Skins in CS2, as you know, can fetch a pretty penny on the high side, but what about cheap skins in CS2? A virtual economy worth billions is the result of the introduction of tradeable skins to Counter-Strike over a decade ago, highlighted by the rarest and most lucrative weapon skins.
Some of the rarest skins ever opened from a case have sold for thousands of dollars, but not everyone has the money to throw around so lavishly. Rather than spend money on those skins, or on case-opening keys, some players just want to have a complete inventory without breaking the bank.

Best Cheap CS2 Skins
Rather than list cheap skins for every single weapon, we’re going to focus on a few options for what are considered the primary weapons: the main rifles and default pistols for the T-side and CT-side, the AWP, and the knife. Skins for these weapons are generally more expensive anyway, given how often they’re seen and used, so finding value here is the most important.
Each price listing is the lowest price at a Well Worn or higher wear rating. Well Worn items are cheaper but not as cheap (or worn out) as Battle-Scarred items.
