In Counter-Strike 2, there are hundreds of skins. Some are expensive, some are cheap. Some are common, while others are super rare. Today, the CS.MONEY Blog has picked out seven skins for you that you’ve likely never seen in a match. We’ve chosen skins that are available in decent quantities and don’t cost thousands of dollars each. Let’s dive in and check out these rare gems!

AK-47 First Class
- Rarity: Restricted
- Collection: The Baggage
The AK-47 First Class looks very minimalistic. The only big change is the stock and handguard, which are covered in green leather. For an AK skin, the price is reasonable, but you’ll almost never see it in matches. The reason is simple — it comes from the Baggage Collection, which no longer drops, and not many people are hunting for it.
M4A1-S Fizzy POP
- Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade
- Collection: The 2021 Train
The M4A1-S Fizzy POP is one of the most common skins from the 2021 Train Collection. Its price is pretty low, around two dollars in Field-Tested condition. Still, it’s rarely seen in matches. Just like the AK skin above (and most of the skins on this list), the reason is obvious — CS2 already has brighter and newer skins for about the same price.
M4A4 Radiation Hazard
- Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade
- Collection: The Nuke
The M4A4 Radiation Hazard fits its name perfectly. The rifle’s side features a huge radiation hazard sign, and the body is covered with rusty orange spots. This skin is a mix of a high price and a pretty simple look. It can cost hundreds of dollars, which is why it’s often overshadowed by skins like Temukau, The Emperor, or Asiimov.
AWP Corticera
- Rarity: Classified
- Collection: The eSports 2014 Summer
Corticera is a small line of skins that includes the AWP and the P2000. Both are extremely rare to see in matches. The skin itself looks nice, but its age, limited case availability, and a price tag of dozens of dollars hurt its popularity among players.
USP-S Royal Blue
- Rarity: Industrial Grade
- Collection: The Cobblestone
Finally, here’s a rare skin that isn’t uncommon because of its price. The USP-S Royal Blue is part of the Cobblestone Collection. Since so many players use trade-ups to craft the AWP Dragon Lore, skins from this collection are constantly disappearing. Even a fairly simple skin like the USP-S Royal Blue is now on the verge of extinction. On our website, there are just over fifty listed — that’s how rare it’s become.
Glock-18 Red Tire
- Rarity: Industrial Grade
- Collection: The 2021 Vertigo
The Glock-18 Red Tire looks like a tire tread, with all the details and markings. It’s from the 2021 Vertigo Collection and is the lowest rarity skin in the set. It’s also for the default T-side pistol. But still, it’s rarely seen in-game. Looks like players just didn’t like its style.
CZ75-Auto Poison Dart
- Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade
- Collection: The Huntsman
The CZ75-Auto Poison Dart is another rare sight in matches. It was released with the Huntsman Case, but later removed due to copyright issues. That means only a limited number of these skins exist on the market, and new ones can’t drop anymore. This makes it a rare skin, even though the CZ75 isn’t the most popular pistol in CS2.
On the flip side, you’ll see plenty of cheap skins in almost every match. We’ve even put together a list of 10 affordable skins for a basic CS2 inventory. These skins cost a dollar or less! So don’t wait — grab that budget bling today. Head to CS.MONEY and stock up!
