One of the three starting pistols in Counter-Strike, the USP-S is a gun you’ll be seeing a lot of if you’re going to have it equipped. That’s why we wanted to give you the best USP-S skins so that you can start off your CT rounds in style! 

Best USP-S Skins Under $5

Let’s start with the most modest budgets—you can get a few decent USP-S skins for less than $5: 

USP-S | Cyrex

Price: $1–$3

Simple and cheap, the Cyrex is a great sci-fi skin that works in almost any loadout thanks to its simple, black-red-white colorway. It’s classy, it’s simple, and it works.

USP-S | Ticket to Hell

Price: $0.20–$1.80

This is a fun skin. A black skin covered by a white manual of sorts, it’s quirky, it’s fun, and it’s cheap. Definitely one you need to keep an eye out for.

USP-S | Torque

Price: $0.60–$2

If you’ve watched Formula 1 around 2010, this skin might bring about memories of the legendary Brawn GP with its colorway (and name, those cars have A LOT of Torque). White, black and light green, this is a modern skin that’s really bang for the buck.

If you can spare a little extra cash, consider adding these USP-S skins to your collection: 

USP-S | Cortex

Price: $1.50–$10

One of the best cartoon skins out there, the Cortex allows you to — quite literally — blow someone’s brains out in style, showing… well just that with a gray and pink colorway. A brain… being blown out in stylized fashion.

USP-S | Stainless

Price: $3–$20

Ever wondered what would happen if you crossed a USP over with a stainless-steel pan? Well, thanks to the Stainless, you can wonder no more! It’s simple but effective and shows how sometimes less is more, extremely well.

USP-S | Black Lotus

If you like beautiful art on your pistols, the Black Lotus is a simple representation of a flower on a purple background. This one is a beaut!

Best USP-S Skins for $25–$50

Fifty bucks is a fair bit of money to work with, especially when it comes to the relatively inexpensive USP-S skins. Let’s see what you can get for $25–$50:

USP-S | Neo-Noir

Price: $12–$40

A classic among classics, the Neo-Noir represents one of the best skin collections out there. Based on the titular neo-noir stylistic, it features a detailed artwork in black, white, and a splash of purple that really makes it vibrant and futuristic, despite the old-school inspiration.

USP-S | Blueprint

Price: $4–$40

If you’re looking for blue CS2 skins, it doesn’t get any more blue! The blueprint, inspired by the classic technical drawings, is classy and elegant. If you need some blue in your loadout, this one is perfect for you.

USP-S | Monster Mashup

Price: $15–$42

This skin is very much inspired by graffiti, very colorful and cartoony and features one of the most fun uses of a gun’s parts to make the skin better, as it turns the trigger into the eponymous monster’s tongue. Good choice if you’re looking for green CS2 skins.

Best USP-S Skins for $50–$100

Now we’re getting serious! Here’s the best you’ll get for under $100: 

USP-S | The Traitor

Price: $9–$50

This one is a bit… brutal. Showing a traitor being hung with a snake hanging off the tree, the artwork is detailed and haunting, while the skin itself has a beautiful look. Fun for any red CS2 loadout!

USP-S | Caiman

Price: $40–$60

Ever feel like your gun is looking back at you? Well, the Caiman does just that, showing the eye of the titular lizard, while crafting the rest of its head out of the barrel of the gun.

USP-S | Orange Anolis

Price: around $95

Inspired by lizard scales, this red and gold combo is royal and quite beautiful. A bit more expensive than it perhaps should be, it still presents an interesting choice, especially for reptile lovers!

Best USP-S Skins for $100+

If money’s no object or you’re incredibly fond of using your USP-S, these skins for over $100 (for Factory New) may interest you: 

USP-S | Kill Confirmed

Price: $34–$180

Well, we’re back to blowing brains out. This is even more cartoony and fun than the Cortex, showing a skull being penetrated by a shot to the head. It’s intensely red and over the top… and we absolutely love it, especially if you’re creating a cartoon loadout!

USP-S | Printstream

Price: $25–$116

This one is a banger! Ever since the Printstream first arrived in Counter-Strike, it’s been a staple of awesome skins in the game. Black and white, with a slight opalizing effect and some fantastic futuristic typography, this one is just beautiful and one of our favorite skins in the game!

USP-S | Whiteout

Price: $25–$260

This one is perhaps too expensive for what it is, but hey, if you’re an Apple fan, or if you bought one of those Lego Architecture sets, this is probably for you. It doesn’t get any cleaner than the whiteout. For better or for worse.
