s1mple's CS:GO-era skins ranged from affordable picks like the USP-S | Cyrex at about $15 to rare items such as a Souvenir AWP | Dragon Lore, an AWP | Gungnir and a Karambit | Doppler Sapphire. Below is the set of weapons Oleksandr Kostyliev used while playing for NAVI in 2020, along with what those skins cost in CS2 today. Taking the versions listed here, the whole set is worth about $40,000 at current LIS-SKINS prices.
His inventory changed throughout his career, so this is a snapshot of one period. His current gear is covered in s1mple's skin loadout, and his settings are collected in our articles on s1mple's crosshair, his game settings and radar. Besides weapon skins, his inventory also held rare collectibles such as the silver ESL One Cologne 2014 Pick'Em trophy.
From Pistols to Rifles
The list goes from inexpensive pistols to the most expensive rifles, the gloves and the knife.
Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm
An unusual choice for a pro player, but the skin looks striking. It has no StatTrak version: the finish belongs to the Rising Sun Collection and never came from a case. The price has climbed a lot since then: in 2020 a Factory New copy cost up to $80, while today Factory New Desert Eagle | Sunset Storm sells for about $490 on LIS-SKINS.
The red and brown pistol carries Japanese-style artwork with a samurai on the grip. The skin exists in two versions (壱 and 弐) that differ in how the art is placed, and right now they cost about the same.
USP-S | Cyrex
The most affordable skin in the set, and a very clean one. The matte black and white combination appeals to fans of minimalism, while red accents on the suppressor rings, slide ribs and grip add contrast. The matte finish makes the pistol look heavier and more realistic.
There is a StatTrak version: USP-S | Cyrex costs about $15, and the regular Factory New copy is slightly more expensive at about $25.
Glock-18 | Fade
One of the most expensive Glock-18 skins in the game. There is no StatTrak version, and a Factory New Glock-18 | Fade costs about $1,350 (it was around $900 in 2020). Sellers ask noticeably more for patterns with a brighter fade.
The fade covers only the slide, while the lower part of the pistol, including the grip, magazine and trigger, is matte black. It is one of the oldest skins in the game, added with the Assault Collection in 2013, and it comes in Factory New and Minimal Wear only.
M4A4 | The Emperor
The artwork for this rifle is partly based on the tarot card of the same name, and the composition translates very well. A Factory New StatTrak M4A4 | The Emperor now costs about $340, the regular version about $240, and worn copies start at about $50.
The rifle is painted yellow and blue. The Emperor himself sits in the center of the body, looking in the direction the bullet flies. Geometric patterns, Roman motifs and a touch of Egyptian symbolism run along the weapon. The skin drops from the Prisma Case.
M4A1-S | Knight
Next to the other skins this one looks restrained: the rifle is black with gold elements that pick out its details. The handguard ribs are highlighted in yellow metallic, and a stylized emblem sits above the magazine.
This Cobblestone Collection skin comes in Factory New and Minimal Wear only, with no StatTrak version. A Factory New M4A1-S | Knight costs about $2,650, and the Souvenir version is, just as in 2020, slightly cheaper at about $2,500.
AK-47 | Case Hardened
Another skin with shifting colors: the metal looks as if it was heated hard and then cooled abruptly. The finish covers only the metal parts, while the stock, handguard and grip stay wooden.
The look of the steel parts depends heavily on the pattern, so two identical copies are rare, and some patterns cost many times more than ordinary ones. A Factory New StatTrak AK-47 | Case Hardened costs about $970, the regular Factory New about $430, and the most worn copies start at about $160.
AK-47 | Fire Serpent
A bold AK-47 skin from the Operation Bravo Case, and not everyone likes it: the serpent's head runs into the wooden handguard, which has been debated on forums for years. The art covers only the center of the body and the magazine, while the wooden parts and grip stay stock.
Its strength is the level of detail. The price is high too: a Factory New StatTrak AK-47 | Fire Serpent costs about $5,200, the regular Factory New about $2,300, and the most worn copies start at about $490.
AWP | Medusa
One of the most beautiful sniper rifle skins. A dark blue base and the face of Medusa the Gorgon, whose snake "locks" stretch along the entire body. The remaining parts stay unpainted.
It belongs to the Gods and Monsters Collection and has no StatTrak version. It is expensive: a Factory New AWP | Medusa costs about $4,750, and the cheapest worn copies start at about $1,750.
AWP | Gungnir
The newest skin in the set as of 2020: it arrived in November 2019 with the Norse Collection. The designer drew on Norse mythology, specifically Odin's spear, which the triangular pattern along the barrel hints at.
The skin is white and light blue with dark blue and silver inlays, and it looks as if it was cast from precious metal and then engraved. There is no StatTrak version. In 2020 it cost almost $5,000; today a Factory New AWP | Gungnir costs about $12,000, and even the most worn copies start at about $6,950.
AWP | Dragon Lore
A top player could hardly do without the most famous AWP. s1mple even had a Souvenir one: a Field-Tested AWP | Dragon Lore from the ELEAGUE Atlanta 2017 Souvenir Package. That version now costs about $7,050, a regular Factory New about $11,500, and a Souvenir Factory New about $12,000.
The Dragon Lore design needs no introduction: a detailed yellow skin with a fiery dragon winding from the stock to the middle of the body. The Cobblestone Collection stopped dropping long ago, so supply barely grows.
Moto Gloves | Polygon
Gloves leave little room for artwork, but Polygon manages a recognizable geometric pattern of squares and triangles. In game they look even better.
Like all gloves, they have Extraordinary rarity and drop from the Clutch and Revolution cases. Factory New Moto Gloves | Polygon costs about $570 (it was around $1,800 in 2020), and worn copies start at about $75.
Karambit | Doppler (Sapphire)
The last item on the list is the knife, and once again a finish with shifting colors. One of s1mple's favorite knives was a Factory New Karambit | Doppler. Sapphire is one of the rare Doppler gems, solid blue all over. Such a knife now costs about $4,850, and StatTrak versions rarely come up for sale.
The blade looks like a deep, restless sea: many shades of blue create vivid reflections in the light. Doppler drops from the Chroma, Chroma 2 and Chroma 3 cases and exists in Factory New and Minimal Wear only.
