AWP | Desert Hydra (Field-Tested) is a stunning and rare sniper rifle skin released in September 2021 as part of the 2021 Mirage Collection. This masterpiece was introduced alongside Operation Riptide and quickly became one of the collection’s most prized pieces. Painted in a Custom Paint Job style, the weapon showcases a vivid desert-themed design featuring a mythical hydra serpent with multiple winding heads stretching across the rifle’s body. The skin blends rich shades of sandy beige, coral red, and turquoise highlights, creating a striking contrast that feels both exotic and dangerous. Its intricate details extend across the stock, scope, and barrel, giving the entire weapon a cohesive, artistic flow. In its Field-Tested condition, the skin shows moderate wear, with visible scratches and slight fading along the weapon’s surface.
