About the AWP | Dragon Lore
The AWP | Dragon Lore is the most famous skin in Counter-Strike. It is a Covert sniper rifle skin from The Cobblestone Collection, released in CS:GO in 2014, and for most of the time since it has been the skin people name when they talk about rare and valuable items. That standing carried over to CS2.
Three things built its reputation. It sits on the AWP, the most recognizable weapon in the game. It comes from a collection with no weapon case, so it was never easy to get. And its Souvenir version is tied to Major tournaments, where packages dropped for viewers during matches played on Cobblestone.
The Dragon Lore AWP is a collector's skin, but it trades more actively than most items at its level. The wear tabs at the top of this page show the current Dragon Lore price for each condition.
Design
The Dragon Lore uses a custom paint job. A knotwork dragon in gold and orange coils along the body of the rifle, over a muted brown and grey base. The colors on this page break down as mostly orange and yellow, with brown and grey underneath.
The artwork is the same on every copy. There is no pattern to check, so the look of a particular Dragon Lore comes down to its wear and, on Souvenir copies, its stickers.
How to Get the AWP | Dragon Lore
The Cobblestone Collection is retired. It no longer drops in the game, and Cobblestone Souvenir Packages are no longer awarded. That leaves two ways to get a Dragon Lore today.
- Buy it from a marketplace. This is the route almost every buyer takes. The offers at the top of this page show every marketplace with a listing.
- Trade up to it. Ten Classified skins from The Cobblestone Collection trade up into a Dragon Lore. The only Classified in the collection is the M4A1-S | Knight, which is a rare and valuable skin in its own right. Check the cost of ten before treating a trade-up as the cheaper route.
A trade-up always produces a standard Dragon Lore. Souvenir copies only ever came from Cobblestone Souvenir Packages, such as the ones linked on this page.
Wear Conditions and Float
The Dragon Lore has a float range from 0.00 to 0.70, so it exists in all five wear conditions: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. Because the range stops at 0.70, even the most worn copies are less damaged than Battle-Scarred skins that run all the way to 1.00.
Wear matters on this skin because the paintwork is the point. Cleaner copies keep the dragon intact, and scratching builds up 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 Dragon Lore comes in a standard version and a Souvenir version. Pricempire lists the two separately, so you can compare them using the Normal and Souvenir toggle. There is no StatTrak™ version.
A Souvenir AWP | Dragon Lore carries gold stickers from the Major match it dropped in. Which tournament and which teams are on it can matter as much as its wear, so look at the stickers on any Souvenir listing before you compare prices.
What Drives the Price of the AWP | Dragon Lore
- Fixed supply. The collection is retired, so new copies only appear through trade-ups, and each one uses up ten Knights.
- Wear. The gap between conditions is wide on this skin. Factory New copies are scarce and priced well above worn ones.
- Float within a condition. A low float inside any wear bracket usually carries a premium.
- Souvenir status. Souvenir copies are priced separately, and their value depends heavily on the tournament and teams on the stickers.
- Applied stickers. On standard copies, rare or well-placed stickers can add value that standard price data does not show.
- Reputation. The Dragon Lore is the skin many collectors want first, which keeps demand steady in a way few other skins can match.
Prices can differ between marketplaces more than they do on everyday skins. Compare the offers above before you buy or sell, and set a price alert if you are waiting for a particular level.
