The Defensive side in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has four assault rifles available for purchase: FAMAS, M4A1-S, M4A4 and AUG. And for some outrageous reasons, the latter is often overlooked. AUG is not just a decent gun that is comfortable to play with on almost any level but also a gun capable of bragging with numerous impressive skins. CS.MONEY Blog has compiled the top 10 best skins for AUG in CS:GO so you can choose one and enjoy your matchmaking.
And don’t forget that all the best AUG skins 2024 are available by directly clicking on the links in the text! CS.MONEY Trade is an easy way to style up your inventory. Here, the prices are lower than Steam, and we have a friendly UI with neat filters.
AUG Plague
AUG Plague changed its polymer case to iron. This skin’s metal design has two layers: the lower one, acting as a background, is a little rusty; the upper one has a brilliant ornament with flowers and a deadly butterfly in the centre. A lovely and also cheap AUG skin.
CS.MONEY’s Choice: AUG Plague Minimal Wear ~$0,60
AUG Snake Pit
AUG’s front parts have almost no room for inscriptions and designs. Nevertheless, the creators of AUG Snake Pit managed to depict a whole bunch of angry snakes and amphibians on the skin. By the way, you can even see a lone toad if you spend a little time observing this weapon finish. Nice meme!
CS.MONEY’s Choice: AUG Snake Pit Factory New ~$0,20
AUG Carved Jade
AUG Carved Jade is an excellent addition to a nature-themed inventory. Its jade hues go great with most CS:GO stickers! Basically, it’s a huge green flag for those who like to wrap their skins with stickers. You can collect all the green inventory by visiting CS.MONEY Trade.
CS.MONEY’s Choice: AUG Carved Jade Minimal Wear ~$14
AUG Arctic Wolf
AUG Arctic Wolf is a simple and clean white-blue-black AUG skin. It’s inexpensive, looks great and combines powerfully with Battle Scarred stickers. Initially released in November 2019, it still looks fantastic and even might get better when CS:GO finally turns into CS2.
CS.MONEY’s Choice: AUG Arctic Wolf Field-Tested ~$2
AUG Flame Jörmungandr
In Norse mythology, Jormungandr is the world serpent. It’s Loki’s son, encircles the earth, and is Thor’s sworn enemy. Like its original source, the snake on AUG Flame Jörmungandr wraps around the rifle. Outstanding context, and an outstanding price tag.
CS.MONEY‘s Choice: AUG Flame Jörmungandr Minimal Wear ~$380
AUG Syd Mead
Sydney J. Mead is a famous artist behind most design ideas for such universes as Blade Runner, Aliens and Tron. AUG Syd Mead is dedicated to him, in case you didn’t know. Its attention-seeking style of techno-futurism could become a great addition to your inventory.
CS.MONEY‘s Choice: AUG Syd Mead Minimal Wear ~$5
AUG Triqua
AUG Triqua gives off retrofuturism. You know, like when in the past people created things from unknown space odysseys and all that: warning copper inserts, carbon fibre and metal, visible rivets and dark blue steel. Almost a true spacecraft. Also, we have to note the skin’s magazine and its volumetric effect—an incredible detail.
CS.MONEY‘s Choice: AUG Triqua Factory New ~$1
AUG Stymphalian
AUG Stymphalian resembles a Greek amphora. The design uses golden colours in contrast with black and white (or should we say pale beige?). The skin itself is richly covered with Ancient Greece-styled patterns and stories. Here, the main characters are birds with copper wings from Greek myths.
CS.MONEY‘s Choice: AUG Stymphalian Minimal Wear ~$5
AUG Fleet Flock
Bright and eye-catching trunks are pretty rare among AUG skins, with creators mostly sticking to black and metal colouring for the gun’s front parts. AUG Fleet Flock, though, looks impressive and pleasing. It’s made in pastel shades and decorated with images of birds soaring among the clouds. Here’s a fun fact: with high Float Value, Fleet Flock’s background fades, and we get black metal colour instead of a pastel blue base.
CS.MONEY‘s Choice: AUG Fleet Flock Field-Tested ~$3
AUG Akihabara Accept
One of the rarest and most expensive skins for AUG. Surely, people (and gamers mostly) love anime. That’s why creating an anime-styled skin was a terrific and genius idea. AUG Akihabara Accept is among the most-wanted skins in CS:GO, hence its unbearable price even for a Field-Tested.
CS.MONEY’s Choice: AUG Akihabara Accept Field-Tested ~$900.
Unfortunately, AUG often remains outside the professional meta, although in the last year, a couple of times, we’ve seen bleak glimpses of its previous glory. This is indeed a great weapon that allows you to win duels at long distances no worse than M4A1-S. Who knows, maybe in CS 2, the meta will shift a little in favour of weapons with scopes (to pierce smokes, for example), so AUG and SG553 will again become popular guns. In the meantime, you can’t fill your inventory with AUG skins alone. Click here to read about purple/violet beauties that could get better in CS2!
