Valve supports Counter-Strike 2 Beta regularly communicating with the community and releasing updates. Recently, the developers updated the toolset for creating skins, which some workshop creators have already taken advantage of to make cool skins created specifically for CS2. CS.MONEY Blog loves skins, so we highlighted the best ones from the Steam Workshop.
Remember that after transitioning to CS2, old skins will stay, so you don’t necessarily have to wait for the release to update your inventory. CS.MONEY Trade is an easy way to buy skins: follow the link and see for yourself!
Weapon Skin Concepts
As we know, in Counter-Strike 2 weapon models will be different from CS:GO. This means that new skins concepts will appear, and some skin creators have already published their first works. Current trends include cute hand-drawn girls and various shining textures. Don’t forget to go vote for the one you liked!
Desert Eagle Chrome Fade
Let’s start with skinmaking celebrities. We love the Fade series, and a shining Fade is even cooler. SHADOW and Hexeth have published a concept for Desert Eagle, which looks stunning and could be a big hit among skin enthusiasts.
AUG Divine Fragment
Stained glass is not new in Counter-Strike. For example, we already have MP9 Stained Glass. However, new possibilities open up with the new graphics engine. Jimmy decided to create a stained glass skin that incorporates all the colours of the rainbow. This new CS2 patterned skin is awesome!
AWP Porcelain
A beautiful skin inspired by Chinese porcelain and Delftware. Delftware was decorated with cobalt oxide, which turned the designs into bright blue after firing. This cultural phenomenon found its reflection in a whole lineup of skins, and some of them are already updated for CS 2.
MP9 Vivid Doubts
A vibrant and cute work by LEFTY, altdust, and gdreamer, inspired by Japanese aesthetics. The warm colour palette of this submachine gun contrasts perfectly with the blue hair and eyes of the concept’s main character. This new anime CS2 skin will definitely please anime fans.
AUG CS2_DASH
Milong and Foxshift seems to love working on depicting cute girls. Kawaii T and Kawaii CT creators decided to apply the girl from stickers onto AUG. A bright concept, but could it become a rival for Akihabara Accept?
AUG Idols (Red Version)
Another AUG concept featuring hand-drawn waifu. It’s obviously a reference to Persona 5, a very popular jRPG game. Just look at how serious these two are; ready to fight. An unusually striking design that will find its fans.
MP9 Cat Gun
A cute concept born from an unusual association. Khan and Puchara, the creators of this skin, claim to have been inspired by an old Source mod where replacing your pistol with a cat. We stand against animal abuse, yet this concept is bright and friendly.
SSG 08 Galactic Cascade
A beautiful cosmic-themed concept that will surely please many players. The bright starry sky is framed by the futuristic design of the rifle. Stavn will definitely want to have it if it appears in the game.
Mac-10 Made in Hawaii
A relatively simple but tasteful concept. Mac-10 side features plants and flowers that evoke the famous resort state of Hawaii, USA. Cute!
Galil AR Trophy Buck
The creators of this concept have published six different weapons with similar designs. We chose Galil, but it could have been any other weapon. Its body is made of copper, and the patterns add some kind of luxury to the skin. This is what trophy weapons could look like.
Skins For Zeus x27
Will there be Zeus x27 skins in CS2? Today we can safely say that Counter-Strike 2 will have skins for Zeus x27. Workshop creators have already begun imagining all kinds of taser skins. It’s fun to browse its Workshop’s first pages!
ZX Spectron
Shadow, the creator of FAMAS ZX Spectron, decided to expand the lineup and include Zeus x27 there. The original FAMAS skin design was inspired by the legendary ZX Spectrum computer, and the description pays homage to its creator, Sir Clive Sinclair. ZX Spectron is a popular FAMAS skin, and we would like to see this design in the game, especially since it looks stylish on the Zeus.
Trigger Discipline
Another Zeus x27 design already exists in the game. Moonfighter transferred his Desert Eagle Trigger Discipline pattern to the Taser. Zeus x27, of course, takes up less space in hand than the Desert Eagle, but the overall concept looks decent.
Healing Shock
Electric charges can stop or restart life, it depends on the circumstances. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Zeus x27 got a medical/ambulance-related design in the Workshop. Bastaz and Justie created an interesting concept, with a heartbeat line depicted on the side and the Taser itself painted in the colours of emergency medical services.
Fiery Nucleus
Pixelwork delights us with an infernal design for Zeus x27. It looks intriguing and unusual. The question is whether the developers will want to add something like this to the game because this Taser stands out from the rest of the Counter-Strike skins.
Stargaze
From hellish and hot to magical and cold. Niran prepared a concept related to space: instead of a realistic and cold colour palette, we got a fairy-tale soft one. Tasers are not toys for children, but this concept can be even more interesting in the actual game.
Danger
Surely, we can’t leave without cute drawn girls. Pet3D plays with contrast: the skin is called Danger, but the design controversially is positive and friendly. Just skip the fact that the waifu depicted holds a karambit in her hands. So don’t become too distracted.
All these concepts were published in the first days of the CS2 Workshop Tools update. We eagerly await further creativity from the community because skins are an important part of the Counter-Strike ecosystem. And if you want an easy way to style up your game, visit CS.MONEY Trade!
