Counter-Strike 2 Galil AR Skins Tier List

If you’re choosing one Galil AR skin to add to your Counter-Strike 2 inventory, there’s one factor above all else you’re going to consider: looks. After all, if you don’t actually like skin, why would you buy it? To put all the Galil AR skins into our Tier List, we’re only going to consider the aesthetic side of it. The S Tier skins here are the must-buys, while the C Tier options are the ones we’d only recommend if you really disagree with our rankings.

For some players, price will be an important factor, too. While we’re not considering it in our rankings, we have made sure to include a guide price you can expect to pay for each skin. There’s no point checking out a skin and falling in love with it, only to find it’s out of your price range. These prices are based on recent Steam Marketplace transactions for the Factory New version of each skin, although it’s essential to be aware that these fluctuate on a daily basis.

S Tier

  • Chromatic Aberration ($12)
  • Eco ($40)
  • Sugar Rush ($75)

A Tier

  • Blue Titanium ($4.50)
  • Chatterbox ($90)
  • Connexion ($1.60)
  • Phoenix Blacklight ($85)
  • Rocket Pop ($8)
  • Signal ($1.80)
  • Stone Cold ($8)
  • Tuxedo ($1.55)

B Tier

  • Amber Fade ($33)
  • Aqua Terrace ($160)
  • Cerberus ($85)
  • Cold Fusion ($0.30)
  • Crimson Tsunami ($5)
  • Destroyer ($0.25)
  • Dusk Ruins ($20)
  • Firefight ($2.80)
  • Kami ($4.50)
  • Orange DDPAT ($45)

C Tier

  • Akoben ($0.65)
  • Black Sand ($0.80)
  • CAUTION! ($75)
  • Default ($0)
  • Hunting Blind ($7.50)
  • Sage Spray ($0.19)
  • Sandstorm ($4)
  • Shattered ($23)
  • Tornado ($17.50)
  • Urban Rubble ($22)
  • Vandal ($2.20)
  • VariCamo ($0.10)
  • Winter Forest ($250)

While you might think some of these CS2 Galil AR skins are a little steep for your taste, remember, these prices are all Factory New. If you decide to purchase a Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, or Battle-Scarred version of each skin, you can bring down the cost dramatically.

The skins will look worse, but you’re paying the premium with a Factory New wear rating. The Galil AR Winter Forest illustrates this perfectly. You’ll need to spend in the realm of $250 to find this skin Factory New, but it sells Battle-Scarred for about $10 on the Steam Marketplace.
