Zeus | Olympus
This is the main sensation for all Counter-Strike fans and lovers of shocking opponents in every sense of the word, as well as an incredibly chic and symbolic performance of the “The Kilowatt” case. This first-ever Zeus skin is incredibly aesthetically pleasing and, of course, matches the weapon. The body of the shocker is marked with the ancient Greek god of thunder and lightning – Zeus, who seems to have been created by a Renaissance artist. This beautiful skin with symbolic electric discharges in blue tones costs between $27 and $268. It’s not at all surprising, but one of the first Olympus owners was Kirill Boombl4 Mikhailov from Cloud9.
Kukri Knife | Fade
One of the most controversial, but most diverse and expensive items in the new case is the Kukri Knife. This is an exclusive with the lowest chance of falling out of the case, it looks special. One of the most striking, elegant, and objectively worthwhile skins on Kukri is Fade. The iridescent Fade shade fits very well on this knife, which means in combination, for example, with AWP | Fade or Glock-18 | Fade such a knife will look incredibly synergistic. Such a miracle costs from $1,900.
AK-47 | Inheritance

This skin was seen in the inventory of ex-Natus Vincere player and now Cloud9 riffler Denis electroNic Sharipov.
M4A1-S | Black Lotus
Nothing is more impressive than the flowers that bloom beautifully on one of the most popular rifles in the game. The lotus is a sacred plant and is often associated with spiritual enlightenment, purity, and rebirth, and the dark blue hues give the M4A1-S even more stealth and mystery. It’s funny that on the silencer of the weapon, there is a corresponding inscription: “BLACK LOTUS”, although there is no such inscription on the pistol of the same line of skins. The price of the dark floral skin varies from $54 to $290, and in synergy with USP-S | Black Lotus, this skin looks perfect. By the way, after the release of the new M4A1-S | Black Lotus has appeared in the inventory of Virtus.pro player David n0rb3r7 Danielyan.
AWP | Chrome Cannon
From the outside it may seem that this is an unremarkable AWP skin, having some iridescent shades of different colors. In general, this is true.
In the image, the skin is not colorful, rich colors, or elegant designs, which is why it is inferior to other skins from the case. But in fact, this is a holographic skin and the AWP looks completely different in the game. It looks incredibly stylish, and the appearance of the AWP changes depending on the pattern and quality. By the way, the first owner of such a skin was pro player Robin ropz Cool from FaZe Clan. The Factory New version of the Chrome Cannon skin can cost up to $155.
Glock-18 | Block-18
There are many LEGO fans among CS2 players, so Valve decided to please players with a skin for the Glock-18 in this theme. The cute Glock-18, as if assembled from a Lego set, will perfectly complement any player’s inventory. The most expensive version of this skin costs over $48, but the most budget version will cost you only $4. Judging by the players’ inventories, one of the LEGO fans is GamerLegion player Janusz Snax Pogorzelski.
