AK-47 Nouveau Rouge
Price: $18–$300
Let’s start with the rarest skin from the Radiant Collection. The chance of getting the AK-47 Nouveau Rouge is pretty small, and the chance to drop it in Factory New is even lower. But that’s true for many skins in this article, because (spoiler) here we’ve got the rarest skins from five different collections at once.
M4A1-S Stratosphere
Price: $12–$225
Probably the most artistic skin on our list. Space always catches the eye, and M4A1-S Stratosphere shows our blue planet and bright outer space. It’s hard to imagine this design on any other weapon: flying planes look best exactly on the M4A1-S.
AWP Green Energy
Price: $17–$204
Since weapon popularity affects skin prices, it’s no surprise that there’s also a cool green AWP skin in the top. AWP Green Energy is one of the few green skins for this sniper rifle, which is why it’s quite popular.
M4A1-S Control Panel
Price: $4–$160
If M4A1-S Stratosphere is the best “space” skin, then M4A1-S Control Panel is a real contender for the title of best “tech” skin. Some players see cyberpunk vibes here, others think it looks like sci-fi, and someone might even call it retrofuturistic. Either way, the skin is pretty popular, though the big extra price only comes with Factory New condition.
SG 553 Integrale
Price: $3–$80
For a long time, SG 553 Integrale was the most expensive skin from weekly drops. Things changed when Valve replaced several collections. As a result, newer and flashier skins climbed to the top. As for Integrale, it’s already a classic skin inspired by rally.
AK-47 Midnight Laminate
Price: $7–$55
For a while, there were no new laminated AK-47 skins in CS, and the Ascent Collection finally fixed that. AK-47 Midnight Laminate quickly became popular, and players started making cool crafts with it, like Midnight Scorch. Since the skin is based on a single main color, you can combine stickers in many different ways. It’s all about your imagination.
Desert Eagle Mulberry
Price: $7–$48
Desert Eagle Mulberry closes our list of the most expensive weekly drop skins. It’s a pistol skin, but the Deagle is a very popular weapon. The skin is single-colored, but just like Midnight Laminate, it can work great as a base for awesome crafts. The only real difference is the shade: Mulberry is lighter.
