AWP | POP AWP by Chemical Alia appeared in CS:GO on September 22, 2021. The skin belongs to The 2021 Train Collection that was introduced to the shooter along with Operation Riptide.

The artwork is done in the style of Cubism, a painting movement from the early 20th century, popular in Europe at the time. Russian artists played a prominent role in this movement, which likely explains the presence of Russian writings on the skin: “УПРАЖНЯТ” and “СЯ.” These two words (the second one is actually a suffix) together mean “to exercise”.

The pattern index determines how elements of the design (such as writings) are placed on the surface of the sniper rifle. There are no valuable pattern variations for this skin.

Float Value of AWP | POP AWP can vary between 0.00 and 0.44, 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, primarily from the edges and bipod. With heavy wear, the rifle loses about half of its paint.

AWP | POP AWP belongs to the “Restricted” rarity grade and is unavailable in either souvenir or StatTrak versions. The skin is moderately popular among CS2 players.
