All skins in CS2 are divided into several types based on the probability of dropping from containers. Covert quality skins are usually the most vivid and recognizable even from a distance, and the probability of obtaining them by opening a container is 0.64%. It's no wonder that their prices can rise quite high, especially if a specimen is in high demand. Nevertheless, there are covert quality skins that will become a bright addition to your arsenal but are still quite affordable.
P250 See Ya Later
The original design of the P250 See Ya Later is unmistakable. A large part of the body features a stylized image of a toothy alligator's maw with fiery eyes. The black-green-yellow pattern may seem simple, but it looks good even on specimens with average float values. Such options can be found on sale for $2-3.
Five-SeveN Angry Mob
Among the pistol skins in CS2, there are plenty of bright options. The Five-SeveN Angry Mob is definitely one of them. Cartoon creatures, tongues of flame, and lightning bolts flying towards the enemy - if you are looking for a skin charged with expressive emotions, this is what you need. Add this set of acid colors to your collection for just $4-5.
MP9 Starlight Protector
The MP9 Starlight Protector is another design that will appeal to those who do not like their weapon's paint job to look too serious. A brightly painted unicorn, golden stars, and an ornament of gray and white stripes come together in a magical picture. In the "Minimal Wear" condition, this skin will cost $5-6.
P90 Asiimov
The cheapest gun in the Asiimov series also finds a place in this collection. It may not look as stylish as the famous AWP Asiimov, but the futuristic black and orange stripe pattern remains just as recognizable. If you aim to definitely buy a "Factory New" quality, you can do so for $10-15 or even less.
Sawed-Off The Kraken
Another skin inspired by the image of a fearsome monster does not fall short in brightness. Orange tentacles of a sea monster seem to wrap around the body of the sawed-off, occupying almost its entire area. Although this weapon is not so frequently seen in matches, the Sawed-Off The Kraken will definitely take a worthy place in your collection. Depending on the quality, it may cost $3-4.
M4A4 Temukau
If you're looking for a covert skin for CS2 in anime style, an appropriate option can also be found. The M4A4 Temukau is covered with Japanese script, and the central part of the body features an image of a girl with flowing hair. Due to the combination of colors, this skin might seem too cute to some, but anime fans will definitely like it. Options with average float values can be found for about ten dollars, but a "Minimal Wear" will cost several tens.
MAC-10 Neon Rider
Painted in similar colors is the covert skin for MAC-10 named Neon Rider. The image of a racer in a helmet, dynamic stripes along the body, and the brightest shades of pink and blue available – a true embodiment of retrowave.
AK-47 Legion of Anubis
Most rare skins for AK-47 are expensive, but there are pleasant exceptions. You can add the AK-47 Legion of Anubis to your collection for just five to seven dollars. Most of the surface of the rifle is covered with golden ornaments inspired by Egyptian mythology. It was added to the game in 2020 and quickly gained popularity.
AK-47 Headshot
Another suitable option for the "Kalashnikov" is the AK-47 Headshot. From a distance, it might seem that the surface of the weapon is covered with chaotic colorful spots, but up close, you can see that they form the words HEAD SHOT GUN in graffiti style. However, your opponents definitely won't have time to read it.
AWP Chromatic Aberration
If you are looking for a covert skin for a sniper rifle, the most affordable option might be the AWP Chromatic Aberration. An abstract pattern of bright violet stripes on a black background looks like an unusual illusion. Alternatively, for another rifle model, consider the SSG 08 Dragonfire, which costs a bit more.
