It shouldn’t come as a surprise that CSGO has such a large number of fans. It is one of the earliest first-person shooter (FPS) esports games that people liked playing and supported financially.
When it comes to Skins in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, they are just an inseparable part of the game’s culture since the Arms Deal update in 2013. However, for some, skins are a business. One with a lot of money in it. If you’re familiar with CSGO skins, you probably know how big an impact they have on the FPS title by Valve.
It is the introduction of skins that stopped the steadily declining player count of CSGO at a point in the past and turned it around. Opening cases are perhaps the quickest and easiest ways to get yourself some nice CSGO skins.
Today, it is a behemoth in the gaming and esports market with other games such as Dota 2 and League of Legends. Over 2.74 million peak viewers tuned in to watch the most recent PGL Major CSGO event, which shattered all previous records for the game.
Skins in CSGO function as their economy. The supply and demand of the market, in addition to other considerations, are two of the primary contributors to the fluctuating value and worth. Come along with us as we take a look at the 12 CSGO skins that cost the most money.
M4A4 HOWL
We can’t discuss the AK-47 without mentioning its counterterrorism version. New M4A4 Howls cost $7100. It’s one of the priciest M4A4 skins, notably the StatTrak FN variant, which costs over $13,000.
The M4A4 Howl skin is one of my favorites. It’s painted with a red and black growling wolf picture. It was first made available in 2014 as a part of the Huntsman Collection.
KARAMBIT CASE HARDENED BLUE GEM
A factory-new, case-hardened Karambit can cost over $120,000. Each Case-Hardened Karambit has a unique pattern. Factory-new designs can retail for $3300-$4600 or more for StatTrakTM variants.
It has a wear value of 0.0480 and a pattern template of 387. The “Blue Gem” knife is blue on one side.
SOUVENIR AWP DRAGON LORE
One of the most widely used firearms in CSGO is the AWP, also known as the Magnum Sniper Rifle. Because of this, the skins on this item sell for absolutely ridiculous amounts of money. The AWP is a legendary weapon that allowed us to pull off a plethora of incredible and seemingly impossible plays. It is entirely appropriate that an AWP skin will be among the most costly skins available within the game.
BUTTERFLY KNIFE LORE
Factory-new Butterfly Knife Lore skin costs $6,670 StatTrak costs $8,200. It’s challenging to get StatTrak™ kills with knives anyway, so it isn’t vital to have a StatTrak™ version.
Butterfly Knife Lore was released on September 21, 2021, as part of Dreams & Nightmares. It has a twisted golden blade. The primary hue is army green, with some yellow undertones and accents throughout.
SOUVENIR M4A1-S WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE
The following skin on the list is one of the most recent additions to the collection. It is certainly shocking to see some of the new skins because, in most cases, the older and rarer skins have higher pricing. This makes seeing some of the new skins rather surprising. Despite this, the M4A1-S Welcome to the Jungle is considered to be one of the “cheaper” options on the list.
In Factory New condition, the Welcome to the Jungle skin for the M4A1-S may be purchased for approximately USD 1,800. The Souvenir variation, on the other hand, in Factory New condition roughly triples the value of the original, with listings beginning at around $4,900.
AK-47 CASE HARDENED (661 PATTERN)
The next item on our list is a Case Hardened skin that we have available. We already know the value that may be obtained by utilizing a particular Case Hardened design. #661, or the “scar pattern,” is the AK-47 Case Hardened pattern to search for.
With this particular pattern, the top of the gun will appear to be completely clear and will be a vibrant shade of blue. In addition to that, it has a golden “scar” adjacent to the rear sight, which is where the name “scar pattern” comes from. It’s the most desirable pattern for an AK-47 Case Hardened skin, and you can acquire it here. AK-47 Case Hardened is part of the Arms Deal Collection and found in the CSGO Weapon Case.
AWP GUNGNIR
The AWP Gungnir’s blue and ivory body features Odin’s spear. It has Norse markings and texts, making it a weapon worthy of the Allfather. The Norse Collection’s AWP Gungnir was released on November 18.
M9 BAYONET CRIMSON WEB
The M9 Bayonet Crimson Web skin is the next in our lineup. Another knife is known as the M9 Bayonet. It is designed to be attached to a rifle, but it is also quite effective in combat situations that take place in close quarters. The Crimson Web M9 Bayonet gives the knife a crimson base coat with a spider-web pattern and a semi-gloss topcoat. The pattern is on the blade of the weapon.
The price of a brand-new M9 Bayonet Crimson Web knife from the factory is approximately $7,600. On the other hand, some ads have prices ranging from $6,000 up to $7,300 in some cases. The StatTrakTM version of the knife has a price range of $7,500 to $15,000 depending on the model.
TALON KNIFE CRIMSON WEB
Following that, the next item on our agenda is a different skin for the Crimson Web. I’m sure that these Crimson Web skins fetch a high price on the market; I just wish that I had one of them in stock. The price of the Crimson Web skin for the Talon Knife is quite close to that of the Crimson Web skin for the M9 Bayonet, which is approximately $11,500.
The price of a brand-new, factory-sealed Crimson Web Talon knife is a more “fair” $2,600. The value of a StatTrak version in the same condition, however, nearly multiplies itself to x6 and is currently estimated to be over $11,500.
AK-47 FIRE SERPENT
The final item on our list has a price tag that is still greater than $4,000. It’s a significant amount of money that, for the vast majority of individuals, is just out of their price range. While some families can get by on $4,000 in a single month, there is someone else who just lets it sit in his inventory.
The AK-47 Fire Serpent can be purchased in several CSGO skins marketplaces for a price that ranges between $1,900 and $3,120 in Factory New condition.
It was included in the update for Operation Bravo that was made available on September 19, 2013. The CSGO weapon skin known as the AK-47 Fire Serpent is a component of the Bravo Collection and can be acquired from the Operation Bravo case. The AK-47 Fire Serpent skin is used by several well-known professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players, including FalleN and coldzera.
BUTTERFLY KNIFE CRIMSON WEB
The preceding three skins have all had six digits or more in their total. Finally, we’ve decided to dial it back a little bit and go with a skin that’s still insane but costs $40,000 less. It will cost you approximately $8,000 to purchase the Butterfly Knife Crimson Web in Factory New condition. You can receive up to $42,000 for a single StatTrak skin in Factory New condition.
Butterfly Knife Crimson Web was introduced to CSGO on July 1, 2014. This skin is not included in any collection, and the only way to acquire it is to crack open an Operation Breakout Weapon container.
