Bling out your AK47 with these Counter-Strike: Global Offensive skins.
The AK47 is the best rifle in CS:GO, and the ability to one-tap opponents with a headshot is pretty satisfying. Although the spray pattern for the weapon is quite complex, those who can control the firearm can be a deadly resource for the team.
Through the numerous collections added into the game over the years, tons of unique AK47 skins have been released, each with an extraordinary and distinctive look. With the wide variety of options available, there is a constant search for which AK47 skin is the best. Considering factors like overall appearance, popularity, and more, the following section lists the finest AK47 Skins of CS:GO.
Price and pattern were taken into account, although they were not the primary criteria when assessing the skins.
10AK47 Slate
Slate is one of the most budget-friendly, and probably the best, AK47 skin in the Restricted category. It was made available in the game as part of the Snakebite Collection with the launch of the Snakebite Case in May 2021.
The skin provides a clean look to the weapon, and those who like black-themed skins would love it. Based on the condition, you can purchase the regular variants between $9.50 and $2.20. Accordingly, investing in this could be worth it if you do not wish to spend a lot on a skin.
9AK47 Asiimov
The Asiimov is among the most iconic collections in CS:GO history, and the AK47 Asiimov is one of the many skins of its kind that have been added to the game. It was designed by Coridium, who has also come up with other popular skins like the AK47 Neon Revolution and M4A1-S Decimator.
The color combination of AK47 Asiimov is perfect, and you will enjoy hitting the headshots while utilizing this skin during competitive matches. The Factory New condition of this skin is pricey, and you will have to shell out somewhat below $275 to get your hands on it. Besides that, the other conditions will not require even a quarter of that amount.
8AK47 Neon Rider
The mashup of colors in AK47 Neon Rider gives it a pleasant and futuristic look, which has made the skin reasonably popular in the game’s community. This skin was introduced to CS:GO a while back, as part of the Horizon Case in August 2018.
AK47 Neon Rider’s design is accredited to Puffin, who has several other skins under his sleeves like the SSG 08 Dragonfire and MAC-10 Neon Rider. Buying the regular conditions could be a decent purchase for your inventory, and you can spend a little higher for the StatTrack variants too.
7AK47 Case Hardened
The AK47 Case Hardened stands out as one of the most popular pattern-based skins, and some unique patterns of this go for massive amounts. Even though the general look of the skin doesn’t appeal to most, the specific patterns have a great demand, and there are loads of people in the skin market interested in acquiring this.
Thus, based on its overall popularity, the Case Hardened certainly deserves a spot on the list. In addition, it emerges as one of the oldest AK47 skins in the game, being released with the first case – CS:GO Weapon Case.
6AK47 The Empress
The Empress is a pretty eye-catching skin for the AK47, giving the firearm a rich and royal look. According to the recent sales on the Steam Market, you will be able to find the weapon between $160 and $20, with the Factory New costing the former, while the Battle-Scarred priced at the latter.
The skin was basically designed with the Empress tarot card as an inspiration, and Valve introduced it to the game as part of the Spectrum 2 Collection. You can acquire it by opening Spectrum 2 Case or directly purchasing it through Steam Market or other trusted marketplaces online.
5AK47 Ice Coaled
Despite the fact that Ice Coaled is a relatively fresh AK47 skin, it has swiftly gained popularity within the game’s community thanks to the impeccable design featuring a gradient of green and blue. You can find the skin in the Recoil Case, which was added to CS:GO in July 2022.
The Ice Coaled isn’t as costly as most of the other skins on this list, and you can get Factory New for less than $35 and the lower three qualities – Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred under $10. Keeping the price in mind, you can purchase this skin and place some cool stickers onto it.
4AK47 Bloodsport
AK47 Bloodsport and its theme featuring Black, Red, and White look stunning, making it arguably the best-looking skin you can find for the gun in CS:GO. SLIMEface is responsible for this and multiple different Bloodsport-themed skins, and others like Dual Berettas Cobra Strike.
Being in the Covert category, buying the AK47 Bloodsport would not be a cheap affair, and you would need $150-$100 to get your hands on the different conditions of the default variant. On the other hand, the StatTrack ones would cost you significantly more, but might be worth it if you want a kill counter on your beloved skin.
3AK47 Wild Lotus
AK47 Wild Lotus is the main highlight of the The St. Marc Collection, launched in November 2019 in line with Operation Shattered Web. The lotus design drawn onto the green base color looks stunning, and it would be a delight to see this skin in CS:GO.
However, AK47 Wild Lotus is a pretty rare skin, and finding it on sale would be pretty difficult. Acquiring this skin wouldn’t be for the regular players as the prices start at a couple of thousand dollars and easily surpass the $10,000 mark.
2AK47 Fuel Injector
With its bright color and shiny appearance, AK47 Fuel Injector is one of the best AK47 skins in CS:GO history. Along with the yellow-themed body, the silver paint with the distinctive design on the magazine is another aspect of the overall design that makes this skin better than the rest of the ones inside the game.
Valve introduced the AK47 Fuel Injector through the Wildfire Collection, and you can unbox it from the Operation Wildfire Case. The Factory New Float looks terrific on the skin, and if you cannot afford to purchase it, you may go for the Field-Tested or Well-Worn as they look fantastic and are comparatively much cheaper.
1AK47 Vulcan
Vulcan stands at the top spot on this list of the best AK47 skins, and many players use it. The design consisting of Black, White, and Blue, is simple yet effective, which is why the CS:GO community relishes the AK47 Vulcan.
The skin was designed by jim’s, and was released through the Huntsman Collection in May 2014. Even though the skin is now close to ten years old, it hasn’t aged a bit, and you can use stickers of teams like Cloud 9 to enhance the overall look further.
