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

Most of the AWP’s surface (the buttstock and receiver) is covered by the image of the white lightning on a violet background. The rest of the weapon is standard black.

Float Value of AWP | Lightning Strike varies between 0.00 and 0.08 – because of that, this skin is obtainable only in “Factory New” and “Minimal Wear” exterior qualities. Due to the narrow range of possible float values, wear doesn't affect the skin much – even at maximum values, only a few abrasions are distinguishable on the surface (mostly near its edge).

AWP | Lightning Strike is categorized as the “Covert” rarity and is obtainable with the StatTrak kill counter. The skin is moderately popular among CS:GO fans.
