Best weapon Skins CSGO 2022 Today, we've chosen 25 of the best weapon skins in CS:GO. You'll surely get other people's attention if you use them in your matches.
There are thousands of different CS:GO weapon skins on the market today. Some are dirt cheap that you can get for a couple of dollars, while other CS:GO skins are super expensive and can cost you an arm and a leg. Either way, they are all beautiful in their own right and appeal to different crowds.
Weapon skins can give your guns a drastically different look. They can range from using a different colorway, adding additional graphics or paint on the gun, and completely covering the gun with a unique skin. They don't give you any competitive advantage, but they do make the game more colorful and fun.
Best Weapon Skins CSGO
Before starting off the list, we just wanted to clarify that we didn't include any rare or super expensive skins since they are hard to get. We'll also be trying to include as many different gun types as we can, but we'll definitely be focusing more on the rifles since they are the most popular gun in the game.
We'll also include the prices for each CS:GO weapon skin. However, the CS:GO economy can rapidly change, and the global pricing can also be different. The prices may vary, so make sure to only use them as a guide.
Finally, remember that CS:GO weapon skins don't automatically give you aimbot. You'll still have to train your aim or get a better mouse suited for CS:GO if you want to improve at the game.

M4A4 Dragon King

Release Date: January 8, 2015
Collection: Chroma Collection
Let's start things off with an M4A4 skin. The M4A4 Dragon King skin features a fully blue painted body with an image of a red dragon. It has a beautiful combination of blue, red, white, and black colors helping the dragon stand out on the battlefield.

AK-47 Nightwish

Release Date: January 20, 2022
Collection: Dreams & Nightmares Collection
The AK-47 Nightwish skin is one of CS: GO's most colorful AK-47 skins. It's covered in various neon colors that stick out no matter where you are. Unfortunately, it's not the best skin to use when you're trying to camouflage yourself. It's a pretty stunning (and blinding) skin, though, and looks amazing both near and far.
It's one of the newer skins on the list, released just earlier this year. It's part of the Dreams & Nightmares Collection. A Factory New Nightwish skin currently costs around $150, while the StatTrak FN variant can cost upwards of $400.
We have our first AWP skin on the list for our next pick. The AWP Containment Breach has a simple theme, a radioactive one. The skin features many mutated rats trying to get out of a radioactive and probably deadly forest. It only uses neon green as its primary color but effectively gives life to the skin.
AWP Containment Breach was released as part of the Shattered Web Collection on November 18, 2019. AWPs are one of the strongest weapons in the game and are perfect to use in 1v1 maps. If you want to get a Factory New AWP Containment Breach skin, it'll cost you somewhere around $180. You'll have to shell out even more for the StatTrak variant, priced at around $400.
Dual Berettas Melondrama

Release Date: January 20, 2022
Collection: Dreams & Nightmares Collection
We have another skin from the Dreams & Nightmares Collection. This time it's for a pair of handguns. The Dual Berettas Melondrama skin features some creepy-looking watermelon faces that are twisted and scary. The skin truly is nightmare fuel. They still look frighteningly amazing, though.
It was released on January 20, 2022, along with a bunch of other scary and otherworldly skin designs for different guns. The Melondrama skin is one of the best Dual Berettas skins around, and it's actually quite affordable. The Factory New condition costs around $10, while the StatTrak costs around $27. Not bad for guns that can strike fear into your opponents, quite literally.
AK-47 Aquamarine Revenge

Release Date: May 26, 2015
Collection: Falchion Collection
Next up, we have a beautiful AK-47 skin called the Aquamarine Revenge. It features a green and black finish with a custom-painted image of a pod of red, yellow, and blue dolphins swimming through the sea. Overall, the design looks amazing and is far from the standard look of the AK-47.
The AK-47 Aquamarine Revenge is part of The Falchion Collection, released on May 26, 2015, and was an exclusive drop to pass holders in Operation Bloodhound. You can get the skin in Factory New condition for around $65.95. The StatTrak version is around three times the price, currently sold for $189.75 Factory New.
M4A1-S Player Two

