The best red skins in CS2 come at every budget: the cheapest here, MAG-7 | Heat, costs about $1, Glock-18 | Water Elemental and FAMAS | Styx start at $10 to $20, AK-47 | Bloodsport and USP-S | Kill Confirmed start at $50 to $110, and the top of the list belongs to the M9 Bayonet | Crimson Web and M4A4 | Howl at thousands of dollars. Below are ten red skins with a look at the design and approximate LIS-SKINS prices.
Fade-style skins are left out: their color depends on the pattern, so one copy can be red and orange while another is almost blue. The skins are listed in alphabetical order. If you want a full red inventory for CS2, pair the guns with red gloves and red stickers.
AK-47 Bloodsport
Red skins can imitate an advertising campaign too. At first glance this AK looks sponsored, like modern Formula 1 cars. Logos, slogans, Chinese badges, numbers, emblems of teams and competition favorites are popping up everywhere.
The name fits: CS2 is an esports discipline after all. The catchy design of the rifle attracts increased attention, which is what was required of it. Right now the AK-47 | Bloodsport costs from $110 in Field-Tested to about $150 in Factory New (StatTrak around $240 to $350). There is no Battle-Scarred version, and when worn, the paint does not wear off, but only becomes covered with patina.
Desert Eagle Crimson Web
The Crimson Web finish is best known from knives and gloves, and on regular guns it does not always work this well.
But the pistol is much more interesting. The shape and silhouette of the weapon are ideal for applying blood red and even burgundy paint, over which black cobwebs are painted with a thin brush. And since the gun has several patterns, variations can be as bizarre as possible. A worn Desert Eagle | Crimson Web costs about $9 to $10, Minimal Wear around $30 and Factory New about $140.
FAMAS Styx
The FAMAS | Styx from the Cache Collection dropped only from souvenir packages, so souvenir copies are common and cheap: from $15. A regular worn copy costs about $9, and Factory New around $120.
The case is decorated with images of skulls with a radioactive danger sign on the forehead. We don't know why either, but it's beautiful. And most importantly — bright scarlet accents on the butt, handle, bolt and fastening elements, which perfectly dilute the picture, adding a peculiar charm to it.
Glock-18 Water Elemental
How many years have passed, but this Glock — still a crowd favorite. What is typical is that he either has fans or haters. It is unlikely that anyone will meet anyone who is indifferent to this skin.
It is praised for its blood-red base with an abundance of drops and streaks, as well as for its skillfully depicted water spirit, which has become the skin's mascot. But they don't like it more because red and blue don't go together at all. But this is all a matter of taste. The skin dropped from the Operation Breakout case. Today the Glock-18 | Water Elemental costs about $20 in every wear up to Minimal Wear and around $40 in Factory New.
M4A4 Howl
The most famous red skin in the game. The loud print of the M4A4 | Howl costs from $4,150 in Field-Tested and about $7,250 in Factory New, while StatTrak Factory New reaches roughly $15,500. It is not only the price but the rarity: the skin is Contraband and no longer drops anywhere.
This rifle was removed from the hunting case with a loud scandal back in 2014 under pressure from the author due to copyright infringement. No new copies appear, so supply only shrinks over time. The full story is in our guide on why the M4A4 | Howl is Contraband.
MAG-7 Heat
In contrast to the previous skin, the MAG-7 | Heat from the Chroma 2 case is the cheapest red skin in this list. Shotguns are not the most popular weapon class, but this MAG-7 looks unusual, especially from a distance. All joints and seams are decorated with red-orange strokes, which imitates a body that is hot from the inside due to continuous firing.
Even being battle-hardened, the weapon does not lose its attractiveness. A worn copy costs about $1 and Factory New around $6. If you like this kind of art, it is an inexpensive way to add red to your inventory. And it also comes with a MAC-10 in a similar design.
P2000 Obsidian
The P2000 | Obsidian came from the Shattered Web case and is inexpensive: from $2 for worn copies and about $20 for Factory New. At the same time, the pistol is unique in its design, especially its rear part, where all shades of red, burgundy, brown and black are intertwined. The author wanted to stylistically depict erupting lava flows and he did it perfectly.
Abstract patterns are one of the best options to decorate compact skins like this. Just don't spoil the author's idea with stickers, there's no use for them.
USP-S Kill Confirmed
If only every red pistol skin in CS2 got this level of design. The USP-S | Kill Confirmed from the Shadow case is not cheap: from $50 in Battle-Scarred, about $230 in Factory New and roughly $620 for StatTrak Factory New.
Many people have mixed feelings about the design of the skin. On the one hand, a skull with fangs with a hole in the head and a whistling bullet are a little intimidating. On the other hand, you can watch the performance of this masterpiece forever.
XM1014 Tranquility
Quite a controversial, but damn beautiful skin. A red-haired girl reclines on a red background, around whom pink flowers and petals are laid out. To match the main picture, all elements of the body also have red, burgundy or brown shades.
The XM1014 | Tranquility from the Operation Vanguard case costs from $8, Factory New about $20. It may not be the best weapon in the game. But the author's approach to the implementation of his idea and the integrity of the composition impressed even skeptics like us. And we have seen a lot in our time.
M9 Bayonet Crimson Web
The list closes with the famous bayonet. The M9 Bayonet | Crimson Web costs from $400 in worn conditions, about $750 in Minimal Wear and roughly $4,500 in Factory New. Factory New Crimson Web is rare because the finish has a minimum float of 0.06, and the web looks sharpest on the cleanest copies. Other finishes for this knife are covered in our picks of the best M9 Bayonet skins.
In essence, this is the classic Crimson Web on the M9, and the skin looks complete and does not repel you.
