CS2 Skins and Items Best Sellers in 2024 (By Purchases on DMarket)
Counter-Strike 2 had some pretty big changes in 2024. Some of them were gameplay-related, from the addition of Train to substantial adjustments to the in-game economy. Other game updates brought us awesome cosmetics, like the first-ever skins for Zeus x27, and brand new item type, charms.
The community is hyped about the esports dimension, with many CS2 esports events happening all over the world this year. And players are so excited about the skins trading market!
CS2 is traditionally a leader on DMarket, in terms of item offers and the number of transactions. In this article, we share the stats from 2024. Check out the best-selling CS2 skins and items by purchases on our platform.
CS2 Items by Purchases
The vast variety of items in Counter-Strike 2 can be divided into two categories. Skins are images that players use over the default look of their weapons. Suddenly, disturbingly blank firearm bodies may turn colorful and beautiful to reflect the personality and mood of their owner.
The other category is misc items, which includes everything beyond skins: cases, charms, music kits, etc.

- Weapon skins — 62.7%
- Misc items — 37.3%
It is no surprise to see CS2 weapon skins being more popular. They make items trading within Counter-Strike 2 such a huge industry. In 2024, the market share of skins increased compared to CS2 best sellers in 2023.
As for the misc items, let’s highlight specific purchases in this category.
- Cases/Keys—14%
- Stickers—12.4%
- Agents—2.7%
- Gloves—2.4%
- Capsules—2%
- Pins/Patches/Passes/Others—1.6%
- Packages—0.7%
- Music kits—0.7%
- Graffiti—0.4%
- Charms—0.4%
A couple of things are worth noting here. There was a significant decrease in transactions with Capsules last year: it was 12.4% in 2023. Some of the rarest CS2 items, Gloves, got a boost in popularity: from 0.7% in 2023.
CS2 charms were introduced in October 2024, and their share within the misc items is quite impressive for this brief period.
Weapons by Purchases

- Pistols — 30.7%
- Rifles — 28.2%
- SMG — 14.8%
- Sniper rifles — 10.4%
- Knives — 7.7%
- Shotguns — 6.4%
- Machine guns — 1.8%
The most universally effective CS2 weapons are on the top. All players use pistols, at least in the opening round of a match. Rifles are great in so many situations, so getting skins for them is a common choice for Counter-Strike 2 players.
Compared to the previous year, we can notice the popularity boost for CS2 knives. Perhaps many gamers decided to fulfill their dream of playing with a cool knife. Such unique items seem to be a decent investment for traders.
Weapon Exteriors by Purchases

- Field-Tested — 38.2%
- Minimal Wear — 22.5%
- Factory New — 19.5%
- Well-Worn — 10.2%
- Battle-Scarred — 9.6%
The tendency of Field-Tested CS2 skins being the most popular is here to stay. Some gamers don’t see some scratches on their weapons as a crucial factor, but exteriors with them can be significantly cheaper. The other numbers have remained stable throughout the years.
The exterior condition depends on the Float Value of Counter-Strike skins. We have a detailed guide on this topic.
Top Pistol Skins By Purchases

Top Pistol Skins | Starting Price |
---|---|
Desert Eagle | Printstream | $23.62 |
USP-S | Ticket to Hell | $0.47 |
Glock-18 | Vogue | $2.48 |
Desert Eagle | Mecha Industries |
$3.78 |
Glock-18 | Water Elemental |
$3.60 |
In a way, Desert Eagle | Printstream has a minimalistic style, and it speaks of efficiency in Counter-Strike matches. It was the most popular CS2 pistol skin on DMarket in 2024. The gun itself is a hype among players, even if it requires good skills. We have two Desert Eagles on this list, and Mecha Industries brings similar aesthetics.
USP-S | Ticket to Hell made it to the top five best sellers again. Other skins are new here, but the skins for USP-S and Glock-18 are rather traditional. These are spawn pistols for CT and T teams respectively, so many players want to have skins for them.
Top SMG Skins By Purchases

