CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu

While not the best purple CS2 skin overall, Xiangliu definitely stands out in both The Spectrum Collection and its price range. Community designer The Honey Badger based this composition around a mesmerizing Chinese mythology-inspired creature that appears all through the weapon’s pattern in different shades of purple. Despite its relatively low price, this skin feels like it would be right at home in some art connoisseur’s collection.

Price: $6.19 (BS) — $10.79 (FN)

ST: $12.45 (BS) — $22.95 (MW)

USP-S | Purple DDPAT

Introduced in 2021 and available in several cases, this skin is for DDPAT lovers who love to appear elegant and sophisticated. The gun’s rich multicolored pattern becomes blurry in Battle-Scarred condition, but the price for a Factory New one is so sweet that you can probably afford it.

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade

Price: $15.33 (BS) — $14.10 (FN)

Souvenir: $1.30 (BS) — $7.70 (MW)

Five-SeveN | Violent Daimyo

One of the best purple skins in CS2, this Japanese-inspired beauty was released in 2016 in Gamma Case. Seasoned players will likely recognize the skin as another child of The Honey Badger for its laconic but exquisite beauty. It is not for nothing that the gun’s flavor text says, “How will you rule?” which is a reference to the ancient traditional Japanese landlords — daimyos. In your hands, this weapon can become a regal symbol of power. You choose — execution or pardon!

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade

Price: $0.08 (BS) — $0.44 (FN)

ST: $0.24 (BS) — $1.89 (MW)

Falchion Knife | Freehand

Of course, some of the best-looking purple Counter-Strike 2 skins can be found among the game’s most prestigious cosmetics: knives. This specimen, for instance, combines the regal color with a street art inspired pattern. Released in the Dreams & Nightmares Case, this skin can easily become both of those things in capable hands. You can almost feel this call from the weird inscriptions on the blade.

Rarity: Covert

Price: $110.41 (BS) — $158.00 (FN)

ST: $102.32 (BS) — $174.58 (FN)

M9 Bayonet | Doppler

Almost a decade ago, the Chroma 3 Case introduced the now-legendary Doppler design  family to the game, and its pattern #418 has found its way into our list. As you may see, purple, blue, and red hues intertwined in a wild dance on the knife’s blade like splashes of paint on some striking abstract composition!

Rarity: Covert

Price: $1,226.01 (MW) — $1,155.00 (FN)

ST: $1,099.48 (MW) — $1,143.00 (FN)

Shadow Daggers | Ultraviolet

The Ultraviolet family seems like a natural fit for our list of the top purple CS skins, and we couldn’t help but discuss at least one of its designs here. With almost every knife available in this finish, Shadow Daggers are probably the purplest of them all. The combination of dark and purple is elegant and brutal at the same time. It is probably one of the best things the 2017 Spectrum 2 Case has brought us.

Rarity: Covert

Price: $71.75 (BS) — $199.72 (FN)

ST: $94.76 (BS) — $125.15 (MW)

M4A1-S | Black Lotus

Starting from the early version of the game, M4A1 provided quiet shots with less recoil and better accuracy than other rifles of its class. Add a mesmerizing skin like Black Lotus, and you are close to perfection. And this weapon is not just one of the best purple CS2 skins; it’s one of the best skins, period. Released in 2024 by Moonfighter in the Kilowatt Collection, it has already captured fans' hearts with a whopping 99% of popularity. And it’s quite affordable, too, so everyone can see this beauty first-hand.

Galil AR | Phoenix Blacklight

Released as part of the "Operation Broken Fang" update, this skin features the iconic Phoenix head, a symbol of the in-game terrorist faction, “Phoenix Connexion.” The immortal bird is surrounded by graffiti-style inscriptions, adding a touch of craziness to the gun’s design. The skin also changes slightly depending on the pattern index. The most expensive and sought-after patterns are #755, #963, or #619, where you can clearly see the namesake phoenix's head. Those skin versions are hard to come by, but according to the community they are worth the effort.

Price: $38.10 (BS) — $56.87 (FN)

G3SG1 | Flux

Flux, in basic terms, is a concept of flow through a surface. And there's quite a lot of flow happening on this aptly named example of the best-looking purple CS2 skins the game has to offer. Released in 2015 with the Shadow Boxing update, this skin is full of elegant nobility. Also, is it just us, or does the Factory New condition give some Evangelion vibes?

ST: $48.61 (BS) — $287.00 (MW)

MP9 | Wild Lily

Wild Lily is a high-quality piece of art, as you can probably guess by looking at its price. Part of the St. Marc Collection and released with the Operation Shattered Web update, this skin is currently impossible to obtain in the game. However, its contrasting elements and magnificent use of color are something you want to have in your collection. The sweet and innocent beauty of this lily will gladly take your enemies as sacrifice.

Price: $1,803.29 (FT) — $2,029.74 (FN)

UMP-45 | Moonrise

We move from the most expensive item on our list to its cheapest counterpart. Introduced in 2019, this beautiful piece of The Prisma Collection displays a night city landscape on a background of purple night sky and a bright red moon. Is it San Francisco, New York, or some eerie dreamscape? MGBazz wanted to create something simple yet unforgettable and never revealed what the composition is meant to depict, so now you have something to occupy your mind on relaxed rounds.

This weapon, unlike most CS2 purple skins, offers a wide variety of vibes.

Whatever you choose, the skin’s gaze will always follow you in close-quarter fights.

Driver Gloves | Imperial Plaid

Any purple loadout cannot be considered finished without these gloves, first released into the game in the Revolution Case in 2018. Their combination of style and toughness earns this pair a place among the best purple skins in Counter-Strike 2. The gloves feature a beautiful plaid pattern with rich purple hues and lighter stripes, making them look classy and durable. The design is detailed and elegant, and resembles some high-society sportcar wear.

Price: $194.92 (BS) — $1,400.00 (FN)