Release Date: March 31, 2020
Collection: Prisma 2 Collection
Next up, we have the M4A1-S Player Two skin. This skin features bright colors and an animated version of the GIGN CT model saying some curse words. It also features Pop Dog and some graffiti. It has this complete anime/comic-book look that brings out a fun side of CS:GO.
The M4A1-S Player Two skin was released as part of the Prisma 2 Collection on March 31, 2020. It's relatively affordable and available for more or less $75 at Factory New Condition. The StatTrak variants are more than double the price at $180. It definitely has this cute appeal to it because of the anime/comic book theme.
USP-S Cortex

Release Date: February 15, 2018
Collection: Clutch Collection
Next up, we have another beautiful sidearm in the USP-S Cortex skin. It has a simple black and silver base with an image of a skull on the handle and its pink brains scattered all over the gun. It looks nice and super clean, especially the “USP” spelled out using the brains on the silencer.
The skin was released on February 15, 2018, as part of the Clutch Collection. It's very affordable, coming in at $6 for the Factory New version. However, it receives a more than 3x price bump for the StatTrak version listed at around $21.
Shadow Daggers Lore

Release Date: September 22, 2021
Collection: Dreams & Nightmares or Operation Riptide Cases
Knife skins have always been one of the most expensive things in CS:GO. This is because they usually have beautiful designs and have a very high resale value because they are widely coveted by players. Even Valorant knife skins are differently priced than the other gun skins. The Shadow Daggers Lore features a pair of shiny golden daggers with an intertwined chain-like pattern for its edge.
The Shadow Daggers Lore skin was released on September 22, 2021, and isn't a part of any skin collections. However, you can still get the skin from the Dreams & Nightmares or Operation Riptide cases. You can also buy a Factory New condition for around $230. The StatTrak variant is available for $275, which is a huge bargain considering the low mark-up in price.
We have our 3rd skin from the Dreams & Nightmares Collection, this time from the “dreams” part of the skin line. The MP9 Starlight Protector is a majestic-looking skin that features a unicorn with rainbow-colored hair. The gun then has a white finish with silver, grey and black accents, and some golden stars shining all over.
The MP9 Starlight Protector was released on January 21, 2022. The Dreams & Nightmares Collection produced a ton of amazing skins, but this will be the last skin we feature from that Collection. The MP9 Starlight Protector Factory New skin starts at $37, while the StatTrak variant is listed at around $100.
AK-47 The Empress

Release Date: September 14, 2017

We have yet another AK-47 skin. This time it's called “The Empress,” and it truly lives up to its name. It has an insane-looking design that was heavily inspired by the Empress tarot card.

The Empress AK-47 is part of The Spectrum 2 Collection that was released on September 14, 2017. Listings for a Factory New AK-47 The Empress skin are available for $95.63, and the StatTrak version starts at $293.78. It'll surely catch the attention of anyone that sees you holding it in-game.

Available for $96.89 in Factory New condition, and the StatTrak of an M4A4 The Emperor is available for $424.19.

AK-47 Leet Museo

Release Date: September 21, 2021
Collection: Operation Riptide Collection
The AK-47 Leet Museo skin has a hit-or-miss type of design. It can be beautiful and not at the same time, depending on the viewer.

It's definitely one of the more unique best CS:GO skins out there. It's a part of the Operation Riptide Collection and was released on September 21, 2021. The Factory New condition skin is listed at around $28, while the StatTrak variant should be available for around $90.
Falchion Knife Marble Fade

CS:GO knives have always been super expensive. Some knives can easily go for thousands of dollars. The Falchion Knife Marble Fade isn't one of them, but you're still getting an amazing-looking knife. It's one of the most colorful skins in the game and features metallic blue, red, and yellow colors all over.
The Falchion Knife Marble Fade can only be found in the Spectrum and Spectrum 2 cases. A Factory New condition knife can be bought for $234. However, the StatTrak Falchion Knife Marble Fade is available at a much better deal, only at $278.76.

The skin doesn't have any Factory New versions available, but that's fine because the wear actually adds more details to the skin. The P90 Trigon costs around $6.30 in Minimal Wear condition and around $12 for the StatTrak variant. It was released on February 20, 2014, as part of Operation Phoenix.
