Counter-Strike 2 USP-S skins Tier List: All CS2 USP-S skins, ranked

Counter-Strike 2‘s USP-S is a staple of any CT-side loadout. It’s by far the best starting pistol in the game, eclipsing both the Glock-18 and P2000 thanks to its accuracy and headshot potential.

The USP-S features a bunch of skins in CS2, which you can obtain via opening cases or buying them from the Steam Marketplace. The average player will reach for a USP-S skin that costs a few dollars at most, but there are options upwards of hundreds of dollars for the real high-rollers out there.

Counter-Strike 2 USP-S Skins Tier List

Just about every Counter-Strike 2 player has the USP-S equipped over the P2000 on the CT side. This means it also has some of the more popular skins on the marketplace, as everyone loves to start off the pistol round with a fresh coat of paint on their weapon.

When ranking this CS2 USP-S skins Tier List, we’re only considering how cool each one looks in-game. This will be the deciding factor for most players scouring the marketplace, so it makes the most sense that aesthetics take priority in these rankings.

Next to each entry on this list is an approximate price for the Factory New versions of each skin, using recent transactions on the Steam Marketplace to estimate how much it would cost you to grab one for yourself. You shouldn’t expect to spend as much as you might on a Counter-Strike 2 rifle skin such as an M4A1-S or AK-47, but not all USP-S skins come cheap. The ever-fluctuating prices mean we won’t use this as a factor to rank the USP-S skins in our Tier List, existing purely as a way for you to see what’s in your price range.
