You don't have to spend ridiculous money on CS2 skins. In fact, I reckon some of the best cosmetics are available under $10, so you'll be shooting in style without completely breaking the bank.

PP-Bizon | Photic Zone (From $1.20)
Spoiler alert for my list of the best PP-Bizon skins in the entire game, the Photic Zone PP-Bizon is a cheap skin with the exact vibe I like in a CS2 weapon. It looks like it could feasibly be a real-life weapon, but for the funky designs included on the barrel and turquoise camo details.
Hailing from the Wildfire Collection, it's one of the best ways to get a slick skin for a tiny amount of money.
Desert Eagle | Light Rail (From $3.54)
The Desert Eagle's Light Rail skin is a sleek design that combines modernity with elegance. Featuring a polished silver finish with intricate blue accents and a stylish light rail attachment, the Light Rale exudes a sense of sophistication and precision. It feels like it should be more expensive than it is.
It was introduced in 2019 through the Seeing the Light update, and you can get it Factory New for under a tenner.
AUG | Syd Mead (From $8.41)
Available in Factory New quality for just over $8, the Syd Mead AUG is such a treat to use. The red details and cyberpunk-style yellow patterns make this weapon stand out from the crowd, bringing a futuristic vibe to your CS2 loadout.
It was introduced in 2016 as part of the Double Exposure update.
AK-47 | Phantom Disruptor (From $9.99)
The AK-47 Phantom Disruptor is available Factory New for $9.99, making it scrape onto this list. What a treat that I can put it here, though. It's got dragon skulls on it, teeth, all that chaotic stuff, and I absolutely love the way the mouth morphs into the gun's barrel. You'll intimidate your foes, for sure.
It was introduced in 2020 as part of the Prisma 2 Case Skins update.
M4A1-S | Emphorosaur-S (From $2)
The Emphorosaur-S for the M4A1-S is a thing of beauty. I love the dinosaur's eye poking through the side, its claws scraping towards the magazine. The bright green and yellow colour scheme really makes the weapon pop, so hopefully you'll have your enemies cowering in fear whilst appreciating your bold stylistic choices.
It was releaased in 2023 as part of the Revolution Case Skins update.
