All of them differ from each other not only in design features but also in the price tag, which can be either $1 or $2,000. In this article from the author Volodymyr Huda, you will learn about the best beautiful skins that are available to players at an affordable price.

M4A4 | Griffin
The M4A4 is a kind of analog of the AK-47 for players who play on the counter-terrorist side. This is a very good weapon due to its damage as well as its rate of fire. It has easily controlled recoil, making it a good weapon for a beginner. For such a powerful weapon, it’s worth choosing a tough skin. And Griffin fills this role perfectly. The skin is mainly made in dark shades, and the main image is an eagle that swoops down on its prey. Its price starts at $1.39.
M4A1-S | Night Terror
Another weapon that is only available to counter-terrorists. The Night Terror skin for this weapon has an interesting and unique design, made in a horror style. In the middle of the dark color, there is a woman’s face, as well as bloody graffiti inscriptions. You can find it at prices starting from $0.40.
AK-47 | Elite Build
An excellent skin for AK-47, which is made in the spirit of minimalism. The predominant color here is dark with golden lettering. Looks cool, and definitely suits all fans of this weapon. Prices start at $0.60.
SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader
This skin is made for an excellent sniper rifle, which is a favorite of many players. The skin is made in a frosty style, where white with rare blue accents predominates. It fits the gun perfectly, but the main selling point is that it usually costs less than $3-5.
SG 553 | Aerial
This weapon, available only to terrorists, is a good analog for the AK-47. The weapon looks especially cool with the Aerial skin, which adds a personal touch to the weapon that will certainly add variety to your play with it. The skin is made in shades of gray and mustard, there is a black image of an eagle. The cost of the skin starts from $0.06.
P90 | Grim
The P90 is a good weapon to play in the early rounds. It’s inexpensive, which makes it a good buy when you’re short on money. P90 looks good with the Grim skin as it gives it a unique style. The skin is made in a pleasant green shade, with skulls on the main part of the weapon. The price of this skin starts from $0.05.
Desert Eagle | Directive
We couldn’t do without a skin for the most famous and powerful pistol in the game. It is quite difficult to play, but once you learn it, you will notice that you bring a lot of impact to the game. The Directive skin comes in black and only costs about $2-3 unless you’re hunting for the Factory New version with StatTrak support, which can cost upwards of $30.
UMP-45 | Exposure
This weapon with the Exposure skin has a unique X-ray design. It features a blue colored skeleton that extends throughout the weapon. It looks very interesting and exciting and also stands out for its cost of about $1-2.
P90 | Elite Build
Another skin for P90. It looks exactly the same as on the AK-47 while blending well with it. The dark color and gold lettering go well together, making it a highly recommended purchase, especially for under $1.
FAMAS | Survivor Z
This skin appeared in the game back in 2015 but has still not lost its relevance. It comes in shades of gray and red, with white scratches and claw marks on the body itself. The design looks cool and will suit all gamers well. This skin costs less than $1.
USP-S | Ticket to Hell
This is one of the most beautiful skins for USP-S. It is made in a minimalist style – a simple combination of white and black. The body is covered with stickers and inscriptions in English. You can find it for as low as $0.20.
P250 | Valence
The P250 is a great pistol to play with. It is inexpensive and can easily decide the fate of any round. There are also many good skins for it, one of which is “Valence”. In addition, it costs less than $1, which makes it one of the cheapest skins for CS 2.
Five-SeveN | Violent Daimyo
Five-Seven has always been and remains an excellent pistol that is suitable for most gaming situations. The main advantage is not only accuracy and good damage but also the appearance, which is perfectly transformed with this skin. It is made in purple color, which is decorated with drawings. On average it costs about $1 for good quality versions.
Tec-9 | Ice Cap
It’s a pretty basic style for a great pistol. It pairs well with and complements the Tec-9. The main part of the weapon in Ice Cap is painted dark, while the top part is a cool blue. This skin costs less than $0.50.
Final Thoughts
You can purchase all the skins mentioned in the article on the Steam market or on third-party trading platforms. There is also a chance to get one of the skins by opening cases, but the likelihood of getting exactly the skin you want is quite small. You can open the same case 400 times and still not get the coveted skin. We recommend visiting the Profilerr website if you want to learn more about settings in CS2 and also evaluate player inventory.
