AWP | Sun in Leo appeared in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on May 26, 2015. It belongs to The Gods and Monsters Collection, based on ancient Greek mythology. It was introduced to the shooter with Operation Bloodhound.

The shoulder stock and receiver of the sniper rifle are covered with purple paint, over which a natal chart is depicted, that is used for describing personality and predicting destiny.

The pattern index determines how the elements of the natal chart are arranged on the surface of the sniper rifle. A version with two suns is particularly sought after.

Float Value of the item can vary between 0.00 and 0.50, allowing the skin to be obtainable in any exterior quality category. As the float value increases, the paint gets gradually erased from the weapon's surface. With heavy wear, the gun loses more than half of its paint, causing the design to lose its integrity.

AWP | Sun in Leo is categorized as the “Industrial Grade” rarity and is unavailable in souvenir or StatTrak versions. The skin is moderately popular among CS2 players.
