Best Scar-20 Skins in CS2

The Scar-20 is often referred to as the AWP's big brother, and for good reason. Indeed, the game suggests that this most expensive weapon in the game should deliver the ultimate answer to any situation. Its automatic sniper rifle indeed compensates for the AWP's biggest drawback—the low fire rate. However, the Scar-20 doesn’t guarantee a one-shot kill, especially when it comes to an armored enemy. That’s why it doesn’t see much action in a competitive environment, and when it does, it is mostly used as a suppressive gun. Nevertheless, this weapon also has its fans, and Valve never disappoints them with some awesome skins. So, let's take a look at the best Scar-20 skins in CS2.

Outbreak

What do a virus and the Scar-20’s drumbeat have in common? Once they're out there, they're almost impossible to stop. The Outbreak skin is one of the coolest Scar-20 skins in CS2, channeling a biological hazard theme. The skin’s base is light yellow, while the dark green lines represent a biohazard sign. It is also incredibly cheap—even in Factory New condition, it'll only set you back about a quarter.

Rarity: Mil-Spec

Price: $0.08 (BS) – $0.26 (FN)

ST: $0.29 (BS) – $1.10 (FN)

Magna Carta

Next up, we have the representative of the best Scar-20 skins on our list—a luxurious Magna Carta, an elegant skin that looks like it came straight out of a history book. With its parchment-inspired design and historical map, this skin itself appeared relatively recently, in December 2020, as part of The Control Collection. And while it’s still waiting to leave its mark, perhaps owning it will make you a part of SCAR-20 history.

Rarity: Mil-Spec

Price: $16.89 (BS) – $22.00 (FN)

Poultrygeist

Remember taking potshots at chickens during matches here and there?  Well, the chickens remember, too, they're all here, and they're back for revenge with the Poultrygeist skin. But you can unleash their fury on your enemies and avoid getting overrun by this feathered vengeance.

This is the best Scar-20 skin in terms of the drawing's colorfulness and detail. It's also dirt cheap. The priciest version costs only 45 cents, but if your budget is tight, you can snag one for the price starting at 3 cents. This is probably due to the low popularity of the Scar-20 itself. It's silly to buy a skin for a weapon you hardly ever use, but hey, it's a win for you.

Rarity: Mil-Spec

Price: $0.03 (BS) – $0.13 (FN)

ST: $0.07 (BS) – $0.45 (FN)

Bloodsport

For esports fans, Bloodsport is one of the ultimate CS2 Scar-20 skins. Covered in bright decals and text, this skin screams pro-scene energy. It’s so busy that you probably don’t need to add any stickers; it is already covered with a lot of funny text and pictures. But if you do decide to add some, it won’t hurt the look. It’s the perfect skin on Scar-20 for those looking to rep their favorite teams or commemorate major esports events.

Rarity: Classified

Price: $2.17 (WW) – $6.20 (FN)

ST: $4.45 (WW) – $14.09 (FN)

Cardiac

Every good sniper always keeps an eye on the heartbeat. It is said that the shot should be taken between heartbeats to steady your aim minimizing hand tremors. And while this may not fully apply to an automatic sniper rifle, the Cardiac skin is a great reminder to stay calm under pressure. Styled with a heartbeat line in orange-red and blue colors, it will definitely make your opponents' hearts skip a beat when they see you coming. One of the best CS Scar-20 skins out there, without a doubt.

Rarity: Classified

Price: $4.16 (BS) – $9.57 (FN)

ST:  $7.56 (BS) – $43.53 (FN)

Enforcer

The Enforcer brings a sleek, futuristic vibe to the SCAR-20, with sharp corners and a minimalist design. The color scheme perfectly suits this weapon, as the bright accents on the individual parts stand out exactly as much as it is necessary. At the same time, the basic background is made in graphite colors. Sharp corners only emphasize the danger of the weapon. Released in 2020 as part of The Prisma 2 Collection, this skin is affordable but packs a punch in terms of style.

Rarity: Restricted

Price: $0.17 (BS) – $1.34 (FN)

ST:  $0.49 (BS) – $3.98 (FN)

Grotto

Channeling prehistoric vibes, the incredibly beautiful Grotto skin takes you back to the caveman days when survival was key. Its name evokes the ancient shelters of early hunters who hid from predators and weather, depicting the scenes from their lives on the walls. The walls of the grotto were lined with spears, and you are holding a product of the evolution of their tool. Their weapons were the predecessors of today’s rifles. While technology has evolved, the basic rules of survival remain unchanged. Undoubtedly, it is one of the CS2 best SCAR skins, especially when you consider its bargain price.

Rarity: Mil-Spec

Price: $0.34 (FN) – $0.55 (BS)

ST:  $0.47 (BS) – $1.19 (FN)

Powercore

This skin captures the flavor of the Scar-20 in the best possible way. "Power Tool" is everything you need to know about the rifle. Designed by Endrit, this futuristic industrial look features green and yellow tones reminiscent of a jackhammer or water jet cutter. Whatever this skin symbolizes, the essence remains unchanged — there will be a few more holes in the enemy. It was first released in August 2016 as part of The Gamma 2 Collection.

Rarity: Restricted

Price: $0.18 (BS) – $1.35 (FN)

ST: $0.38 (BS) – $3.48 (FN)

Jungle Slipstream

The Scar-20 is a weapon built for commandos, effective and versatile. Respectively, the Jungle Slipstream skin is one of the best Scars in CS2 designed after these guys’ natural habitat.  With its camouflage design in green and yellow, it may not help you hide, but when you’re wielding a beast like this, you probably don't need to hide anyway. Nevertheless, the skin looks great on the rifle and hints that you are not to be trifled with. It definitely gives off a “don’t mess with me” vibe, making it one of the best choices in CS2

Rarity: Mil-Spec

Price: $0.05 (BS) – $0.13 (FN)

ST: $0.12 (BS) – $0.48 (FN)

Emerald

Sometimes, simplicity speaks louder than intricate designs, and the Emerald skin proves just that. There's no mottled pattern or intricate color combination here, but it's still one of the best Scar skins in CS2. It's covered in shiny green paint, which makes it look luxurious and elegant. It doesn't even have any worn-out versions, as this weapon should shine on the battlefield and no other way. First introduced in September 2013 as part of The Alpha Collection during Operation Bravo, it’s a timeless option for SCAR-20 fans who want to make a statement on the battlefield.

Rarity: Restricted

Price: $51.72 (MW) – $21.63 (FN)
