AWP | Redline

AWP | Redline is a CS2 sniper rifle skin combining dark carbon-fiber texture with thin red pinstripes. Its restrained black-and-gray palette suits players who prefer sharp accents over bright, full-body artwork. The finish comes in Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. Standard, StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions give buyers different options to compare.

Description

AWP | Redline applies a Custom Paint Job finish to the AWP sniper rifle in CS2. Black and dark gray dominate the weapon, while narrow red lines give the design its defining contrast. Carbon-fiber detailing adds texture without turning the rifle into a busy, multicolored design. The mostly plain barrel, scope and folded bipod keep attention on the patterned body and stock. Its appearance suits players building a dark loadout with a controlled red accent rather than an all-over bright finish. Documented professional owners include device, FalleN and dupreeh, providing a concrete connection to professional players without establishing broader demand. Buyers can choose between available exteriors and versions while keeping the same underlying Redline design. Before buying, selling or arranging a trade, compare the individual copy's float value, exterior and version rather than relying on the finish name alone.

History and Origin

AWP | Redline was released on December 18, 2013, as part of the Winter Offensive update. Its debut case was the Winter Offensive Weapon Case, which remains an acquisition route through existing containers. The skin belongs to The Winter Offensive Collection, connecting it to that collection's case contents and trade-up possibilities. Its designer is emkay, a community creator associated with the Steam Workshop. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, and the Winter Offensive Weapon Case no longer drops. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened, so retirement does not make the skin unobtainable. Today, direct marketplace purchases and player trades offer alternatives to opening the original case for a random result. Trade Up Contracts also provide a collection-based route, although the Classified outcome is not guaranteed to be Redline.

Finish Style

The Redline finish uses Custom Paint Job styling to combine a carbon-fiber effect with red pinstripe detailing. A fine weave is visible across the main body, grip and stock, giving the dark surfaces a textured appearance. The base palette stays predominantly black and dark gray, leaving the red accents as the clearest color contrast. Thin lines follow the upper body before sweeping downward across the stock and rising toward its rear. Additional red details sit near the scope mount, beneath the magazine area and along the butt edge. The long barrel, scope and folded bipod remain mostly plain dark metal rather than carrying the same prominent weave. The finish combines a hydrographic carbon-fiber treatment with a transferred red decal, bringing patterned texture and precise linework together. Its visual character comes from the placement of those narrow accents, not from broad colored panels or elaborate illustrated artwork.

Float Value

AWP | Redline has an exact float range of 0.10 to 0.40. Its available exteriors are Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn, with neither Factory New nor Battle-Scarred available. StatTrak and Souvenir versions also exist, but version availability is separate from the float value and cosmetic condition of an individual copy.

Rarity and Popularity

AWP | Redline has the Classified rarity grade, which is separate from its exterior condition and version. Its stated chance from the Winter Offensive Weapon Case is 1.07%, or about 1 in 94 openings. Although the case no longer drops, existing cases, marketplace listings and player trades remain relevant acquisition routes.

Why it’s Popular:

• Dark carbon-fiber texture with clear red accents

• Restrained styling for black-and-red loadouts

• Documented ownership by professional players

• Standard, StatTrak and Souvenir options

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range for AWP | Redline is $30.01 to $167.95. These bounds cover the whole skin rather than a fixed exterior or version. Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn listings should be checked for their individual float values as well as their exterior labels. Standard, StatTrak and Souvenir copies should be compared separately instead of treated as interchangeable offers. When choosing where to buy, match the version and cosmetic condition first, then compare the listing prices for copies that fit those requirements.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open the Winter Offensive Weapon Case

Open the Winter Offensive Weapon Case for a chance to receive AWP | Redline, with a stated probability of 1.07%. The case no longer drops, but existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened. This route gives a random result rather than a guaranteed Redline.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A Trade Up Contract can use 10 Restricted skins from The Winter Offensive Collection to produce 1 Classified skin from that collection. AWP | Redline is a possible result, but the outcome is random among the collection's Classified skins. Choose this route only with that uncertainty in mind.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

AWP | Redline can be bought directly on the Steam Community Market rather than obtained through a random case opening. Compare the listed exterior and version, including standard, StatTrak and Souvenir options. Direct purchasing allows selection of a listing instead of relying on a case or contract outcome.

5. Trade with Other Players

AWP | Redline can also be obtained through a trade with another player. Check the offered copy's exterior, float value and version before agreeing to the exchange. Those details help distinguish the actual item being traded from other copies with the same finish name.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Retired case drops restrict new Winter Offensive Weapon Case supply, but existing cases can still produce additional skins when opened. Professional ownership supports the finish's visibility, although it does not establish resale demand, price trends or how quickly a listing will sell. For a purchase, sale or trade, compare like-for-like exteriors and versions before judging whether an offer is competitive.

Reasons it Holds Value

• No new Winter Offensive Weapon Case drops

• Documented ownership by device, FalleN and dupreeh

• Distinctive carbon-fiber texture and red pinstripes

• StatTrak and Souvenir options for different collecting preferences

The editorial investment rating is medium, supported by retired case drops, documented professional ownership and a distinctive finish. Existing case openings can still add copies, while future demand and price direction remain uncertain. It is better assessed as a playable collectible with version-specific pricing than as a purchase with predictable returns.
