About AWP | Gungnir
The AWP | Gungnir in Battle-Scarred is the most accessible wear tier of CS2's most ornate AWP. With wear values 0.45-1.00, BS Gungnir trades around $7,800 — a 46% discount from FN's $14,500. For collectors who want a Gungnir at the lowest possible entry but accept significant visual aging, BS is the gateway tier.
Visual Differences vs FN: At BS float, the gold and silver runic engravings show pronounced wear, with edge erosion and reduced metallic sheen. The deep midnight-blue base color remains identifiable but with surface scratching visible at any inspect distance. The dense ornamental detail of Gungnir holds up better at BS than most other AWP Coverts — but the visual gap from FN is substantial.
Supply: BS Gungnir is the smallest wear segment — approximately 8% of total ~5,500 Gungnirs are BS (~440 specimens). The high-float distribution skews toward FT/WW, making BS relatively scarce.
Market position: BS Gungnir appreciation matches the broader Gungnir trajectory (+18% per year through 2025-2026). For collectors prioritizing access over pristine condition, BS Gungnir at $7,800 represents one of the highest "ornate AWP per dollar" ratios in the market.
