Which Skins to Invest In 2024
When choosing what investments to make in CS2 skins in 2024, you should pay attention, first of all, to skins for popular weapons, such as AWP, AK-47, or M4A4. Because their designs are always in demand, their price often goes up and you don’t risk being left with an item that’s hard to sell. Another good option for novice investors is pistol skins. Most are inexpensive, but you can increase your profit by buying a lot at once and reselling when the price goes up. Thanks to this, you can start investing in skins without making large expenses. Let’s take a look at the brightest skins you can invest in.
Desert Eagle | Ocean Drive
When considering neon colors, one cannot help but mention Desert Eagle | Ocean Drive. This pistol skin comes in various shades of orange, blue, cyan, and bright purple. Dynamic geometric shapes and contrasting combinations give this weapon even more beauty. This is a great solution for active players who prefer hot places like Miami. The design of this skin is clearly reminiscent of this place. Having added this item to your collection, you should pay attention to other neon-style skins, for example, SSG 08 | Turbo Peek or MAC-10 | Neon Rider.
AK-47 | Wild Lotus
For those who would like their inventory of weapons with bright floral patterns, the AK-47 | Wild Lotus is a suitable option. Its design is based on a combination of green, bright red, and purple. The body is wrapped in vines that look like predatory tentacles, and carefully drawn flowers in its central part immediately attract attention. However, this skin has a significant drawback. Finding it on the market is quite difficult, and if it appears on the market, the cost will be very impressive.
MAC-10 | Disco Tech
The holographic effect looks good on skins with minimalistic designs, and MAC-10 | Disco Tech is an example of this. The flat side surfaces of the body are covered with a simple geometric pattern, but thanks to the holographic effect, its color changes depending on the angle at which the weapon is turned. At one moment the skin may appear purple-green, and at another, it may appear orange-pink. If you have a version of the skin in good condition in your inventory, the color changes will look especially impressive.
Glock-18 | Fade
To make a skin bright, it is not necessary to cover it with a complex pattern. Sometimes a well-placed gradient is enough. This idea is embodied by skins from the “Gradient” series, such as Glock-18 Fade. Depending on the pattern index, yellow, purple, and pink areas appear on the pistol’s slide, smoothly transitioning into each other. Options in which one of their colors predominates are valued much higher. By the way, this amazing skin is in the event inventory about the player Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut from Team Vitality. The cost of this skin is over $1000.
AUG | Midnight Lily
Another skin on the body of which the holographic effect is quite noticeable is AUG | Midnight Lily. The body of the weapon is painted gray and covered with an ornament of lilies, the location of which depends on the pattern index. However, in the game, it looks noticeably brighter than in many screenshots, since the color of the flowers can change depending on the lighting.
M4A4 | Dragon King
M4A4 | Dragon King is another skin worth checking out if you’re looking for vibrant designs and bold color combinations. The body of the weapon is decorated with an image of an orange dragon in an Asian style, and the background for it is blue and purple spots on a white background. It may seem that the drawing looks too chaotic, but this gives it a special energy.
AK-47 | Nightwish
AK-47 | Nightwish looks very bright – the body of the weapon is covered with psychedelic patterns on a black background. Among the chaos of blue, yellow, and red-violet lines, you can see the head of a predatory beast with glowing eyes, which occupies the central part of the machine gun’s body. As the author of the Nextgenz skin explains, the mother-of-pearl effect further emphasizes the surrealism of the design and creates the illusion of changing colors.
AWP | Wildfire
There are many skins decorated with the image of flames in CS2, but AWP | Wildfire can definitely be called the most expressive of them. There are only two main colors in its design – black and bright orange, but VLEK, who developed this skin, uses this combination effectively. A fiery dragon writhes on the body of the rifle, which looks especially bright against a dark background.
MP9 | Stained Glass
This is one of the first skins to receive a holographic effect. Its surface is painted in various shades of blue and blue and resembles a mosaic made from pieces of glass. The stock and magazine are left metal, and several dark red fragments complete the picture. The glitter effect is especially suitable for “glass” surfaces.
M4A1-S | Printstream
All skins in the Printstream series have an iridescent holographic effect, and this is another reason for their popularity. For example, the M4A1-S | Printstream has most of the body painted white, but in the game, it changes colors slightly when the lighting changes. Moreover, this is not the only advantage of the skin: its author is known for his attention to small details and careful finishing of textures, and this work is no exception.