Top SMG Skins | Starting Price |
---|---|
MP9 | Starlight Protector | $2.24 |
MP9 | Food Chain | $1.62 |
P90 | Neoqueen | $0.32 |
MAC-10 | Light Box |
$0.06 |
MP9 | Featherweight |
$0.05 |
The submachine gun M9 occupies three places among the top five best-selling SMG skins on DMarket. This popularity is dictated by the CS2 economy: people need cheap guns for farming rounds, and the M9 is a good choice. Players also buy MAC-10 and P90 for the same purpose.
MP9 | Starlight Protector combines a minimalistic weaponry style and a splash of colors with unicorn art. The others are not too far from the leader in terms of percentages. Food Chain is a fantastic extravaganza, while Featherweight is rather a military gun. It’s safe to say that the style of popular CS2 skins is often unpredictable.
Top Rifle Skins By Purchases

Top Rifle Skins | Starting Price |
---|---|
AK-47 | Slate | $2.64 |
M4A1-S | Night Terror | $0.42 |
M4A1-S | Black Lotus | $9.02 |
AK-47 | Ice Coaled |
$4.11 |
M4A1-S | Emphorosaur-S |
$0.41 |
AK-47 and M4A1-S are the most common choices for Counter-Terrorists and Terrorists respectively. These rifles are perfect for so many in-game situations.
The top-selling skin, AK-47 | Slate, is pure black, which looks nice in the game. The other AK-47 skin among 2024 best sellers is Ice Coaled, which has a bright bluish-green part on the weapon body.
The M4A1-S skins follow the trend of rather dark colors. Considering the small margins between the best-selling rifles, you may be interested in other popular CS2 skins for M4A1-S.
Top Sniper Rifle Skins By Purchases

Top Sniper Rifle Skins | Starting Price |
---|---|
AWP | Atheris | $2.86 |
AWP | Duality | $1.59 |
AWP | Neo-Noir | $20.38 |
AWP | Black Nile |
$1.79 |
SSG 08 | Fever Dream |
$0.45 |
Players need to have pretty good skills to be effective with sniper rifles: like great knowledge of CS2 maps to choose the best positions. Therefore, this type of in-game weapon is somewhat niche.
The AWP understandably dominates the list of best sellers, considering its one shot potential. It’s often enough for a kill, but delivering that accurate shot still can be a problem. AWP | Atheris looks dangerous with an obviously poisonous snake on it. This skin is the sales leader. The Duality and Neo-Noir skins are quite artistic.
The SSG 08 is a good alternative to the AWP, which is why the gun made it to the top CS2 sniper rifle skins. SSG 08 | Fever Dream is filled with graffiti extravaganza.
Top Shotgun Skins By Purchases

Top Shotgun Skins | Starting Price |
---|---|
MAG-7 | Monster Call | $0.27 |
MAG-7 | Insomnia | $0.08 |
XM1014 | Zombie Offensive | $0.29 |
Nova | Dark Sigil |
$0.07 |
XXM1014 | Irezumi |
$0.08 |
The MAG-7 pretty much represents the essence of shotguns in Counter-Strike 2. It kills from one shot but only at very close range. The weapon brings a nice money reward, but players should be skilled enough to come close to their opponents and make that shot. All the CS2 shotguns follow this principle.
MAG-7 | Monster Call has fun creatures on the weapon body. MAG-7 | Insomnia contains a somewhat disturbing combo of shade and images.
XM1014 | Zombie Offensive is bright and colorful, while the two other best-selling skins in this category have a classic weaponry style.
Top Machine Gun Skins By Purchases

Top Machine Gun Skins | Starting Price |
---|---|
Negev | Drop Me | $0.08 |
M249 | Downtown | $0.32 |
Negev | Ultralight | $0.08 |
Negev | dev_texture |
$0.31 |
M249 | O.S.I.P.R. |
$0.13 |
Machine guns in Counter-Strike 2 look effective only at first sight. Casual players may enjoy the feeling of shooting bullet streams, but pros usually avoid this costly weapon that slows down movement. Still, machine gun skins have their buyers on DMarket. They may be used in non-competitive CS2 game modes—for extra fun.
Negev | Drop Me is quite impressive with its rusty parts and the red Stop sign. M249 | Downtown has graffiti-like images: they are pretty bright. Negev | Ultralight speaks of shooting efficiency.
Top Knife Skins By Purchases

