Best Yellow Skins in CS2

Today, we’re going to talk about what a perfect CS2 yellow skins loadout can look like, and provide screenshots, descriptions, and prices for the best options in every category. Starting with pistols, we will go on to knives, rifles, and so on. Although there are not so many yellow CS2 skins, several nice cosmetics are available for every weapon slot. Our picks are not based solely on the skins’ prices—no random overvalued yellow glock skins in CS2 here. We’ve picked only beautiful items actually loved by the community. With that being said, let’s jump to the first category.

Please note that prices were current in August 2024 when the article was written and may change over time.

Five-SeveN Monkey Business | Pistol-type

Five-SeveN Monkey Business MW

MW

Five-SeveN Monkey Business BS

BS

This is one of the more recognizable yellow skins in CS2. Five-SeveN Monkey Business first saw the world on April 15th, 2015 with the release of Chroma 2 Case. With its simple design (a painting of a banana, labeled #57, stretching from the bottom of the handle to the tip of the barrel) and a bright blue trigger as a cherry on top, this pistol is all you may want from a yellow skin.

CZ75-Auto Yellow Jacket BS

The next pistol on our list of the best yellow skins in CS2 is kinda similar to the previous one but comes with a mellow abstract pattern on the black base. This design gives whoever plays with the CZ75-Auto Yellow Jacket that smooth Bumblebee Camaro vibe—a huge boost to confidence that’s so crucial in CS.

Tec-9 Fuel Injector | Pistol-type

Tec-9 Fuel Injector FN

Tec-9 Fuel Injector BS

BS

Sadly, there are no classy yellow deagle skins in CS2, but there’s a decent alternative for your CS2 yellow skins loadout on the T side. We’re talking about Tec-9 Fuel Injector—a skin that was released on August 18th, 2016, in the Gamma 2 Case. Desert Eagle is good, but does it give a feeling of a top-notch vintage thing that’s still better than its modern alternatives? Well, the Tec-9 Fuel Injector does. Seriously, take a look at it—pure class. We guess many pro players share our opinion, as the amount of frags scored with Tec-9 Fuel Injectors during the current and previous CS season is enormous.

Price: $1.87 (BS) — $11.97 (FN)

M9 Bayonet Tiger Tooth | Knife-type

M9 Bayonet Tiger Tooth MW

MW

Moving to yellow knife skins in CS2 now. One of the most beautiful and popular among these is M9 Bayonet Tiger Tooth—a skin released on January 8th, 2015, in the Chroma 3 Case. The knife’s size and shape, combined with Tiger Tooth bronze yellow-shaded pattern, create a stunning skin that feels like a sacred jewel (and costs like one as well).

Price: $953.00 (MW) — $979.76 (FN)

ST: $954.33 (MW) — $925.34 (FN)

Karambit Lore | Knife-type

Karambit Lore FN

FN

Karambit Lore BS

BS

Next up is the Karambit Lore—another excellent yellow knife for your collection. Its rounded blade perfectly suits the weird spirals of the Lore finish. On top of it, the blade shines with yellow gold, contrasting the dark green handle wonderfully. This skin became popular right after its introduction in the Gamma 2 Case on June 15th, 2016, and the demand remains high almost a decade later. However, to fully appreciate the magic, you have to go for Factory New or Minimal Wear quality, which is quite costly.

Price: $596.30 (BS) — $1,848.00 (FN)

ST: $594.60 (BS) — $1,654.00 (FN)

M4A1-S Golden Coil | Rifle-type

M4A1-S Golden Coil BS

It's time to check the best CS yellow skins in the Rifle category. Here, M4A1-S Golden Coil is one of the go-tos. The rifle was released on September 17th, 2015, in the Shadow Case, and went on to become one of CS2 best yellow skins ever. It has a clean, dynamic design inspired by Eastern motifs topped up with various yellow and gold shades—it feels like a work of art. Which of the skins inspired by Eastern cultures do you like the most?

Rarity: Covert

Price: $28.91 (BS) — $133.49 (FN)

ST: $58.16 (BS) — $289.92 (FN)

M4A1-S Chantico’s Fire FN

M4A1-S Chantico’s Fire BS

BS

Next up is Chantico’s Fire—another M4A1-S with a sick design. A vibrant display of sophisticated yellow and red patterns featuring bold geometric shapes—this skin stands out even among other impressive designs available for this gun. As a result, ever since its release in the Chroma 3 Case in April 2016, M4A1-S Chantico’s Fire is permanently among CS2 best yellow skins. Playing with this skin feels amazing, and thousands of players across all tiers rank Chantico’s Fire very positively. Check out this highlight from ScreaM before moving on to the next rifle.

Rarity: Covert

AK-47 Gold Arabesque | Rifle-type

AK-47 Gold Arabesque FN

FN

AK-47 Gold Arabesque BS

BS

Moving to yellow AK skins in CS2. Although the AK-47 Gold Arabesque is not technically yellow, it kind of is, so we definitely have to put this gem on our list. A glittering rifle that looks like a fashion designer’s work, a pure display of status—one look is enough to understand it all. This rare skin was introduced on September 21st, 2021, as part of the Rio 2022 Dust II Souvenir Package. By the way, current prices are pretty low compared to what this skin used to cost. Would you buy one of these?

