Most Expensive CS2 Skins - AWP Dragon Lore
Whether you have played 1 or 10,000 hours of Counter-Strike 2, there is a good chance you have at least heard of the AWP Dragon Lore at some point. The skin is arguably the most iconic weapon skin in any video game, thanks to its beautiful artwork and insane price.
The Story of the AWP Dragon Lore
The AWP Dragon Lore was first added to Counter-Strike on July 1, 2014, during Operation Breakout, the same operation that introduced the iconic Butterfly Knife. The Dragon Lore was added to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive as the Covert(red) skin in the Cobblestone Collection. The skin gained popularity immediately thanks to its incredible artwork, and before long it became one of CS:GO's most popular weapons. Today, almost 10 years after the initial release of the AWP Dragon Lore, the skin remains the most iconic and one of the most expensive to touch the game.

Why is the AWP Dragon Lore so Expensive?

With the current cheapest listing for a Cobblestone Souvenir Package on BitSkins being $1,265, it would cost you around $4,941,090 on average to unbox an AWP Dragon Lore.
