Many players who enjoy the game of Counter-Strike Global Offensive have their own reasons for why they love it so much. One of the countless great features of CS:GO is the wide weapons choice list it offers. Different players prefer a different type of weapon, which is totally acceptable. However, among the top and most powerful options added is the AWP, which is a type of sniper rifle that deals astonishing amounts of damage.
One of the things that make this weapon highly enjoyable to play is the experience and skill you've obtained with it. Another is the different range of available skins you have to choose from and buy. Today, we will reveal some of the best AWP skins in CS:GO that will offer more than one benefit.

5 Best AWP Skins in CS:GO
Not everyone will agree with our top choices, as we are simply listing a few of the best AWP skins we feel are among the most popular and worth having. We will review features and details like float factors and wear levels, price, market and StatTrak availability, grade, and more.
AWP | Medusa (Field-Tested)
First off we have the AWP Medusa, a skin that is more on the expensive side and is even worth around $1000 in Well-Worn condition. You may be asking, why have we listed the Field-Tested version here and the probable best one, such as a Factory New model. Well, first of all, it's quite hard to find the Medusa available on the market in Factory New condition. Second, the added Field-Tested option is more than sufficient and costs just under $2000, making it great to make some serious money or show off with your cool AWP design.
Usually, the difference in price between a Well-Worn Medusa AWP skin and a Filed-Tested one isn't even that great, urging you to go for the better AWP pattern option most of the time. All in all, this is a relatively expensive covert sniper rifle AWP skin that can benefit you in more than one way.
AWP | Graphite (Factory New)
When you look at the AWP Graphite skin, you will notice that we aren't listing them in order of price. It costs significantly less than the other AWP skin above. The usual price range for the AWP Graphite is between $90 and $400. It is only available for purchase in two conditions, Factory New and Minimal Wear and not in Field-Tested and below. The normal versions of this skin usually cost around $100, but the StatTrak models can reach prices up to $400, which is quite a great bargain for most.
AWP | Atheris (Factory New)
The next AWP skin on our list that many want to get their hands on includes the AWP Atheris. This is one of the cheapest AWP skins we have to show which is actually a great thing. This means you won't have to buy the Battle-Scarred version if you are low on cash. The maximum a StatTrak Factory New Atheris has been priced is around $35. It's actually among the coolest-looking skins that aren't at all expensive to purchase or rent. The lowest cost for this Restricted grade skin is around $2.
AWP | Neo-Noir (Factory New)
The AWP Neo-Noir is a nicely priced Covert AWP skin that usually costs anywhere between $25 and $130, including StatTrak models as well. It's available in all wear levels and is one of the top AWP skins in CS:GO. It was added back in 2018 and features a unique nicely colored design pattern.
AWP | Dragon Lore (Factory New)
The Dragon Lore AWP skin may very well be among the most expensive skins CS:GO has ever seen. In fact, this skin is rarely seen in a standard CS:GO match. There aren't that many AWP Dragon Lore skins out there, and it's almost impossible to find it for purchase on Steam. This skin is Covert grade and is Souvenir available. The Dragon Lore was sold for an incredible $61.000 back in January 2018.
AWP | Containment Breach (Minimal Wear)
Before we say anything else, you might be wondering why we're talking about the Minimal Wear model and not the Factory New. Well, this is because the Factory New almost doubles in cost, and the difference isn't that bad, to be honest.
If you're looking at the StatTrak models, the Factory New one can cost even more than double, a little under $600. If you're thinking about this AWP skin, the basic Minimal Wear model costs around $80, and the Factory New ones are close to $180. You can check for more on Steam, but the prices are usually in this range. Even Field-Tested isn't a bad choice to search and check for in this case.
AWP | Asiimov (Field-Tested)
The AWP Asiimov is probably among the most attractive and visible AWP skins that you will see in CS:GO. It's quite surprising that this skin doesn't cost thousands of dollars, as its usual cost ranges include anything from $50 to $200.
This may have something to do with the fact that the AWP Asiimov is only available to get in Field-Tested level and below. The AWP Asiimov is a Covert grade CS:GO skin with a colorful and bright design. Spotting this beauty in a game will definitely make your day, even if you get shot and someone scores a kill on you with it.
AWP | Lightning Strike (Minimal Wear)
Lastly, another amazingly attractive and noticeable AWP CS:GO skin. This gorgeous AWP beauty features a dangerous lightning bolt spanning across it. It isn't available in anything between Battle-Scarred and Filed-Tested conditions. Only, Minimal Wear and up. The Minimal Wear version of this AWP weapon skin is more expensive than the Factory New on. The basic versions aren't very expensive, ranging between $250 and $290. The StatTrak ones, however, can reach prices up to $1200.
