Best Classified Skins in CS2 for Each Weapon Type

What’s better than getting a brilliant victory over your opponent? Only doing it with style. A beautiful weapon skin not only emphasizes your personality but also gives you a chance to flex on the battlefield. CS2 offers you more than enough opportunities to do both, given the variety of skins available on the market.

There are several grades of skin rarity: Consumer, Industrial, Mil-spec, Restricted, Classified, and Covert. In each of the categories, there are both cheap and insanely expensive items, but generally, Classified skins offer the best balance between rarity and price. So, let's take a look at the best Classified skins in CS2 for key weapon types.

Keep in mind that the prices in the article are as of the time of writing, i.e., August 2024. They may change over time, both upward and downward.

Kumicho Dragon | Desert Eagle

With a gun like that, everyone in the Yakuza will respect you. The oriental motifs and dragon designs make you look like a fierce fighter from some samurai flick who is no stranger to honor and firmly treads his own path. Furthermore, the duel on Deagles looks surprisingly similar to a samurai one. One move — one dead body; the one who’s faster is the one who lives.

Price: $11.92 (BS) — $27.11 (FN)

ST: $21.96 (BS) — $66.25 (FN)

Caiman | USP-S

The favorite hunting method of caimans and crocodiles in general is to lurk in the murky water and wait until the prey comes close enough. This is a great metaphor for the style of play with the quiet and deadly USP-S. It is the best CS2 Classified skin for those who prefer a stealthy playstyle.

Price: $38.26 (WW) — $48.38 (FN)

ST: $64.97 (WW) — $89.40 (FN)

Decimator | Tec-9

Players love neon. Designers are well aware of this and, therefore, strive to meet the demand as best they can, especially when it comes to the best CS2 Classified grade skins. This weapon is a good example of how to make something beautiful with a minimal number of details. Blue lines merge into geometric patterns and look great on a purple background.

Price: $7.44 (BS) — $37.15 (FN)

ST: $17.59 (BS) — $100.00 (FN)

Visions | P250

This is one of the best CS2 Classified skins for the P250, and an outstanding piece in its own right. It features psychedelic lines, snakes, birds, and even has a beautiful girl on the handle looking languidly into the distance. The skin was released relatively recently, on July 1st, 2022, as part of the "Recoil Case Skins" update. So far, it can be bought at a reasonable price, so don't lose your chance.

Price: $1.66 (BS) — $7.90 (FN)

ST: $3.41 (BS) — $15.95 (FN)

Llama Cannon | R8 Revolver

What can be better than claiming the best Classified skin for a truly powerful gun? The elegant ivory hilt is complemented by painted curls all over the weapon, with a small image of a llama in the center of the skin. Perhaps this is a hint of the skin's Latin American vibe. At least in terms of appearance, it does resemble something you would expect to see in the hands of a Colombian cartel leader.

Price: $1.58 (BS) — $8.94 (FN)

ST: $4.00 (BS) — $29.54 (FN)

Panthera onca | AK-47

The jungle always dictates its laws, and the concrete ones are no exception. This is one of the CS2 best Classified skins for AK-47 available at a surprisingly reasonable price. The weapon is dotted with tribal ornaments inspired by the ancient Mayan art. At the center of the composition is a jaguar, the most dangerous big cat in the world, which can serve as a perfect reflection of the skin owner's temperament.

Price: $117.00 (BS) — $248.00 (FN)

ST: $87.00 (BS) — $438.99 (FN)

Poseidon | M4A4

Best-looking skins in CS2 of this type hurt both your opponent and your bank account. This is the most expensive Classified skin for the M4A4, but isn't it worth it? Poseidon's color scheme blends perfectly with the blues of the CT-side equipment. The picture shows the god of the seas fighting sinister moray eels. The highlight of this skin is the harpoon on the barrel added for that bit of extra flare.

