One of the community's biggest desires is to have your inventory customized in CS2, with skins for your favorite weapons. Unfortunately, many of them require a much higher than average investment, and that's why we at UmGamer have selected several affordable looks to be part of your collection, check them out!

The following prices in dollars were announced on the Steam marketplace during the month of July 2024. It’s possible to come across lower prices on skin-selling websites, but always be careful to look for reliable sites! We at UmGamer do not recommend or are responsible for any sales platform.

Pistols

Starting with the terrorist pistol, the Glock-18 has several good options.

Glock-18 | Moonrise

Image content of the Website

A beautiful Glock with its Factory New version for just US$ 1.52. Being the best option for an entirely purple inventory, or for fans of skins that stand out more!

Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel

Unlike the last one, this one doesn't have strong colors, but its white details (highlighting the phrase “Kill Them All”) draws attention.

Prioritize getting a model that is not so worn out, such as the Minimal Wear one for US$3.88 or Factory New for US$6.08, as it is a skin where wear and tear influences a lot, making the phrase a little illegible.

Glock-18 | Clear Polymer

An option not as attractive to me as the previous ones, but even cheaper! The Clear Polymer has a painting that depicts the Glock bullet magazine, and a Factory New costs exactly 1 dollar.

Now, we’ll take a look at the CTs’ pistols (USP-S e P2000).

USP-S | Ticket to Hell

Image content of the Website

A classic skin that I always see in my matches, a Factory New one costs just US$1.57. I recommend prioritizing the least worn ones, to preserve the white details on the weapon.

USP-S | Black Lotus

Image content of the Website

With more focus on purple, and with a charming rose, a Minimal Wear Black Lotus costs just US$2.87 and will personalize your USP very well. It will even match with another weapon, which we’ll see later in this article.

P2000 | Handgun

Image content of the Website

A blue P2000 which can be purchased for less than 1 dollar in its most worn versions. But if you want a Factory New one, it costs US$3.87.

Moving on to the favorite pistol of many, I recommend two Desert Eagle options:

Desert Eagle | Light Rail

Image content of the Website

A metallic skin which benefited a lot from the new lighting in CS2, with beautiful reflections! Its Factory New model price starts at US$4.45.

Desert Eagle | Trigger Discipline

Image content of the Website

Another good Desert Eagle is the Trigger Discipline. A little more colorful, with its tip detailed with pink and a little white, this skin can be found for US$3.42 in its Factory New version.

Another favorite pistol among the community is the Five-Seven, I also brought two options for it:

Five-Seven | Copper Galaxy

The Copper Galaxy is very similar to the Desert Eagle Light Rail shown here, as it is also made of black and bronze, as well as being metallic. A Factory New model is found for around US$7.83.

Five-Seven | Flame Test

The cheapest skin on this list is Flame Test, with a beautiful purple top, its Factory New version is sold for just US$0.20.

CZ75-Auto | Tacticat

Finishing off the pistol class, the CZ Tacticat offers a more colorful skin, being very attractive for fans of this style. A Factory New one costs just US$1.51.

Submachine guns

We only have cheap sub models today, one for TR (MAC-10) and one for CT (MP9).

MAC-10 | Disco Tech

Another skin with a more colorful proposal, including changing color when clicking to show the weapon. Its Minimal Wear version can be found for US$5.69.

MP9 | Hydra

To diversify our list a little, the MP9 Hydra brings a greener hue to our inventory. The Field Tested version is sold for US$6.27.

Rifles

The most popular class in CS2! Let's start with the beloved AK-47, I brought two models with two different proposals!

AK-47 | Slate

Image content of the Website

This AK is ideal for those who want to customize their skin with stickers, or for those who just want a more basic and minimalist model.

I recommend the Minimal Wear one costing around US$4.91, but if you prefer to save a little you can get the Battle Scarred for US$2.46.

AK-47 | Ice Coaled

Image content of the Website

A very popular look among players, its blue details are really charming, and its Field Tested version is very affordable at just US$6.29.

See now some options for the M4.

M4A4 | Tooth Fairy

If you enjoy visuals with designs on the weapon, the Tooth Fairy will certainly be the best affordable M4A4 option, with its Minimal Wear model costing US$4.97.

M4A1-S | Night Terror

Image content of the Website

A skin with red details which really draw attention, I recommend the Battle Scarred for US$ 1.54, as the more worn this skin is, the more purple it becomes.

As per the community’s consensus, the purple in the dye makes it more interesting, but feel free to analyze the other versions!

M4A1-S | Black Lotus

Image content of the Website

Certainly the skin that stands out the most on our list, with an above-average price, a Field Tested M4A1-S Black Lotus costs US$11.51.

But it's impossible not to include it, it's a skin that's widely used and very much loved by players. In addition to matching with the USP Black Lotus already mentioned in the article.

FAMAS | Valence

This FAMAS has a black and red color that delights the eyes, and a Minimal Wear one costs only US$ 3.47.

Snipers

I selected two AWP models to conclude the list!

AWP | Atheris

Another skin impossible to ignore is Atheris, famous for its details and the large green viper. I recommend the Field Tested model for US$ 3.25.

AWP | Black Nile

Image content of the Website

This AWP has a stunning design, and its Battle Scarred version makes it even more interesting adding a tanned tone, and costs just US$2.08.
