AWP | Redline (Minimal Wear)

The AWP | Redline (Minimal Wear) is a Classified sniper skin — a carbon-fiber body accented with a bold red pinstripe over cool gray tones. Because the finish never rolls in Factory New, Minimal Wear is the highest grade it comes in.

Design

Redline gives the AWP a sleek, sporty look: a carbon-fiber hydrographic base in red and gray, cut by a single dry-transfer red pinstripe that leans on racing-inspired speed motifs rather than busy graphics. It's a community design by the artist emkay, and it ships with a fitting in-game line: "Never be afraid to push it to the limit."

AWP | Redline (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

The finish is float-capped at 0.10 on the low end, so no Factory New exists and Minimal Wear is the top grade you can buy. At this level the carbon weave reads sharp, the red pinstripe stays fully saturated, and any surface wear is faint at most. For anyone chasing the design as close to flawless as the skin allows, this is the grade to target.

AWP | Redline Rarity

Rarity: Classified — the pink tier, second from the top of the standard weapon grades and one step under Covert. It's a genuinely uncommon grade to pull from a case.

AWP | Redline Case and Collection

The AWP | Redline is part of The Winter Offensive Collection and drops from the Winter Offensive Weapon Case, released with the Winter Offensive update in December 2013. The Classified tier as a whole unboxes about 3.2% of the time (a rate shared across the tier's skins), and with the Winter Offensive Case out of the active drop pool, supply is fixed — most copies are bought on the market rather than unboxed.

AWP | Redline Patterns

The Redline has no random pattern variation — the carbon weave and red pinstripe sit the same way on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" to hunt. Wear and float are the only things that separate one from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ AWP | Redline exists and adds a confirmed-kill counter; it's a rarer, pricier drop from the same Winter Offensive Weapon Case, and the counter is permanent, carrying over when the item is traded or sold. There's no Souvenir version — Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and the Winter Offensive Case was never a Major drop.

AWP | Redline Price

Minimal Wear sits at the top of the Redline price ladder as the highest grade available — a clear step above Field-Tested, though the finish as a whole is an accessible mid-range AWP rather than grail money. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear worth it over Field-Tested?

It comes down to priorities. Minimal Wear is the highest grade, with the tightest-looking carbon weave, but the darker base hides wear so well that a Field-Tested copy looks almost identical for noticeably less. Pay up if you want the best condition on the shelf; otherwise Field-Tested is the smarter value.

Why is there no Factory New AWP | Redline?

The finish is float-capped at 0.10, and the game never rolls a copy below that. Factory New needs a float under 0.07, so it simply can't exist here — Minimal Wear is the highest grade the skin reaches.

Which gloves go with the Redline?

Its red-and-gray, carbon-look palette suits a dark, high-contrast loadout, so red, gray, or black gloves work best — a red pair picks up the pinstripe, while gray or carbon-style wraps echo the sporty base. It also pairs naturally with the AK-47 | Redline for a matching set.
