With CS2 a lot of old skins finally got a new refurbished look and an upgrade.
Thanks to the graphic overhaul in general, and of course to the new lovely lighting the game and the skins look quite beautiful now.

Especially some skins, that were not so well received are quite popular now!
Together we will take a look at the AK skins that have had a massive glow-up in Counter-Strike 2.

It is so interesting to see our old and dusty CSGO skins evolve to our new favourite CS2 skins!
Time to pick up your new AK skin!

AK-47 | Cartel

The Cartel skin was not too well received in GO. It had some cult-like followers, but the mainstream called it a “Vanilla Gun”.
But with CS2 its high detail and the skilful carving come to fruition.

Many people now play this old skin that has gotten a new light and lease of life to it. Originally released back in 2015,
it took 8 years to finally gain the height of its popularity that it has now.

Especially for a price of around 15€ in Factory New, and only 6€ in Field-Tested on GamerPay.

AK-47 | Bloodsport

Another great AK is the Bloodsport. If you have a “Red Loadout” you probably have this impressive AK!

Its colour has quite a new shine to it. The red is quite powerful now.
The AK-47 | Bloodsport has always been a well-received skin, but its upgrade has pushed it in popularity.

With a price tag on GamerPay.gg for around 210€ in Factory New and 64€ in Field-Tested it quite has a price to it. But the looks keep up with that! You get for what you pay, an impressive and great Rifle.

AK-47 | The Empress

If you are looking for something very classy, this skin is most definitely for you! Everyone should own or owned an Empress. This skin is just pristine. Its upgrade in CS2 made its colours, especially its golden effects pop even more.

The gold draws attention to it and its darker colours give it a nice frame.
AK-47 | The Empress is not too expensive with a price of 21€ in Field-Tested.
(This skin only gets darker with a higher wear)

AK-47 | Legion of Anubis

If you like mythology or ancient Egypt, you are in for a treat. The very golden and detailed Legion of Anubis also got quite the glow-up in CS2.

Its gold is so magnificent with its theme and symbolism.
What is also amazing is its cost. It is a fairly cheap AK skin for a Covert (red) rarity.

The AK-47 | Legion of Anubis costs you only 5€ in Field-Tested! This is insane for such a good skin.
If you want it in Factory-New it is 15€. It is quite an affordable skin!

AK-47 | Slate

Thanks to the small fixes and tweaks of CS2 to the skin world, the AK Slate also got quite a face lift. Now in Battle-Scarred it does not get these small green pixels anymore (the cause of this was overexposure) that it previously had.

Now, in any condition, it is a very clean, spotless, jet-black Ak-47 skin!

From Factory New for around 5,30€, to only 1 buck in Battle-Scarred, this gun is quite the budget catch over on GamerPay!

Conclusion

We hope that you found a skin you like and that you want to put in your CS2 loadout!
