The 5 Worst Weapon Skins in CS2

Top Five Worst Weapon Skins in Counter-Strike 2

While the treasure hunt for the most beautiful CS2 skin is never-ending, with some of the CS:GO StatTraks receiving a huge price boost after the release of the new title, the Counter-Strike community often fails to appreciate the skins we all want to drag to the bottom of our collection. Let’s be honest, there are some CS2 skins that are better off sold at a single cent instead of taking up space in a beautiful collection. With thousands of options available, we've compiled the worst of the worst.

We're only considering skins in prime condition here. It's easy to point out that a beat-up Gator Mesh M249 is painful to look at, but that's likely intentional by Valve, since they will ultimately want you to get Factory New skins. So, without further ado, let's reveal the five worst weapon skins in CS2.

Red Tire Glock-18

Part of the 2021 Vertigo Collection, the Red Tire fails to impress, to say the least. Supposedly inspired by motorsport, it's a mess of textures with barely visible tread patterns and random snowflakes. Its only saving grace is its potential as a trade-up for a Green Laminate AK-47, but even then, it's only worth $5. Grab a clean souvenir version for $1.60 and scrape off the stickers if you really want to downgrade your T pistol rounds.

Nightwish AK-47 The Nightwish was not a consensual pick for one of the ugliest CS2 skins, but let's break it down. Close your eyes and try to picture it. Can you recall its colors or design? Probably not. Every CS2 skin has a distinctive trait, except this one. It's just a confusing mix of rave colors that, luckily, is easy to forget. Despite its lack of appeal, it still fetches $85 for Factory New, serving as a memorable anti-memory device.

Commemoration FAMAS

In the CS20 Case, the FAMAS' Commemoration skin stands out for all the wrong reasons. Trying to pay tribute to CS2 with funky gun skins, it goes too far, with an awkward map list on the stock and a crowded group photo. It's like a desperate attempt at a nostalgia trip that will guarantee it stays on the floor whenever a teammate drops it.

Freehand Shadow Daggers

No list of CS2 skins is complete without a knife, and the Shadow Daggers’ Freehand skin fits the bill perfectly. While the intricate graffiti pattern might work on larger knives, it's a mess on the daggers. It seems like Valve simply scaled it down without testing, resulting in a pair of knives that look both cheap and chaotic. Due to their flaws, they're among the cheapest knives in the game at $140 for a pair in top condition, where Factory New looks Battle-scarred.

Copperhead AUG The Copperhead from the Dust Collection takes the crown for the ugliest CS2 skin. It's bland, with a hydrographic design that blends into maps, and it's associated with the unpopular Dust Collection. Even in prime condition, it's not appealing, and its low float cap means it can never look good. You'd have to trade it up into something better, like a Blaze Desert Eagle, and even then, it'll set you back $114.
