AWP | POP AWP Patterns Guide: Rare Seeds, Float & Price

What is the POP AWP Skin in CS2?

Released during Operation Riptide in September 2021, the POP AWP belongs to the 2021 Train Collection — a non-case collection no longer available via active drops. Its chaotic design mixes Cyrillic text, angular shapes, and strong red/white/blue contrast.

Quick Facts

Collection: 2021 Train

Float Range: 0.00 – 0.44 (FN–WW only)

No BS, No StatTrak, No Souvenir

Discontinued: Only available on the Steam Market or 3rd-party sites like BitSkins

Its randomness comes from the pattern index (1–1000), which alters how the textures wrap around the AWP. This is where rare seeds come in — certain seeds show cleaner whites, full Cyrillic words, or aesthetic layouts that collectors chase.
