Yellow skins in CS2 exist for almost every slot and every budget: from the AUG | Stymphalian and P250 | Wingshot at a few dollars to the Karambit | Tiger Tooth at about $850 and the AWP | Dragon Lore at over $4,500. Below are 14 notable yellow and gold finishes covering pistols, rifles, an SMG, a knife and gloves. For each one you get the rarity, the case or collection, the available wears and an approximate LIS-SKINS price (all figures are starting prices for the cheapest wear unless stated otherwise).
Yellow is often overlooked in an inventory, yet it is one of the most visible colors: these skins stand out on any map and pair easily with black and gold finishes. The usual CS2 rules apply: price depends on rarity, StatTrak and wear, from Factory New down to Battle-Scarred. Our guide to skin wear and float explains the wear tiers in detail.
P250 | Wingshot
The P250 | Wingshot is a Restricted skin from the Shadow Case, released in September 2015. Restricted items drop from cases at 15.98%, so the skin is easy to find on the market. The finish pairs bright yellow stripes with an abstract black pattern and adds a skull on the grip. It comes in all five wears and in StatTrak. It costs about $1, Factory New roughly $7, which makes it the cheapest way to add a yellow accent to your inventory.
USP-S | Overgrowth
The USP-S | Overgrowth from the 2013 Operation Bravo Case is also Restricted. As the name suggests, it is a camouflage finish: yellow-green patches give the pistol a distinctly military look. It exists in every wear from Factory New to Battle-Scarred, with or without StatTrak. The regular version starts at about $15, Factory New about $75. A Factory New StatTrak copy is rare and costs around $320, so the gap between versions is unusually wide here.
Glock-18 | Bullet Queen
The Glock-18 | Bullet Queen is a Covert skin from the Prisma 2 Case (2020). Its yellow palette carries a good share of black, bullets and stars are scattered across the body, and white areas break up the design without softening it. The name fits the bold, warning-sign character of the finish. It comes in all wears, and StatTrak is optional. Prices start around $50, Factory New about $110; in the worn tiers the regular and StatTrak versions cost almost the same.
Desert Eagle | Blaze
The Desert Eagle | Blaze is one of the best-known early Deagle finishes. The grip and rear of the pistol are black, while yellow-orange flames with a hint of red rise toward the muzzle. This Dust Collection skin is only Restricted, but the rarity is misleading: it exists in Factory New and Minimal Wear only and has no StatTrak version at all. That keeps the price high: about $610 in Factory New, while Minimal Wear, which is scarcer, costs more at roughly $690. Where exactly the flames sit depends on the pattern index.
M4A1-S | Chantico's Fire
The M4A1-S | Chantico's Fire references Chantico, the Aztec goddess of fire. Its bright colors recall traditional Central American ornaments, and bold outlines give the artwork depth. It is a Covert skin from the Chroma 3 Case (2016), available in all wears and in StatTrak. Prices start around $110, Factory New about $240.
AK-47 | Fuel Injector
The AK-47 | Fuel Injector plays on the theme of a powerful engine. The main parts of the rifle are yellow, black outlines sharpen the shapes, and the magazine is left without bright paint and covered with gear illustrations. The result looks unified and dynamic. This Covert skin came out in the Operation Wildfire Case (2016) and exists in every wear, with or without StatTrak. It runs from about $85 in Battle-Scarred to roughly $340 in Factory New; a Factory New StatTrak is about $800.
Karambit | Tiger Tooth
The Karambit | Tiger Tooth is the most recognizable yellow knife in the game. The curved Karambit blade, designed for a reverse grip, carries an anodized gold-orange coat with an engraving that resembles tiger stripes, while the handle stays black. It drops from the Chroma, Chroma 2 and Chroma 3 cases and exists in Factory New and Minimal Wear only, so almost every copy looks clean. StatTrak versions exist too. It costs about $850, and both wears are priced almost the same.
Hand Wraps | CAUTION!
The Hand Wraps | CAUTION! look like warning tape: large black lettering on a yellow base. The idea clearly comes from boxing hand wraps, and the design tells opponents they are not facing a beginner. These Extraordinary gloves drop from the Operation Broken Fang, Snakebite and Recoil cases and come in all five wears. Wear drives the price hard: from about $90 in Battle-Scarred to roughly $510 in Factory New.
AUG | Stymphalian
The artists behind the AUG | Stymphalian drew on the Greek myth of the Stymphalian birds that ravaged an entire region. The ancient-style ornament covers the:
trigger guard;
magazine;
grip;
barrel.
The scope and receiver are left plain, which only makes the finish look cleaner. This Classified skin from the Clutch Case (2018) comes in every wear and in StatTrak. Prices start around $3, Factory New about $7, making it the cheapest yellow rifle on the list.
Two More Rifles: AWP and FAMAS
The AWP | Dragon Lore is rightly counted among the most famous and sought-after skins in Counter-Strike. Its gold-olive body is decorated with a fire-breathing dragon in a Celtic style. It is a Covert skin from the Cobblestone Collection that dropped only from tournament souvenir packages between 2014 and 2016, so it has no StatTrak version, and souvenir copies are valued separately. It runs from about $4,600 in Battle-Scarred to roughly $11,500 in Factory New. Our breakdown of why the Dragon Lore costs so much explains the price.
The FAMAS | Commemoration came out in the anniversary CS20 Case (2019) and is Covert. Its gold body with a world map design is easy to remember at first sight. For a Covert skin it is affordable: from about $30, Factory New about $55.
A Pistol, a Rifle and an SMG
The Five-SeveN | Monkey Business surprises with a banana shape that follows the outline of the gun. The light blue accents are subtle, but they make the picture far more expressive. This Classified skin from the Chroma 2 Case has no Factory New version; Minimal Wear is the best available. It starts around $10, Minimal Wear about $30.
The M4A1-S | Golden Coil is another Covert M4A1-S skin, this time from the Shadow Case. Black and gold pieces weave into a mosaic that resembles snakeskin. It comes in every wear: from about $45, Factory New about $240.
The stock of the P90 | Shapewood really does look carved from a single piece of wood, and its yellow-brown tones suit the rest of this list. This Classified SMG from the Revolver Case comes in every wear, with or without StatTrak. It starts around $8, Factory New about $20.
