The most expensive CS2 skin costs as much as a good car. Here are the most expensive skins on the market right now. Prices are live: the lowest listing for the regular version, no StatTrak or stickers, updated every few hours.
Top 10 most expensive CS2 skins right now
- AWP | Gungnir — from $6,266. A blue Norse-style AWP with lightning. Right now it's pricier than even the Dragon Lore.
- AWP | Dragon Lore — from $5,317. The most famous skin in CS history. It only dropped from souvenir packages of old Majors, so no new ones appear.
- M4A4 | Howl — from $4,379. The only Contraband skin in the game: it was pulled from cases in 2014 over an artwork copyright dispute.
- AK-47 | Wild Lotus — from $4,066. The most expensive AK-47, from a rare collection that no longer drops.
- M4A1-S | Knight — from $2,591. Factory New only, so there's no cheap worn version at all.
- Negev | Mjölnir — from $2,378. Yes, a machine gun nobody plays. Its price is pure rarity.
- MP9 | Wild Lily — from $2,092. Another cheap gun in an expensive collection.
- Butterfly Knife | Doppler — from $2,028. The priciest "regular" knife without rare phases.
- Butterfly Knife | Fade — from $1,901.
- Sport Gloves | Hedge Maze — from $1,855. The most expensive gloves right now.
Why they cost so much
- They're not made anymore. Dragon Lore, Howl, Gungnir and Wild Lotus came from collections that are closed. The supply only shrinks: players quit, collectors hold for years.
- Rarity beats looks. Negev | Mjölnir costs more than most knives, even though almost nobody plays the Negev.
- Status. A Dragon Lore or Howl is noticed instantly. It's like an expensive watch: people buy it to show it.
Most expensive knives and gloves
- Butterfly Knife | Doppler — from $2,028
- Butterfly Knife | Fade — from $1,901
- Karambit | Fade — from $1,556
- Sport Gloves | Hedge Maze — from $1,855
- Sport Gloves | Pandora's Box — from $1,746

How to get the same look for less
Almost every expensive knife has a "twin" with the same finish on a cheaper model. Navaja Knife | Fade costs $89.7, while a Karambit with the same pattern starts at $1,556. Full comparison in same finish, 20x cheaper.
On a normal budget, see a loadout for $110 and $330 or the cheapest knives.
