Introduction (Black Scope)

The AWP | Arsenic Spill was introduced in the latest CS update on March 31, 2025, as part of the new Radiant Collection. This skin, which gives off a graffiti-like vibe, features shades of gray, black, and scattered yellow splashes across its body — with 1000 unique pattern seeds.

I took the time to check every single pattern one by one and decided to highlight the ones I personally found the most visually appealing. My main criteria were: a generous amount of yellow splashes on the body and a dark, almost black scope when the skin is in idle view — giving it a clean, luxurious look for a relatively budget-friendly skin.

Based on that, I created a simple tier list with a few details explained below. Keep in mind, this is just based on my personal taste — feel free to build your own tier list depending on what you like best.

One important note: the “black scope” effect can only be seen while the weapon is idle. Across all 1000 patterns, I didn’t find a single one where the scope was completely black with no yellow at all — so all of them will show at least a little bit of yellow depending on the angle.

Tier 1 – Hidden Yellow (Best Look)

Tier 1 Patterns: 881, 885, 87

In this tier, the yellow part is completely hidden while in idle view. The scope and body appear clean and dark, giving the AWP a full blacked-out look. This is the most sought-after appearance for a clean aesthetic.

Best Pattern: 881

Pattern: 885

Tier 2 – Barely Noticeable Yellow

Tier 2 Patterns: 270, 325, 504, 913, 941, 989

This tier shows a very faint amount of yellow in idle view. It’s almost unnoticeable unless you look closely. Still considered a clean version, but not as flawless as Tier 1.

Pattern: 270

Pattern: 325

Tier 3 – Slight Yellow Visible

Tier 3 Patterns: 80, 157, 331, 355, 413, 541, 773

In this tier, the yellow is visible but still subtle. It doesn't overpower the black scope look, but it’s clearly there when inspecting the skin casually.

Pattern: 80

Pattern: 157

Honorable Mentions (Black Scope)

Honorable Mentions: 35, 41, 72, 165, 255, 374, 388, 395, 411, 457, 508, 517, 653, 670, 678, 698, 785, 896

While the patterns in the tier list are my personal favorites based on yellow splash placement and a dark scope in idle view, I also came across a few other patterns that didn’t quite make the cut — but still have interesting visuals that some people might really enjoy.

These honorable mentions may not have the cleanest black scope or the most vibrant yellow, but they offer a nice balance or unique look that’s worth checking out. Taste is subjective, so you might find your favorite among these!

Pattern: 35

Pattern: 41

Introduction (Yellow Splash)

While checking all 1000 patterns, I found a huge number of skins with heavy yellow splashes — way more than the ones featured in the main tier list. These vibrant patterns might appeal to players who prefer a bold, flashy look over the clean black scope style.

To be honest, I ended up collecting a lot of examples because I just couldn’t decide which ones looked the best — the list got out of hand real quick 😅. So instead of showcasing all of them here, I’ve decided to share screenshots of just a few selected examples to give you a general idea of what these high-yellow patterns look like.

They're not necessarily the cleanest, but if you’re into that bright yellow graffiti vibe, you might find something you love among them.

Tier 1 – Full Yellow Splash (Most Vibrant Look)

Tier 1: 29,34,42,104,106,111,112,119,120,123,129,130,146,148,149,163,165,170,173,174,183,200,219,226,227,235,239,245,264,274,276,299,339,350,351,356,361,365,387,388,390,392,395,397,448,462,469,482,496,545,563,610,612,613,640,644,645,650,657,658,685,686,708,740,746,747,787,788,789,792,793,794,795,798,800,803,804,809,823,827,843,881,908,923,954,967,987

This tier features patterns with very heavy yellow coverage across the body. The yellow is dominant and eye-catching, giving the skin a bold and aggressive style. Perfect for players who want their AWP to stand out with a graffiti-like, high-contrast look.

Pattern: 239

Tier 2 – Strong Yellow Presence

Tier 2: 136,140,150,156,161,190,220,224,244,249,257,271,278,283,344,358,400,401,407,419,424,479,499,547,572,581,586,593,601,607,608,618,643,646,647,652,684,691,695,711,712,721,745,754,764,768,790,796,797,801,811,819,825,826,830,834,835,842,844,847,859,876,887,893,905,911,921,947,973,981,992,993,997

Patterns in this tier still have a lot of yellow, but it's a bit more balanced with the black and gray tones. The yellow is clearly visible, especially on the body, but doesn’t completely take over the design. A good middle ground between flashy and controlled.

Pattern: 830

Tier 3 – AWP with Stripes (Tiger Vibes)(Yellow Flash)

Tier 3:
131,132,133,142,144,157,158,180,182,185,199,229,236,247,263,288,289,337,376,389,393,414,420,436,471,472,474,475,478,480,486,522,530,621,631,664,687,701,704,716,728,757,767,771,773,799,805,806,807,822,846,890,922,957

These patterns have subtle yellow lines or streaks across the body that resemble stripes. While the effect is not very strong, it gives the skin a slightly wild and unique touch — almost like a tiger or a yellow flash-inspired design. Of course, it’s just a visual impression, since the lines are quite soft and not sharply defined. Still, if you’re into more artistic or animal-themed styles, these might stand out to you.

Pattern: 701

Honorable Mentions – Personal Favorites

Honorable Mentions: 239,274,276,289,297,307,344,351,356,361,376,388,395,397,469,471,474,480,487,560,601,631,659,687,701,705,716,789,792,798,803,806,808,809,823,827,833,838,952,989,632

While going through all 1000 patterns, I came across a few that simply caught my eye — no specific reason, no strict criteria. Some had interesting spacing, others looked cleaner than usual, and a few just had a nice vibe overall.

These patterns might appear in one of the main tier lists, or they might not. I picked them purely because I liked how they looked while browsing. So consider this section a small gallery of skins that stood out to me personally, regardless of technical details.

Taste is subjective, and maybe you'll like them too!

Pattern: 823

Thanks for Reading

If you made it all the way down here — thank you! I really appreciate your time. If you enjoyed this guide or found it helpful, please consider rating it and leaving a Community Award. That kind of support helps a lot and motivates me to keep making more content like this.

This was my first ever guide, and I put a lot of time into it — over 8 hours spent checking all 1000 patterns. First, I reviewed them all to find the ones with the most yellow. Then, after spotting pattern #885, I realized there might be patterns with a black scope in idle view... so I went through all 1000 patterns again, this time focusing on the scope appearance.

If you have any feedback, feel free to share — I’d love to hear your thoughts and improve future guides.

Even just leaving a like helps a ton. Thanks again, and good luck hunting your perfect Arsenic!
