The coolness of a skin is not always determined by its cost, as the best skins in CS GO clearly demonstrate. They often cost much less than advertised tops costing 500-800 dollars or more. But why is that? Because in this game, everything is determined by the rarity of the item and its value on the secondary market. This is not only a shooter, but a full-fledged economic platform, where today you knocked out a knife for 5 thousand rubles, and a couple of years later you sold it for 10, or even 20 times more expensive, because the cases in which it was located were taken out of the game.
But now we’re not talking about the financial side of the issue, but about the quite prosaic — aesthetic. Our rating does not claim mass objectivity, taking into account the opinions of the majority, etc. Tastes, as you know, are a very individual thing, but we also took into account certain patterns of popularity.
Affordable and cool
What parameters should the best skins in CS GO have? Let's outline a certain set of criteria:
⦁ Popularity of a particular trunk;
⦁ Skin cost;
⦁ Cool design;
⦁ Uniqueness of pattern or texture;
⦁ Presence of a counter (optional).
We will build on this in the future, although the StatTrak option is more of a nice bonus.
Glock-18 Royal Legion
The cheapest CS GO skin that looks simply amazing. It's strange that it didn't become top-end, but just look at the red and black combination, the engraving that highlights the smallest details, and the stylish design overall. With this in the global, it’s not a sin to run in the first rounds, when everyone’s armor is still frankly lame.
Glock-18 Alien
Another relative, but already executed in the technique of minimalism. You ask, which skin is better to buy in CS GO? And we, without hesitation, will answer that it is this one. Cool dark blue design, the presence of scuffs and scratches, which clearly say that this is a cool workhorse.
Desert Eagle Oxide Flame
A distant ancestor of the classic Flame, but in this case we have a black base and a white fire pattern on the barrel, which from a distance looks more like gunpowder fumes after shots. Stylish, minimalistic and cool silhouette.
MAS-10 Gradient
Everyone's favorite ultrasound is more reminiscent of a metal plate that was heat-hardened and then sharply cooled in oil to get that same gradient color with transitions from yellow to blue. It looks bomb, and also shoots quickly. Think about it.
MAS-10 Neon Racer
Well, this is already a classic bordering on cult. Crazy neon colors and halftones, a mysterious guy in a helmet, as if he had escaped from the Power Rangers franchise, and even the strap was given some attention, painting it blue. With this you will be a welcome guest in any random room. But there will also be enough people willing to run around with your machine gun.
MP9 Ruby Poison Dart
We don’t even know how to describe this madness of orange and purple weaves. It seems that the machine gun was dropped into a puddle, into which someone had previously poured the appropriate paint without mixing the layers together. The main advantage of the decal — price. It’s not for nothing that she made it to the top of the best CS GO skins.
P90 Asimov
And this is already a representative of one of the best sets in CS GO, according to the overwhelming majority of players of this shooter. Geometric black and white madness with orange elements is familiar even to those who have practically never played random games and are only superficially familiar with Global Offensive. And everything would be fine, but a full set will cost a pretty penny.
UMP-45 Primordial Saber
Do you like skins with skulls? There is a cool option for you! This weapon has an image of the skull of a saber-toothed tiger, "Every predator will eventually die."
AK-47 Asimov
It’s not the cheapest Kalash, but you must agree that in this color it looks the most advantageous. All the advantages of decals have already been described in P90, there is simply more room for creativity.
AK-47 Vulcan
Whatever you say, the old Soviet Kalash in white rules. It's funny that the name of the skin dictates a riotous red and yellow palette, but the result is a restrained white and blue palette on a black background and clear geometric outlines. Perhaps the naming is not the most successful, but the result — fire.
M4A1 Cyrex
There is a hint from Asimov in it, but here the emphasis is on black, and white and orange act as additions. You can call it the best inexpensive skin in CS GO for this type of weapon. Fans of the Speed Beast and the Ravager may not agree with us, but they also cost much more.
SG 553 Wild moth
We don’t know how wild this moth was, but she painted the rifle first-class. Here you can see the spots of a giraffe, the color of a leopard, and even rainbow gasoline stains. It depends on which side you twist this barrel from. There is plenty of flight for the imagination. BUT I definitely don’t want to be too outrageous.
SSG 08 Deep
But this guy fully lives up to the name. The darkest possible base on which they lazily “splash” dark blue waves from the depths of the ocean or some other body of water. This skin doesn’t care about wear or battle hardening. In the latter case, there will simply be more black, but this will not affect the overall concept.
AWP Medusa
Let’s say right away that this is an extremely expensive pleasure, which is included in the list of the most expensive CS GO skins. But just look how cool Medusa herself looks, and the snakes that wrap around the entire butt right up to the barrel. I wonder what inspired the artists to create this masterpiece?
AWP Elite Equipment
But this skin — the exact opposite of the previous one. Nothing extra, pretentious or daring. Rather, painstaking work on the factory decal, which significantly increased the polygonality and added the missing details. Well, the appropriate orange splashes on the barrel, leg and sniper scope are captivating. Cheap and cheerful in one word.
Why weren’t Legend of the Dragon, Speed Beast and other elite skins from the CS GO world in this top? The chance of getting them is extremely small, and many people are simply not ready to spend several tens of thousands of rubles on a skin. But if you want to stand out — you have some cool options.
