Many people love collecting different CSGO items to improve their gaming experience and trade in various markets. If you’re looking to get started with CSGO skins, there are a few things to consider.
The first is that you’ll have to choose which weapon skin you want. The decision depends on how much money you want to spend, but it should also be based on how pleasing the aesthetic of the weapon is and how rare it is.
Not all skins are created equal in terms of value; some can go for a few cents, but others are worth a fortune. This article lists some of the best weapon skins you can find in the CSGO market.
Karambit Case Hardened: Blue Gem
Blue gem Karambit skin is a rare case with a glowing appearance. The knife skin is the most expensive in CSGO and challenging to get. The Blue Gem has been sold for over $1.5 million, and it keeps increasing in value. Therefore, it is one of the few skins valued at over 1 million.
M4A4 Howl
As with all custom weapon skins, the M4A4 Howl is not available in the in-game offers. It was an exclusive item during the Valve’s Operation Bloodhound promotion, and the organizers only gave it to a few players. Individuals who completed specific challenges in-game were rewarded this skin, and then they sold it on the Steam Community Market for varying prices.
The most expensive M4A4 Howl sold for $100,000+ on the CSGO Lounge platform, which is more than what most players have earned in CSGO. If you want to have this skin, you need a budget of between $2000 and $100000.
Souvenir AWP Dragon Lore
The Souvenir AWP Dragon Lore is another costly item in CSGO. It was dropped during Dreamhack 2014 by a player named “GeT_RiGhT” during its 2014 DreamHack CSGO Championship event in Jönköping, Sweden. If you want to get this machine gun skin, be prepared to spend between $10,000 and $20,000.
AK-47 Case Hardened
The AK-47 Case was released in May 2015 to celebrate the fifth CSGO anniversary. It has a unique look and appearance because it features a brown wood grain finish with gold accents and engravings. Therefore, it stands out from other skins, and that is why it is very appealing to collectors. Its current value is over $30,000, and it is a rare item on most CSGO sites.
Butterfly Knife Damascus Steel
The butterfly knife looks like an old-fashioned knife with a blade that folds into its handle. When the butterfly knife’s price was set at $6,000, many people thought that this would be too much money to spend on a virtual weapon that doesn’t exist in real life. Currently, this weapon skin is in high demand since it is hard to get on top CSGO skin trading platforms.
Bayonet Case Hardened
If you want a Bayonet knife, you can obtain it by acquiring the P250 or Gut Knife cases. There is only a 0.59% chance of receiving it while opening an item from one of these cases. In most top CSGO sites, the skin costs over $2000. If you have this fantastic knife, its value will increase significantly over time because the demand for hardened blades is high, there are no new releases in the market.
Huntsman Knife Night
Valve released the Huntsman Knife Night back in 2014, and it has gained popularity in the industry. The skin comes with a price tag of $1750, making it one of the most expensive CSGO skins ever to be sold on online marketplaces.
The knife resembles its real-life counterpart, but players use the virtual one for defense. It was designed for players who like stealth gameplay and prefer to attack their enemies from dark corners. However, any player can use it regardless of their style since they don’t need to be sneaky while playing with this weapon.
Butterfly Knife: Sapphire
The butterfly knife is a melee weapon added to CSGO by Valve in 2016. It has been featured in all the previous versions of this game and was one of the first weapons added to it. The blue steel version of this knife is scarce, and most players cannot afford it.
Currently, this blade skin costs over $8,000, and the price tag keeps increasing. If you have some money to spare, then you can go ahead and buy yourself one and enjoy your gameplay.
Final thoughts
CSGO skins vary in price, but the rare ones are more expensive than the popular ones but you can still get some great ones without spending a too much money. In most cases, those with a high price tag offer more features, and they can improve your gaming experience. Besides, you can make a fortune if you buy a skin at the current price and sell it in the future at a good price.
