New Year skins for CS2 are bright finishes in festive colors: Five-SeveN | Orange Peel, Galil AR | Rocket Pop, Dual Berettas | Twin Turbo, Glock-18 | Candy Apple and Nova | Bloomstick. Almost all of them are cheap: most cost between a dollar and $15, and only the best copies of the Nova Bloomstick reach about $80 (rounded LIS-SKINS prices). The list shows that holiday skins are more than frost patterns and snow camo; for those, see our pick of winter skins for CS2.
Five-SeveN Orange Peel
Tangerines are a traditional New Year treat, and one skin echoes their bright color: the Five-SeveN Orange Peel, an Industrial Grade skin that costs under a dollar, or about $3 in Factory New. Some may think that the shade of orange here is not expressive enough, but if you are lucky with the pattern index, there will be more bright stripes on the body of the pistol. Another skin for fans of orange is the SSG 08 Threat Detected, at about $15.
Galil AR Rocket Pop
But Galil AR Rocket Pop can be a good reminder of New Year's treats. The festive name and bright colors will definitely lift your spirits. Although the Galil AR is not the most popular weapon, this skin, painted in a geometric pattern of white, red and blue stripes and spots, will decorate your collection. Price: from under a dollar to about $8 in Factory New.
Dual Berettas Twin Turbo
The combination of red and green can be seen on many holiday attributes, from Christmas tree decorations and garlands to Christmas sweaters. The red and green design of the Dual Berettas Twin Turbo is inspired by racing cars, but these paired Berettas are also perfect for a New Year's theme, especially if you decorate them with stickers in the same colors. Price: from $2, Factory New about $15.
Glock-18 Candy Apple
Another skin that recalls holiday sweets is the Glock-18 Candy Apple. Thanks to their minimalistic yet expressive coloring and low price, these skins are always popular. Moreover, besides the Glock, this finish exists for five more weapons, so there is a suitable option for any play style. It comes only in Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested and costs about $1 to $2.
Nova Bloomstick
A good addition to the New Year’s collection would be a skin reminiscent of New Year’s decorations and colorful garlands. Floral designs work well here, such as the Nova Bloomstick. The shotgun body is covered with scarlet paint, against which black branches with flower petals are depicted. And if the holidays put you in a lyrical mood, and you prefer to take your mind off the New Year's troubles while playing, choose the XM1014 Tranquility, which uses similar coloring motifs. The Nova Bloomstick costs from $9 (about $80 in Factory New), the XM1014 Tranquility from $8 (about $20 in Factory New).
