About the AWP in CS2
The AWP is CS2's bolt-action sniper rifle, and its name stands for Arctic Warfare Police. It costs $4,750, can be bought by both teams, and kills in one shot to the upper body. That makes it the game's most decisive and most expensive primary weapon.
That status is why AWP skins hold so much value. Every team fields an AWPer, the scope view puts the skin on screen for long stretches, and the gun is on every major broadcast.
