StatTrak™ AWP | Oni Taiji (Battle-Scarred)

What the StatTrak™ counter does

The StatTrak™ AWP | Oni Taiji (Battle-Scarred, BS) is the StatTrak™ copy of this skin — the same Covert finish, the same look, with a kill counter built into the model. Designed by the community artist L'grand, Oni Taiji is hand painted with samurai battling oni — the demons of Japanese folklore — across the rifle in warm reds, gold accents, and shadowed dark tones. Battle-Scarred covers everything from 0.45 up to 1.00 float — the most heavily worn grade and the cheapest way into the skin.

What StatTrak™ changes about the price of the AWP | Oni Taiji

What the counter tracks is confirmed kills, shown as a running total on the model itself. It is tied to the item, not to the owner, so the number follows the skin from inventory to inventory and only ever goes up. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows.

Where a StatTrak™ copy comes from

The StatTrak™ premium comes from scarcity: far fewer copies exist at the same finish and exterior. It is the finish and the float that set the figure, though — the kill count on a given copy barely moves it either way.

FAQ

A member of The Operation Hydra Collection, Oni Taiji debuted with Operation Hydra in May 2017 and is unboxed from the Operation Hydra Case. StatTrak™ is settled at the drop: a copy either leaves the case with a counter or never has one, and it cannot be added afterwards.

Can the StatTrak counter on the AWP | Oni Taiji be reset?

No. The count only moves one way and stays with the item through every trade and sale. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows. It still cannot lower the number.

Does StatTrak change how the AWP | Oni Taiji looks?

No, apart from the counter on the model. The finish, the pattern and the float range are identical to the plain version, so at the same exterior the two look the same in hand.
