The AK-47 in Counter-Strike is one of the most common and recognizable types of weapons. It is a powerful assault rifle that stands out for its high power and versatility of use, capable of inflicting significant damage on the enemy. Today, we'll discuss the most expensive AK-47s in CS2.
Features and characteristics of the AK-47 in CS2
The AK-47 is a sufficiently powerful and strong firearm highly valued by shooter players. The main characteristics and advantages of the Kalashnikov are:
High accuracy of impact. Just one headshot, even through a helmet, kills the enemy.
Possibility of quickly eliminating enemies at medium distances.
Chance to destroy several enemies or even an entire enemy team with one magazine.
Penetration of barriers: thin walls and doors, allowing hitting enemies if they are using cover.
Versatility of use. This weapon works effectively in the conditions of any maps and game scenarios, regardless of the chosen tactics. The Kalashnikov is suitable for sudden attacks, controlling key map points, and other strategies.
Intimidation of the enemy. The sound of this weapon, as well as its high power, psychologically affects the enemy, making them fear and act more cautiously.
Anyone who wants to use such a weapon in the game should consider that managing it is not easy. The high recoil of the AK-47 requires certain skills and training.
List of expensive AK-47s in CS2
In the winter of 2024, it became known that the most expensive Kalash in CS2 had been sold. It is a very rare AK-47 Case Hardened. The owner sold it for a fabulous amount – $2,000,000! There are only 10 units of this model of the weapon in this particular coloration in the game.
The player who sold the rare skin crafted it in January 2024.
Generally, the Case Hardened weapon family is something special in the game. Each skin from this series has its pattern number, so you will not find another of the same.
Now, let's consider other expensive AK-47s in CS2:
AK-47 WILD LOTUS
The game contains a limited number of this item – only 565 instances. This skin does not have a StatTrak version, but it remains one of the most desired and expensive in-game items. The item was added to the game in 2019. It is distinguished by a bright, impressive design.
The body of this rifle is decorated with a realistic floral ornament consisting of delicate lotus flowers and leaves. It predominantly features shades of green, with orange and pink colors present as well. The lotus symbolizes the path of enlightenment and self-improvement.
