SOUVENIRS IN CS2: End of the year, maybe a souvenir?
Skins as souvenirs in the history of Counter Strike They first appeared in 2013 during DreamHack Winter and immediately gained a lot of popularity. There are two ways to obtain such skins in CS2 - opening souvenirs that we receive for completing tasks in Pick'Em Challenge during Major or buying them on the Steam market (or side markets).
Watching old Counter Strike tournaments, checking every now and then to see if Cobblestone appeared in your inventory... Those were the days. Today, however, we are slowly heading towards the end of 2024. Maybe it would be worth getting yourself a souvenir from this year? In this article, we will show you some really interesting skins - "souvenirs" to consider as a potential purchase at the end of this year.
M4A4 - Eye of Horus
This skin appeared in the game April 24, 2023 as part of the collection Anubis (update "The Anubis Collection"). This skin was inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology. The main element of the decoration is the image of a falcon in flight, symbolizing the Egyptian sun god Ra. The rest of the weapons are covered with colorful patterns and motifs on a light, beige background. The whole is complemented by gold accents and details with a convex texture. Souvenir price in stock Field-Tested starts to 300 USD, and in the state Minimal-Wear even reaches the ceiling 600 USD!.
Tec-9 | Nuclear Threat
This skin comes from the collection Nuke, which has been added August 14, 2013. Its design is impressive mainly because it differs from its competitors - the weapon has green symbols warning against radioactive danger. The green colors give it a menacing, even slightly terrifying appearance, as if the weapon was located right next to a nuclear reactor. If you want an interesting addition to your equipment, or maybe a skin for pistol pistols, this skin will be a great choice. However, it is not the cheapest offer because it is too expensive Field-Tested you have to pay over 90 USD…
MAC-10 | Candy Apple
Can we call it a classic? Of course, in a moment we will get to the price and someone will ask “HOW MUCH?” Maybe let's start with the story first! It has been added November 27, 2013 as part of the collection Train, which was released with the update „Out with old, in with the new”. Do I need to explain the name and what guided the author when creating this miracle? "Great on cars, better on guns" - no need to say more. No, but you have to. PRICE! Well, for connoisseurs, for such a MAC in this price range Factory-New the price is 10 USD. Not much compared to its predecessors. However, if we look at the version without stickers - the price is worth paying attention to! 25 CENTS!
Galil AR | Cerberus
This skin has been added to the game August 8, 2014 as part of the collection Cache, which was released with the update "Cologne 2014". Maybe it's not entirely popular to buy a skin for Galil, but if you do... it's one of my favorites. The central part of the weapon is decorated with an image of a three-headed man Cerbera with burning eyes. The image of Cerberus and individual parts of the rifle are made in colors using black and various shades of green. Price of this skin in stock Field-Tested as a souvenir it 45 USD.
USP-S | Purple DDPAT
This purple beauty has appeared within Operation Riptide in August 2021. The price is definitely more affordable compared to its predecessors (even its pistol counterparts). If you are looking for a skin to complement your purple set or you are a fan of the series DDPAT will be the perfect choice. The cost, as we mentioned, is really interesting. Why? Condition Factory-New as a souvenir it costs money 7 USD. How much does a regular, non-commemorative one cost? ALMOST 20 USD! This only proves how wonderful and original this design is, and stickers don't have to help...
This is our list of interesting and, in our opinion, really nice souvenir skins. We deliberately did not choose only the most expensive skins to make you realize what gems are hidden in these Souvenirs. These are associated with high prices but there will definitely be people with more limited funds willing to buy such a USP-S or MAC!
