AWP | Градиент

Origin Story

The AWP | Fade, released on December 3, 2020, as part of the Control Collection with Operation Broken Fang, applies the iconic Fade finish to the AWP. Its design features transparent paints airbrushed together over a chrome base coat, creating a vibrant gradient from gold through pink to deep purple.The AWP | Fade is considered a premium outcome from Control Collection trade-ups, often discussed as a long-term hold for collectors. It stands out visually with its high saturation, chrome-like sheen, and smooth color transitions, aligning it with other luxury AWP finishes.

Drop Chance

AWP | Fade is Covert, a Red-tier skin, the rarest standard drop grade. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Control Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Covert drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. It is the only Covert skin in the collection. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Sticker Compatibility

The AWP | Fade's vibrant yellow, pink, and purple gradient with a chrome sheen makes it an excellent canvas for sticker customization.