Top Knife Skins | Starting Price |
---|---|
Bayonet | Doppler | $587.99 |
Huntsman Knife | Black Laminate | $116.68 |
Talon Knife | Damascus Steel | $399.00 |
Bowie Knife | Lore |
$130.76 |
Bowie Knife | Autotronic |
$147.65 |
It’s a glorious achievement to deliver a kill with a knife in CS2. Everyone in the match should be impressed! That’s why gamers are ready to pay big money to buy knives—but only after they become confident with their skills.
Bayonet | Doppler combines an impressive knife and one of the most iconic color patterns. You may be interested in our guide on Doppler phases in Counter-Strike.
The Huntsman Knife is huge and looks great in the game. The Talon Knife applies an aggressive offense with its curved blade, and the Damascus Steel skin is simply beautiful.
Bowie Knife | Lore has gorgeous details on the golden blade. Bowie Knife | Autotronic attracts players with its deep red metal.
Top Cases By Purchases

Top Cases | Starting Price |
---|---|
Dreams & Nightmares Case | $1.53 |
Kilowatt Case | $0.61 |
Revolution Case | $0.99 |
Fracture Case |
$0.44 |
Recoil Case |
$0.31 |
CS2 cases put players in a high-risk, high-reward situation. A key is needed to open one: it also costs money. A case may drop rare and expensive skins, but more often, people receive something cheap and common.
The Dreams & Nightmares Case is the best seller. It contains some of the most fantastic skins in the entire CS2 collection. Kilowatt Case is one of the newest; it was released in February 2024. Revolution Case is filled with colorful skins. Fracture Case and Recoil Case are also among the best CS2 cases to buy.
Top Capsules By Purchases

Top Capsules | Starting Price |
---|---|
Paris 2023 Contenders Sticker Capsule | $0.14 |

Paris 2023 Legends Sticker Capsule | $0.14 |
Copenhagen 2024 Challengers Sticker Capsule |
$0.27 |
Copenhagen 2024 Legends Autograph Capsule |
$0.52 |
Most of the sticker capsules on the list of best-selling items on DMarket are connected to CS2 esports events from 2024, and specifically to PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. People buy them and hope to get stickers of Natus Vincere, the tournament winners.
Also, two capsules are connected to BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, the last CS:GO major. Soon after that, the competition moved to Counter-Strike 2.
Top Packages By Purchases

---|---|
Paris 2023 Mirage Souvenir Package | $2.74 |

Copenhagen 2024 Mirage Souvenir Package | $2.68 |
Paris 2023 Anubis Souvenir Package |
$2.26 |
Paris 2023 Overpass Souvenir Package |
$2.45 |
The set of best-selling souvenir packages in 2024 takes us to the competitive past of Counter-Strike—to the events in 2022 and 2023, when we still played CS:GO. Only the Copenhagen 2024 Mirage Souvenir Package breaks this trend.
A great thing about CS2 packages is that you don’t need a key to open one. The possible drops include items from the entire skins collection, and they already have stickers.
It is pretty interesting that the Copenhagen 2024 and Paris 2023 packages contain the same 2021 Mirage Collection.
Such containers are rare, as they only drop during big esports tournaments. Sure, you can buy CS2 packages on DMarket any time after that.
Top Agents by Purchases

Top Agents | Starting Price |
---|---|
Lt. Commander Ricksaw | NSWC SEAL | $11.22 |

Special Agent Ava | FBI | $14.51 |
Number K | The Professionals |
$43.67 |
Sir Bloody Silent Darryl | The Professionals |
$27.80 |
The most purchasable character skin in 2024 was Lt. Commander Ricksaw | NSWC SEAL. This CS2 Agent has the highest rarity level, Master.
Michael Syfers | FBI Sniper brings the vibes of accurate long-range shots. Special Agent Ava | FBI nicely complements a team with that guy.
What about the badass images? We have two Professionals: Number K and Sir Bloody Silent Darryl. Terrorist teams may get an emotional boost from such teammates!

Driver Gloves | Rezan the Red | $92.28 |
Broken Fang Gloves | Unhinged | $79.00 |
Sport Gloves | Scarlet Shamagh |
$231.53 |
Driver Gloves | Overtake |
$81.07 |
CS2 gloves belong to the same category as skins: exceedingly rare. You will be extremely lucky to get these items from a case. Purchasing gloves on DMarket is a more reliable option, so many gamers go for it.
Bright purple makes Driver Gloves | Imperial Plaid pretty awesome and quite popular. The Rezan the Red variant has real-world racing vibes. Broken Fang Gloves | Unhinged impress with the snakeskin elements.
Having three Driver Gloves on our list of CS2 best sellers nicely reveals the community’s preferences—at least in 2024.
Top Regular Stickers by Purchases

Top Regular Stickers | Starting Price |
---|---|
Sticker | Battle Scarred (Holo) | $6.55 |
Sticker | Drug War Veteran | $0.87 |
Sticker | Gold Web (Foil) | $2.70 |
Sticker | AKickflip-47 |
$0.16 |
Sticker | Blue Gem (Glitter) |
$3.15 |
Counter-Strike 2 has a huge variety of stickers. They can be attached to weapon skins to change the general atmosphere or add some unique features. Due to the number of possible purchases, no single CS2 sticker took a big percentage of sales.
Those that made it to the top five best sellers are pretty remarkable. Battle Scarred adds traces of a predator’s attack. Drug War Veteran has a hemp leaf on it. Gold Web is a beautiful spider, which looks even better with the Foil version. AKickflip-47 has an image of a surfer on an AK-47—is this a reference to CS2 surfing? Blue Gem is literally a diamond, and it hints at the most expensive CS2 skin.
Top Tournament Stickers by Purchases

Top Tournament Stickers | Starting Price |
---|---|
Sticker | Ninjas in Pyjamas | Stockholm 2021 | $0.03 |
Sticker | Fluxo (Holo) | Paris 2023 | $0.89 |
Sticker | MOUZ (Holo) | Paris 2023 | $1.68 |
Sticker | MOUZ (Glitter) | Paris 2023 |
$0.16 |
Sticker | Natus Vincere (Holo) | Paris 2023 |
$1.39 |
Most of the best-selling CS2 tournament stickers are from BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. The last CS:GO tournament was really impactful!
MOUZ couldn’t advance to the playoffs of that event, but two stickers in the top five are from this team. The situation with NAVI is similar. It is super unusual for Fluxo to play at an S-tier event, so this may have boosted the sticker’s popularity.
Ninjas in Pyjamas finished PGL Major Stockholm 2021 5th–8th. Their sticker was the most popular tournament sticker on DMarket in 2024. That was a tournament when dev1ce played for NiP.
Top Graffiti by Purchases

Top Graffitis | Starting Price |
---|---|
Sealed Graffiti | 8-Ball (Shark White) | $0.13 |

Sealed Graffiti | Sheriff (Battle Green) | $0.10 |
Sealed Graffiti | Welcome to the Clutch |
$0.79 |
Sealed Graffiti | Guardian |
$0.32 |
Graffitis in Counter-Strike 2 are kind of consumables. Players leave them on the game map, but the visual details remain only for that match.
8-Ball (Shark White) is literally an image of the 8 billiard ball. Heart (Brick Red) may look sentimental even on a CS2 wall. With Sheriff (Battle Green), players paint a sheriff hat. Welcome to the Clutch may motivate teammates to perform a comeback—or add some pressure on opponents. Master Guardian is the logo of the Counter-Terrorist team.

Music Kit | Knock2, dashstar* | $10.50 |

The top five music kits in our stats of CS2 best sellers nicely reflect what is currently popular in the community. In 2024, some new tracks made it to the top, compared to the previous year: Knock2—dashstar*, and TWERL and Ekko & Sidetrack—Under Bright Lights.
Songs such as EZ4ENCE by The Verkkars, u mad! by bbno$, and Ultimate by Denzel Curry are great classics at this point. They are part of our selection: the best music kits in CS2.

Charm | Backsplash |
$0.22 |
Charm | Stitch-Loaded |
$0.25 |
All the most popular CS2 charms on DMarket in 2024 belong to the Small Arms Charm Collection. Basically, they are little copies of proper Counter-Strike 2 weapons. The players probably enjoy having Baby’s AK on their full-scale AK-47—maybe even with one of the best-selling rifle skins.
Seeing Pocket AWP and Whittle Knife among the top five charms is also logical, as these are iconic CS2 weapons. Stitch-Loaded represents the USP-S. Backsplash is a funny version of the MAC-10.
Checking out the best-selling CS2 skins and items in 2024 may be helpful for both gamers and traders to understand the community’s trends.
