The AWP in CS:GO is the definition of a high-risk and high-reward in gaming. While using that gun, the player is vulnerable to many potential short-distance threats. However, long rage is where it shines. A famous "one shot, one kill" quote describes it perfectly. Now, with the AWP Lightning Strike skin, the opponents will be executed while wielding a gun with painted lightning strikes over the metallic base of the weapon.

First Appearance

On the 14th of August 2013, the Lightning Strike skin was added to the game. It was a part of 'The Arms Deal' update, featuring in the Arms Deal Collection.

Pattern and Style

The body part of the weapon is characterised by purple metallic paint and a realistic strike of lightning. The painting style is "Anodized Multicolor", in which the candy coat can be added in a multicolour pattern. Additionally, indexes of a different pattern don't affect the Lightning Strike finish.
