, Gungnir or Prince off Steam, and the marketplace guide matters more than any pick.

Two things change these picks. If you play a lot, wear matters less than you think on a scoped rifle, and a worn Asiimov or Printstream saves real money. If you might sell later, prefer the finishes with deep listing counts, because a thin market (Silk Tiger, Snake Camo, Desert Hydra) is where you wait longest for a buyer. For the rest of the market beyond the AWP, start from the CS2 skin price checker home page.
