AWP | BOOM appeared in CS:GO on August 14, 2013. The skin is contained in the eSports 2013 Case that was added to the shooter in “The Arms Deal” update.

The receiver and optical sight are occupied by an orange comic-book-style pattern, which represents various words like “CRACK!”, “POW!” and “BOOM!” placed in speech bubbles. The rest of the weapon is standard black.

The pattern index affects the location of the words. The versions with the “CRACK!” located in the center of the sniper rifle are particularly valuable. Also of peculiar value are versions when the same word is in the area of the buttstock hole. In this case, part of the text “disappears” in the hole, and only the letters “C” and “CK” remain visible, which in the presence of the O-shaped hole, make up an obscene word.

Float Value of AWP | BOOM can vary between 0.06 and 0.28, making the skin obtainable in any exterior quality category except “Well-Worn” and “Battle-Scarred.” As the weapon’s quality deteriorates, the paint on some parts of the rifle’s surface gets gradually erased.

AWP | BOOM belongs to the “Classified” rarity grade and is available with the StatTrak kill counter. The skin isn’t very popular among CS:GO players.