Rarity: Covert

Price: $1,392.01 (BS) — $2,863.92 (FN)

Souvenir: $1,370.52 (BS) — $4,983.64 (FN)

AWP Dragon Lore BS

BS

Next up is the big boy on our list—AWP Dragon Lore, the most famous and loved item among the yellow AWP skins in CS2. This monster was unleashed on July 1st, 2014, along with the Boston 2018 Cobblestone Souvenir Package. Its design features a majestic dragon breathing fire in a lively composition dominated by rich, hot golden-yellow tones. Extreme scarcity and demand had made AWP Dragon Lore a confirmed legendary skin on release. You know the rest of the story.

Price: $3,900.00 (BS) — $11,310.99 (FN)

MP9 Bulldozer | SMG-type

MP9 Bulldozer FN

FN

MP9 Bulldozer BS

BS

MP9 Bulldozer is easily the most recognizable of CS2 yellow skins. Its first appearance was on August 14th, 2013, during the “The Arms Deal” update. Bulldozer’s strength lies in its simplicity—the main body is covered in radiant yellow color, while the barrel, mag, trigger, and stock are black—racing car vibes for a racing CS2 gameplay with MP9. Would you play with one of these? Perhaps you’re a UMP lover? Move on to the next skin, then.

Rarity: Restricted

Price: $66.93 (BS) — $621.19 (FN)

UMP-45 Blaze | SMG-type

UMP-45 Blaze FN

FN

UMP-45 Blaze MW

MW

There are players who view UMP-45 as a waste of a loadout slot, and there are those who have used it ever since it was introduced to the game. For the second category of players, Blaze from the November 27th, 2013, Berlin 2019 Mirage Souvenir Package is often a skin of choice. At first glance, there’s not much yellow in it, but when you shoot this thing in ever-glittering CS2, all kinds of yellow shades, from white to crimson, transform this UMP into a raging flamethrower. Check out some YouTubers fooling around with UMP-45 Blaze to get a closer look.

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade

Price: $30.88 (MW) — $13.56 (FN)

Souvenir: $30.74 (MW) — $24.06 (FN)

MAG-7 Hazard | Heavy-type

MAG-7 Hazard FN

FN

MAG-7 Hazard BS

BS

Next up on our list of CS2 best yellow skins is MAG-7 Hazard, a shotgun distinguished by a classic striped black and yellow diagonal pattern painted across its entire frame. Simple but powerful design that beautifully complements the essence of MAG-7. In BS condition, the same yellow diagonals and the exposed black metal can add a new sci-fi flavor to your gameplay. Hazard was set to success right after its release on September 19th, 2013, during the “Operation Bravo” update.

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade

Price: $10.99 (BS) — $90.00 (FN)

Negev Power Loader | Heavy-type

Negev Power Loader FN

FN

Negev Power Loader BS

BS

Next up is the Negev Power Loader—a skin from the 2015 Revolver Case that provided a much-needed alternative for the grim and downright ugly options available at the time. We’re not saying that Negev Power Loader is in the top 3 of the best yellow skins in CS2, yet it’s a cool-looking, clean, and vibrant skin that combines yellow, blue, and black rather well. Geometric shapes that create an illusion of motion towards the muzzle combined with a bold NEGEV caption create a powerful representation of what this gun can do.

Rarity: Restricted

Price: $0.82 (BS) — $5.62 (FN)

ST: $1.78 (BS) — $26.29 (FN)

Hand Wraps CAUTION! | Glove-type

Hand Wraps CAUTION! FN

FN

Hand Wraps CAUTION! BS

BS

Told ya there are cool yellow skins for every slot of your inventory—on to the gloves now. Starting off with Hand Wraps CAUTION!—gloves that were introduced pretty recently, on December 3rd, 2020, in the Recoil Case. As the name suggests, players wearing these are to be approached carefully. Look, yellow wraps placed on top of a dark fabric literally warn us to keep away. Jokes aside, some people just love this skin, and some people consider it complete garbage—which one are you?

Price: $145.97 (BS) — $849.99 (FN)

Sport Gloves Omega | Glove-type

Sport Gloves Omega FN

FN

Sport Gloves Omega BS

BS

One might argue that Hand Wraps CAUTION! might be yellow, but they’re not technically gloves. Well, for those glove purists among you, we have Sport Gloves Omega. They came out on February 14th, 2018, with the Revolution Case release, and gradually gained a reputation as a beautiful, sophisticated dress code choice for humble players. It’s definitely not the best yellow CS2 skin overall, but it has its vibe for sure. So, for the yellow gloves category, we think Omega is the best you can get.

Price: $212.61 (BS) — $2,947.73 (FN)
