About the AWP | Chrome Cannon
The AWP | Chrome Cannon is a Covert sniper rifle skin from The Kilowatt Collection. It arrived in February 2024 with the Kilowatt Case, the first weapon case released for CS2 after the move from CS:GO, and it quickly became one of the most popular AWP skins in the game.
Its appeal is easy to explain. It is a top-rarity skin for the most recognizable weapon in Counter-Strike, with a mirror finish that no other AWP has, and it comes from a weapon case, so it is far easier to find than the collection-only AWP skins at the top of the market. That makes the Chrome Cannon AWP a popular choice for a first Covert AWP.
It is also one of the most actively traded skins of its kind, with plenty of listings at any time. The wear tabs at the top of this page show the current Chrome Cannon price for each condition.
Design
The Chrome Cannon has a mirror coat across the body of the rifle, with multicolored accents and a carbon fiber scope. The colors on this page break down as mostly grey and black, with brown and red in the accents.
The design is the same on every copy. There is no pattern to check, so the look of a particular Chrome Cannon comes down to its wear. The plain reflective body also makes it a popular base for sticker crafts.
How to Get the AWP | Chrome Cannon
There are three ways to get a Chrome Cannon in CS2.
- Buy it from a marketplace. This is the route most players take, because it lets you pick the exact wear and float. The offers at the top of this page show every marketplace with a listing.
- Open a case. The AWP | Chrome Cannon drops from the Kilowatt Case. It is one of two Covert skins in the case, alongside the AK-47 | Inheritance. Covert drops are rare, at around 0.64% per case.
- Trade up to it. Ten Classified skins from The Kilowatt Collection trade up into one of its two Coverts, so the result is either a Chrome Cannon or an AK-47 | Inheritance. The Classified skins in the collection are the M4A1-S | Black Lotus, USP-S | Jawbreaker, and Zeus x27 | Olympus.
Wear Conditions and Float
The Chrome Cannon has a full float range from 0.00 to 1.00, so it exists in all five wear conditions: Factory New (FN), Minimal Wear (MW), Field-Tested (FT), Well-Worn (WW), and Battle-Scarred (BS).
Wear is easy to see on this skin. A mirror finish shows every mark, so scratches and scuffs stand out more as the float rises. Use the 3D inspect tool on this page to see how a given wear looks before you buy, and check the exact float of any listing, since two copies in the same condition can look different.
Switch between conditions using the tabs above. Each one has its own listings and price history.
Variants
The AWP | Chrome Cannon comes in a standard version and a StatTrak™ version, which counts your kills with the weapon. Pricempire lists each version separately, so you can compare them using the toggle above.
What Drives the Price of the AWP | Chrome Cannon
- Wear. Condition is the biggest factor. Factory New copies are the scarcest and sit well above worn ones.
- Float within a condition. A low float inside any wear bracket usually carries a premium, because the mirror finish looks cleaner.
- StatTrak™. The StatTrak™ version is scarcer than the standard one and priced separately.
- Supply. It comes from a weapon case, so there are far more copies in circulation than there are of collection-only AWP skins. That keeps it within reach for a Covert AWP.
- Demand for the AWP. It is the sniper rifle almost every team relies on, which keeps interest in its Covert skins high.
- Applied stickers. The Chrome Cannon is a common base for sticker crafts, and rare or well-placed stickers can add value that standard price data does not show.
Because it trades so often, prices between marketplaces stay close together. It is still worth comparing the offers above, and setting a price alert if you are waiting for a particular level.
