AWP - the art of being a sniper!

Perhaps the most colorful role in the game! Flicks, peeks, and a bunch of downed rivals! Today we will talk about skins, the role itself, and go through the skins a little bit, or not a little bit ?! The author of this article is a sniper himself and spent a lot of time studying and training the game with a sniper rifle, so I definitely have something to share, make yourself comfortable - there will be a lot of information!

AWP Skins

A sniper should be stylish, we love skins, and we love to play beautifully!

Three segments: cheap, not very cheap, and expensive!

Let's start with cheap, but cheap doesn't mean bad.

AWP PAW - peek mid! I can't - I have paws. Cute, stylish, and most importantly cheap! I'm not sure how to describe it more colorfully. Let me just say one thing - from far on the floor, this AWP looks like Dragon Lore, another reason to get this skin and confuse the enemy.

Atheris AWP skin- tree viper, vaguely resembling dragon scales, isn't that enough to get this skin in your collection?! The combination of green and gloomy shades cannot be ugly! (While writing, I wanted to run with him myself, I consider this a weighty argument)

AWP Worm God - in the personal opinion of the author, the weakest of the presented trio, but nevertheless deserves your attention, by adding a sticker to the scope you can get a good device for little money.

Not very cheap, but very nice!

AWP Asiimov - Classic, legend, style! One of the oldest and most legendary AWP skins in CS:GO, I think it's completely deserved to start with this piece of design art! It is strongly recommended to use it in tandem with P250 Asiimov.

AWP Oni Taiji- Japan at its finest! Personally, I don't have this skin, but I constantly ask to drop it for me (my friend got one), a very bright and spectacular skin, if you like the Japanese theme just like the author - this is definitely your choice!

AWP Wildfire - Wildfire! The skin really looks wild, and most importantly, it fits our criteria - the beauty of execution, the price segment, and the effect on the battlefield!

Expensive, and again expensive!

AWP Dragon Lore - Dragon lore - did you really think we could do without him?! I think this skin can be safely called a representative of all skins in CS:GO, because when it comes to them, the first thing that comes to mind is an incredibly expensive dragon. Is it beautiful? Beautifully. Does everyone like it? Not everyone. There are a lot of opinions around this AWP skin, someone loves it, and someone dreams of it - I will only say one thing, this is a legend and it is customary to respect legends.

AWP Gungnir - Young, bold, and very expensive! Many predicted the fate of Dragon Lore for him, and his legacy, is this true? In part, the skin really took its place of honor and became a favorite of many players and collectors, it is initially difficult to appreciate the beauty of this rifle, but take my word for it - once you see it in the game, you will not be able to forget it.

AWP Medusa Skin - The favorite skin of the author closes the top three. By adding the Crown sticker to the scope, we get the ideal in all its glory! (Yes, yes, I had one, if love exists, then it was it), to express my emotions in one word - Beauty! This is how the skin should look like.

Skin selected? Time to talk about the role of the sniper

There are many playstyles with a sniper rifle, can you be aggressive or do you prefer to control part of the map?! It doesn't matter, because the essence is the same - victory in the round at any cost!

Let's discuss it ashore, I personally think that the AWP game should be different depending on your side. So for the T-side, I highly recommend showing aggression and taking on the role of an open fragger (of course, if you are lucky with the respawn), for the defense side, I prefer to take on the role of closing and holding the position, (so often I take control of the mid in order to prevent any pressure on the site from several directions), To understand your style, I recommend watching demos and starting from your personal feelings. Train, play, and develop your unique style of play!

AWP shooting and how to train

In general, shooting styles are basic, and in this case, they train by playing hours in the game itself, but I will still give a couple of tips, but how else?!

Flicks

Not always suitable, but very effective shooting technique.

Suitable in cases when the opponent suddenly appeared in the wrong place where you expected him, a sharp wave of the hand - a shot, a frag! It trains on maps with bots, moves the sight further away from the model, and tries to kill the enemy with a sharp movement, repeat several thousand times, and here it is - you are irresistible!

Shooting accuracy and aiming

The key to good AWP shooting is competent aiming and positioning of the sight. It is much easier to kill an opponent if he himself enters your sight, DM servers will help us with this, go in, select one item from the AWP case and try to aim at the enemy as quickly as possible (do not flick, we are not here for this). Crosshair positioning often comes with experience, but if you want to speed up this process - I recommend Prefire maps from the workshop, they will show you what you are striving for!

The final, or time to say goodbye, but not forever, but only for a while!

In this article, we have sorted out how to look beautiful and play beautifully. In conclusion, I want to say that any skill is developed over time - play, train, make mistakes, and become stronger! And for AWP skins, as always, we go to the guys from https://farmskins.com/ - they are great fellows. See you on the battlefield, stay tuned!
