AWP | Asiimov

AWP | Asiimov is a Covert rifle skin from the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case. The “Asiimov” finish is applied to the AWP. Each unboxing requires the case plus a $2.49 key.

The AWP at $4,750 deals 115 damage with 97.5% armor penetration — a one-shot kill to the chest or head. It defines the sniper role in Counter-Strike and has created some of the most iconic moments in esports history. The AWP Dragon Lore in Souvenir Factory New has sold for over $227,000.

AWP | Asiimov has a float range of 0.18 to 1.00 and is available in 3 wear conditions. In CS2, the float value is permanent — set at drop time and unchangeable. It controls how scratched or clean a skin looks within its wear tier. Extreme floats carry significant premiums: 0.00x copies are prized for their clean look, while 0.999x Battle-Scarred copies like the iconic AWP Asiimov "Blackiimov" are collector's items. Some skins are float-capped and cannot exist in certain wear conditions.

A StatTrak version of this skin is available. StatTrak technology uses an LED counter built into the weapon model that tracks confirmed kills in official matches. StatTrak skins have roughly a 10% chance to drop from each case opening and typically command higher prices than their normal counterparts. Note that the kill counter resets to zero when the skin is traded between players.

As a Covert item, AWP | Asiimov has a 0.3200% chance per opening (1 in 313). Rarity in CS2 directly affects both supply and price. Higher-rarity skins drop less often, which keeps their market value elevated relative to common drops from the same case.

Prices shown are sourced from Steam Community Market and CSFloat, updated every 6 hours. Additional data from Skinport, Buff163, and YouPin. The Steam Community Market charges 15% total fees (5% Steam fee + 10% CS2 game fee), while third-party sites offer lower rates — CSFloat at 2%, Buff163 at 2.5%, and Skinport around 8% — with real-money cashout options. Beyond wear and float, the pattern index (seed 1–999) also affects price for certain finishes like Case Hardened and Fade, where specific patterns can multiply value many times over.
