With the release of the “The Armory” update in October 2024, CS2 once again delighted players with exciting new items, expanding the collection of cases with bright and stylish skins. Each new case gives the opportunity to get cool skins that can not only improve the gaming experience but also become real gems of the inventory.
In this article by the author Volodymyr Huda, we invite you to evaluate the best new skins in CS2. You can learn more about KSCERATO, rain, or hext cs2 settings and inventory on the Profilerr website.
MAC-10 | Saibā Oni
This wonderful MAC-10 skin is clearly influenced by Chinese culture. The designer managed to mix both the classic style, depicting a dragon, and geometrically clearly make hieroglyphic inscriptions in one sketch, which is more like a cyberpunk theme. The skin has a Restricted rarity, it is included in The Gallery Case.
Glock-18 | Gold Toof
There is an interesting addition to the list of skins that plays on the theme of the “animal gun”. Here the designer depicted a shark with a mouth and a visible gold tooth, after which the new skin is named.
Probably, this skin will find its fans, since the Glock-18 is the starting pistol on the attack side. Gold Toof has a Covert rarity and is included in The Gallery Case.
M4A1-S | Vaporwave
The skin is named after a popular microgenre of electronic music on the Internet. The main object of the drawing is an antique statue, the very end (outstretched arm) of which falls on a muffler.
The artist played with this moment in an interesting way, since without a muffler it seems as if there should be no arm on the skin. Vaporwave has a rarity of Covert, players can find it in The Gallery Case. The M4A1-S | Vaporwave ranges in price from $35 to over $360.
AK-47 | Crossfade
If you are tired of your once beloved “Fade”, then a similar, but still slightly different option for you will be “Crossfade”. The design has a similar idea with a shimmer of colors, which is not solid and does not fill the entire weapon. The skin has a Mil-Spec Grade rarity and belongs to The Graphic Design Collection.
AK-47 | The Outsiders
It is unknown whether the author put an additional reference to the champions of the IEM Rio 2022 major in the name of the skin. Even without this, the image looks quite original, since there are very few minimalist skins in the game that are made in the “cartoon” and old-school style.
All the attention is drawn to the posters with terrorists near the bomb site, presented as wanted bandits. The skin has a Classified rarity and is included in The Gallery Case. This skin is affordable for every player. Its price starts from 7 to more than 120 depending on the quality and support of the StatTrak counter.
AK-47 | B the Monster
This skin is likely to be the upcoming hit of the Steam Marketplace. The long-awaited work from the Workshop, which literally conveys the drawing of the wall of the bridge under the B-plant on the Overpass map. Accordingly, the skin is named after the name of this very position among players.
The skin has a rarity of Covert and belongs to The Overpass 2024 Collection. AK-47 | B the Monster is an expensive skin, starting at $96 and going up to $670 for the Factory New version.
AWP | Crakow!
This is a rather curious attempt to combine anime style and… the name of one of the largest Polish cities, where Gambit once became the champion of the major, in one drawing. The skin design is made in pink and purple tones and is complemented by an angry girl and a robot.
This bright skin has a Classified rarity and belongs to The Overpass 2024 Collection. The AWP | Crakow! skin ranges in price from $20 to over $140. However, this skin does not support the StatTrak counter.
Zeus x27 | Dragon Snore
The name of the skin is a direct reference to the famous “Dragon Lore” line due to the consonance. In addition, the image itself is also dedicated to the dragon, which does not look as brutal as in the legendary skin on the AWP.
“Smaller weapon – smaller dragon” – under this motto the author embodied a “cartoonish” and completely harmless dragon in the clouds. This is the second skin for Zeus x27 in the game. Dragon Snore has a Classified rarity and belongs to The Overpass 2024 Collection.
UMP-45 | Neo-Noir
The famous family of skins has been replenished with a variant for UMP-45, which has a special design and is very different from the versions for other weapons. The girl in the design of the skin for the UMP-45 looks as warlike as possible.
The presence of a dagger in the girl’s hand adds charm to the skin. It is this exclusivity that can add to the price of the skin. UMP-45 | Neo-Noir has a Classified rarity and belongs to The Gallery Case. By the way, UMP-45 | Neo-Noir is quite affordable – from $3 to over $43 depending on quality.
M4A1-S | Fade
In 2024, the first Fade skin for the M4A1-S was released. Now, rare pattern hunters have a new object of desire, and this status has added both popularity and rarity to the skin. The skin has a Covert rarity and is included in The Sport & Field Collection.
