Best MP5 Skins in CS2

After Valve adjusted the balance of SMGs two months ago, one of the biggest winners of that patch was the MP5-SD. This weapon got a small damage buff and also became cheaper in-game. Today, the CS.MONEY Blog will talk about the best MP5 skins in CS2.

The Dead Hand collection is already in the game, and if you want to upgrade your inventory, head over to CS.MONEY! Trade in your old skins for a great deal!

How many MP5-SD skins are there in CS2?

Right now, there are 24 different MP5-SD skins in the game. Compared to the meta weapons, that is not a lot. To be fair, this SMG did not appear in CS:GO right away. Still, there is not a single Covert skin for it in CS2, which kind of shows it is not the most popular gun around.

Best MP5 skins in CS2

MP5-SD Phosphor

• Quality: Classified
• Collection: Danger Zone

Buy MP5-SD Phosphor Minimal Wear for $6.5

Let’s start with a very bright skin. MP5 Phosphor is a dark blue skin with glowing paint splashed over the top. Even though the paint is uneven and more like a gradient, the skin sadly has no pattern differences. On the bright side, it wears well, and the wear is barely noticeable up to a 0.4 float. Add to that the fact that this skin is part of the Danger Zone collection, which has some nice knives and cool Covert skins.

MP5-SD Agent

• Quality: Restricted
• Collection: CS20

Buy MP5-SD Agent Minimal Wear for $2

This is a skin that fits Special Agent Ava perfectly. Blue and yellow almost always work well together, and the MP5 Agent skin mixes simplicity with style. Playing with it just feels good.

MP5-SD Neon Squeezer

• Quality: Industrial Grade
• Collection: Overpass 2024

Buy MP5-SD Neon Squeezer Field-Tested for $0.1

Neon Squeezer is interesting for two reasons. First, it can look very different, because a lot depends on the pattern. You can get either a pink-orange side or a side with the maximum amount of blue paint. Second, this skin cannot drop in Factory New or Minimal Wear, so for such a cheap skin, Field-Tested is totally fine. Just do not forget to check the look of each exact skin before buying.

MP5-SD Focus

• Quality: Mil-Spec Grade
• Collection: Genesis

Buy MP5-SD Focus Factory New for $1.2

A fresh skin that only recently appeared in the game. This is a clean, futuristic SMG. Its main feature is the Stay Focused text, which changes shape depending on the viewing angle. Some people may say it looks like something from Valorant, but we are sure plenty of fans like that style too.

MP5-SD Gauss

• Quality: Restricted
• Collection: Prisma

Buy MP5-SD Gauss Minimal Wear for $1.2

The concept of this skin, just like its name, is a nod to the Gauss rifle. The idea is that it accelerates objects using electromagnetic fields. We also have to point out that at high wear levels, the gun gets rusty, which gives it a completely different vibe. So, some people might actually want to hunt down the highest floats possible.

MP5-SD Oxide Oasis

• Quality: Classified
• Collection: 2021 Mirage

Buy Souvenir MP5-SD Oxide Oasis Field-Tested for $15

This bright, toxic orange skin with splashes of turquoise is the most expensive skin in its normal version. That is all because of the super limited weekly drop period when the skin was available. It is way easier to get it as a Souvenir, where it drops from Mirage containers until Valve decides to swap the collection (sorry, haters, we do not believe Mirage is leaving the competitive map pool in near future).

MP5-SD Kitbash

• Quality: Restricted
• Collection: Fracture

Buy MP5-SD Kitbash Minimal Wear for $0.8

Kitbash looks like a skin that could easily fit into the CS20 collection, and it has a ton of tiny, cool details to check out. For example, there is a flame drawn at the end of the silencer, covered up with duct tape. There is actually a lot of tape on this skin, and that is what really sets its whole vibe. Plus, just like the Gauss, the Kitbash gets rusty as the float goes up, so if you want a brown skin instead of a blue one, you should look for floats close to 0.8.

Tier list: the best MP5 skins in CS2

Because this weapon is not very popular, it does not have many skins, and most of them are very cheap. Still, we picked the best options in each price range and also pointed out the best choices for trade-up contracts:
