The transition to the new engine has brought several visual updates at once. Most notable was the improved look of the maps, some of which have been redesigned completely. Of course, the changes didn't go without skins. Not all the innovations in their display have been received positively by the community, but we can already say that some skins in CS2 definitely look better. It may be worth buying them now, because when the updated version of the game is released to the public, their price is likely to increase due to increased demand.
AWP Sun in Leo
This skin, added to the game in 2015, is considered by many to be one of the best budget designs for a sniper rifle. However, in CS:GO AWP Sun in Leo looked rather dark, making the zodiac signs and constellation patterns on the hull difficult to distinguish. In CS2, the skin is brighter and its overall hue has changed slightly. As a result, the pattern is more visible and the rifle looks more impressive.
M4A1-SMoss Quartz
Similar changes were made to M4A1-S Moss Quartz. Released in 2019, this skin was not particularly popular due to its unimpressive dark green pattern. Its version in CS2 has brighter elements and light green accents, and thanks to the way the light now reflects from metal surfaces, the skin becomes more noticeable.
Butterfly Knife Blue Steel
Of course, the visual updates to the game have affected the knives as well. One of the most striking examples – Butterfly Knife Blue Steel. For a long time it was left among the less popular knives because it looks too dark or unimpressive. However, in CS2 its blade has become lighter, and the inserts on the hilt now look more contrasting.
Desert Eagle Cobalt Desctruction
In previous cases, the skin design in the updated version became more contrasting, but there are also variants where the changes are in the opposite direction. For example, Desert Eagle Cobalt Disruption in CS:GO is painted in an abstract pattern that combines light blue and gray-blue. Often this design has been criticized for being too sloppy, pixelated looking. In CS2, the contrast has become less harsh, and the surface of the weapon looks especially good when sunlight hits it.
Five-SeveN Copper Galaxy
Skins that use metallic textures in their design have especially benefited from the update. An example is – Five-SeveN Copper Galaxy. When light falls on this weapon in CS2, the case glows golden – much more pleasing to the eye than the dark yellow surface in the original version. A great option for those who prefer a minimalistic style.
Graphics changes have affected many other skins – we can only wait until the version will be available to more players to check it out for yourself. In the meantime, don't forget to replenish your collection at Lis-Skins.ru – in our catalog you will find these and other skins at bargain prices.
