The best MAG-7 skins in CS2 cover every budget: from the Monster Call and Petroglyph at a dollar or two, to the Justice at roughly $5 to $15 and the collectible Cinquedea at about $500 to $630. Below are five skins with their design, collection and approximate price on LIS-SKINS.
The MAG-7 is a pump-action shotgun available only to Counter-Terrorists. It is valued for its fast reload and solid damage at close to medium range, which makes it good for holding tight chokepoints or closing in on an enemy under smoke cover. The game has more than three dozen MAG-7 skins, so there is plenty to choose from. More options for this weapon class are in our list of the best shotgun skins in CS2.
MAG-7 | Chainmail
MAG-7 | Chainmail will appeal to those who prefer skins with unusual textures. Most of the body is decorated with a pattern reminiscent of the surface of chain mail. Some elements are left black, the pattern is applied with silver metallic paint, and bronze overlays at the top complete the picture. This Norse Collection skin comes only in Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested and costs roughly $10 to $15.
MAG-7 | Cinquedea
The most expensive skin in this list is the MAG-7 | Cinquedea from the Canals Collection. What makes this design remarkable are the carefully crafted decorative elements in a vintage style. The body is decorated with white enamel plates with blue and red patterns, and the handle and lower part of the barrel are painted brown. In variants with high float, the pattern not only becomes scuffed, but also darkens, so copies in better wear are valued more. Even Battle-Scarred costs about $490 today, and Factory New about $630.
MAG-7 | Justice
You do not need to spend hundreds of dollars to get a bright MAG-7 skin, though. MAG-7 | Justice arrived in 2020 with the Prisma 2 Case and quickly became popular. The regular version costs roughly $5 to $15, and StatTrak Factory New about $40. Like the AK-47 | The Empress, its design draws on tarot imagery, in this case the Justice card. The figure of an angel with a sword and scales, symbolizing justice, is inscribed into the outline of the body. The design and surrounding ornaments are made in various shades of blue and green.
MAG-7 | Monster Call
If you like skins with images of fantastic creatures, pay attention to MAG-7 | Monster Call, which came out in 2020 in the Fracture Case. On a blue background, underwater monsters with predatory gaping mouths are depicted, as well as small fish swimming around. Even low-float copies are cheap: Factory New is about $3 and worn versions cost under a dollar, so you can enjoy the artwork in full. Similar budget picks for the other pump shotgun are in our guide to Nova skins.
MAG-7 | Petroglyph
Skin creators find inspiration for their designs in a variety of themes. For example, the artwork on the MAG-7 | Petroglyph is inspired by the motifs of prehistoric drawings preserved on the walls of caves. With just three colors, red and white on a black background, the artist created a recognizable pattern of geometric motifs and a stylized turtle. This Gamma 2 Case skin costs about $1 to $2, StatTrak included. If you prefer an auto shotgun, see the best XM1014 skins, and budget pistol options are in our list of Tec-9 skins.
