AWP | Exothermic (Factory New)

The AWP | Exothermic (Factory New) is a Restricted sniper rifle skin wrapped in a red-colored explosive burst pattern. Factory New is the top grade, showing the burst at its most saturated with no scuffing anywhere on the body.

Design

Exothermic covers the rifle in a red explosive burst — a fiery graphic that reads as a blast frozen mid-detonation, all heat and motion rather than fine detail. It leans into that theme with a tongue-in-cheek caption: "Cool guys don't look at explosions."

AWP | Exothermic (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish runs a float range of 0.00–0.70. Factory New is the cleanest condition the finish reaches, and here the red burst stays fully vivid with no abrasion on the edges or the scope housing. The gap to Minimal Wear is real but subtle — a top grade for a buyer who wants the blast exactly as painted. It's the grade to reach for if you want the design at its brightest.

AWP | Exothermic Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the purple tier, sitting one rung above Mil-Spec and directly below Classified on the standard weapon-skin ladder. It's a mid-table grade, scarcer than the common blue skins but more attainable than the pink and red tiers above it.

AWP | Exothermic Case and Collection

Exothermic belongs to The Harlequin Collection. It isn't tied to a weapon case, so copies come from collection drops and from trade-up contracts rather than case openings — which keeps supply modest and puts most units on the open market.

AWP | Exothermic Patterns

Exothermic has no random pattern variation — the red burst is placed the same way on every copy, so there's no paint seed or blue gem to chase. Wear and float are the only things that separate one unit from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak version of this skin. StatTrak counters are generated only for finishes unboxed from weapon cases, and this burst isn't drawn from one. A Souvenir edition doesn't exist either — Souvenir weapons come solely from Major-tournament souvenir packages, and The Harlequin Collection was never part of a Major drop.

AWP | Exothermic Price

Factory New sits at the top of the finish's own price ladder as the highest grade available — the most you'll pay for it, though as one of the more budget AWP finishes it stays far below grail money. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear?

It depends on how much a flawless surface matters to you. Factory New shows the red burst at its most saturated with zero edge wear, but a Minimal Wear copy keeps almost the same punch for less. Pay up if you want the finish at its absolute brightest; otherwise the grade below is the smarter buy.

Which gloves go with Exothermic?

Its fiery red burst suits a warm, aggressive loadout, so red or orange gloves land best — a red pair echoes the blast directly, while orange picks up the hotter tones in the graphic. Black or dark gloves also work if you'd rather let the explosion stay the loudest thing you're holding.

Does Exothermic have StatTrak?

No. StatTrak versions are produced only for skins that drop from weapon cases, and this finish comes through The Harlequin Collection rather than a case, so no kill-counter variant was ever made. If you want a tally of confirmed kills on an AWP, you'll need a different finish that ships from a case.
