Our previous article described the most excellent knife skins. This one is about something even more beautiful: new, unblurred skins!
The latest CS2 Armory Update has delivered a treasure trove of over 100 new skins, packed across three new weapon collections. These skins aren't just about looks—they come with vibes and symbolism that take your gameplay to another level. Here's a rundown of the top 10 skins players should have on their radar.
AWP | Crakow!
Price: $38.5
Quality: Classified
Collection: Overpass 2024 Collection
The AWP has always been a fan favorite, but this one adds a playful twist. The skin features an artistic, childlike rendition of a girl and her robot in vivid graffiti. It's like holding onto a piece of innocent imagination, which makes it a paradoxically fun contrast to the deadly precision of the AWP itself.
M4A1-S | Vaporwave
Price: $75
Quality: Covert
Collection: Gallery Case
Imagine battling opponents with a rifle straight out of a '90s cyberpunk dreamscape. This skin is all about nostalgia, filled with glitchy imagery and abstract forms that remind you of the early internet. It's not just a gun; it's a pixelated piece of art wrapped in retro-futuristic coolness.
Glock-18 | Gold Toof
Price: $27.6
Quality: Covert
Collection: Gallery Case
A skin that makes you feel like a mischief-maker on the streets, the Glock-18 Gold Toof looks like a cartoonish face, complete with a glimmering golden tooth. This skin adds a cheeky touch to your standard terrorist sidearm, exuding confidence and a bit of bad-boy flair.
AK-47 | Crossfade
Price: $3.8
Quality: Mil-Spec
Collection: Graphic Design Collection
Ever had one of those moments in-game where time slows down as you line up the perfect shot? That's what Crossfade feels like—a freeze-frame of the exact moment between life and death. The graphics seem to capture the tension right before the action snaps back into motion.
Desert Eagle | Tilted
Price: $0.3
Quality: Industrial Grade
Collection: Overpass 2024 Collection
This skin is loud, messy, and filled with attitude. Covered in graffiti, it gives off the vibe of a street brawler—harsh and unrefined. It's the skin of choice for players who want to take the iconic Deagle and make it feel rebellious.
M4A1-S | Wash Me Plz
Price: $1.4
Quality: Classified
Collection: Overpass 2024 Collection
The scribbled "Wash me" graffiti suggests neglect, but don't let that fool you. This M4A1-S skin is a reminder that sometimes, even the most chaotic appearances hide incredible precision. It's a nod to all those players who thrive in controlled chaos.
Dual Berettas | Sweet Little Angels
Price: $8.1
Quality: Restricted
Collection: Gallery Case
Dual pistols are already a symbol of controlled madness, but add cherubic artwork to them, and you're wielding irony. These skins evoke the contrast between innocence and destruction—a heaven-sent gift with deadly consequences.
Five-SeveN | Heat Treated
Price: $6.4
Quality: Restricted
Collection: Overpass 2024 Collection
Forged in fire, each version of this skin is unique due to its heat-treated finish. It feels like you're holding a relic—something that has survived countless battles, making it seem ancient and resilient.
Desert Eagle | Starcade
Price: $33.4
Quality: Covert
Collection: Graphic Design Collection
This is the Deagle re-imagined as an arcade game. The metallic design is reminiscent of the flashy graphics of old-school games, giving you that nostalgic thrill every time you land a perfect headshot.
Galil AR | Rainbow Spoon
Price: $48
Quality: Mil-Spec
Collection: Graphic Design Collection
A rainbow-tinted skin that feels experimental and edgy, much like the Galil itself—underestimated but deadly in the right hands. Its heat-processed look gives it a hand-crafted, almost artistic feel.