Price: $911.26 (FT) — $1,098.49 (FN)

Control Panel | M4A1-S

The design of the Control Panel would be suitable for terrorists as a remote control to detonate a bomb. As it stands, however, the M4A1-S still often becomes a control panel of the battlefield. You don't need all those fancy buttons to leave the opposing team no chance of victory. Still, it's quite a nice skin, especially if you're into the retro-futurism.

Price: $3.01 (BS) — $36.51 (FN)

Souvenir: $39.35 (BS) — $782.63 (FN)

Redline | AWP

The best skins don't necessarily have to include a colorful picture, as some people prefer a more classic and simple style. That is exactly what this AWP skin offers: beautiful ribbed texture on the black body and sleek red lines along the entire weapon. With this rifle, everyone will recognize you as a ruthless assassin and no one will know that deep inside you are an anime fan. A beautiful and relatively inexpensive skin for the best weapon in the game.

Price: $36.96 (WW) — $57.98 (MW)

ST: $116.89 (WW) — $106.57 (MW)

Syd Mead | AUG

You may have never heard of Syd Mead, but you've definitely seen his work. This artist has designed Cadillacs and Fords. He has worked on the visuals for Aliens, Tron, and Blade Runner. He is a true design icon, and his vision of the future has served as inspiration for many works of art, like, for example, this skin. A worthy entry in the list of the best Classified skins in CS2.

Price: $1.10 (BS) — $5.77 (FN)

ST: $2.22 (BS) — $13.00 (FN)

Propaganda | MAC-10

This skin contains Slavic in all of its entirety. The inscriptions mean Control, Fear, and Ablation (destruction of tissues with heat). All this is complemented by the tired gaze of a KGB officer staring right into your soul. The skin features a nice color scheme and Cubism-like figures, which was a popular art style in the early USSR. Shots to the head from such a weapon destroy the brain, just as propaganda does.

Price: $20.89 (BS) — $34.58 (FN)

Wild Lily | MP9

Before you get dizzy with the price, let's get one thing straight. This is not so much a skin as an investment. In early 2021, one of these cost just over $500. Now, you can get $2,000 for it, and the price is still increasing steadily, as you can't get it from any source other than by buying it. Putting the financial component aside, it's still one of the best Classified skins for the MP9. Pleasant violet-blue tones, intricate floral ornament, and a beautiful lily in the center won’t leave your opponents unimpressed.

Price: $1,649.85 (FT) — $2,260.85 (FN)

Primal Saber | UMP-45

When it comes to the best CS Classified skins for the UMP-45, this beauty is always at the top of the list. The skin is extremely popular in the community and, at the same time, costs a mere penny. The picture shows a stylized skull of a prehistoric saber-toothed beast. Especially beautiful are the fangs that extend the entire length of the magazine. A perfect tool for ripping and tearing.

Price: $1.08 (BS) — $7.33 (FN)

ST: $2.53 (BS) — $17.00 (FN)

Justice | MAG-7

It's easy to choose the best Classified grade skins in CS2 for a weapon when there are only two of them. And they are both good, don’t get us wrong. However, Justice costs 75 times less (!) than its counterpart, Cinquedea. It's also a very nice skin that fits this weapon perfectly: blue and gold tones, elegant lines, and a beautiful drawing of an embodiment of justice. As in many skins, this one has a drop of irony because, with MAG-7, you will be the one to carry law and justice on the battlefield.

Price: $1.20 (BS) — $8.45 (FN)

ST: $2.48 (BS) — $24.15 (FN)

Mjölnir | Negev

Here's the simplest choice for the cool Classified skins in CS2 for Negev because it's the only one. Judging by statistics, sometimes you can snatch it for $600-$700, but the usual price is closer to $1,000-$2,000. And it’s totally worth it. The skin is really beautiful and decorated with Scandinavian ornaments. The whole item is a reference to Thor's hammer, Mjölnir, and to be honest, these two weapons are quite comparable in terms of damage.

Price: $1,649.39 (BS) — $2,100.00 (FN)
