CS2 has special souvenir skins that are different from the regular and StatTrak versions. These skins are created in honor of specific tournaments and contain stickers with tournament, map, and team symbols. They cannot be obtained after matches or through trade-up contracts; they are only available in limited sets. Because of this, souvenir skins are rarer than regular skins and cost more, making them an attractive investment. Since their introduction in 2013, their number has grown to several hundred, and successful sticker combinations can significantly increase their value. Here are a few souvenir skins worth considering.

AWP Dragon Lore

The AWP Dragon Lore is one of the rarest and most expensive guns in CS2, and its history illustrates how the value of a souvenir item can increase. This skin belongs to The Cobblestone collection. Since the Cobblestone card is no longer used in the active mapple, souvenir sets with this skin are no longer replenished despite the number of majors being held. Therefore, the number of Dragon Lore AWPs is limited and the chance of finding one in a case is extremely low.

M4A1-S Imminent Danger

The M4A1-S Imminent Danger is a souvenir skin that can drop from several sets associated with the Vertigo map. Even the regular version of this weapon has a high value, and the souvenir one becomes a real collector's rarity. The case is decorated with bright warning inscriptions, which will certainly make the enemy think before approaching.

M4A4 Eye of Horus

M4A4 Eye of Horus is a relatively new skin from the Anubis collection, which has already gained popularity among players. This skin can be found in the Anubis Collection Package, and in good quality it can cost several hundred dollars. The body of the weapon is decorated with colorful designs inspired by Egyptian mythology.

AK-47 Gold Arabesque

The AK-47 Gold Arabesque is an exception to Valve's rule, who usually don't welcome monochrome skins. This rifle is covered in gold, including the buttstock and forend decorated with a geometric pattern. It looks even more spectacular with gold stickers. The souvenir version, coming from The 2021 Dust II collection sets, can cost hundreds of thousands of rubles.

Tec-9 Nuclear Threat

Tec-9 Nuclear Threat is a souvenir skin that appeared in 2014 and was part of the Nuke collection. Since then, it has been included in eight souvenir sets associated with various majors. Because of this, moderately worn specimens remain affordable as there are quite a few of them available. The body of the weapon is colored in various shades of green, and a brightly colored radiation hazard sign is depicted above the magazine.

Desert Eagle Fennec Fox

The Desert Eagle Fennec Fox is a great choice for those looking for a colorful souvenir skin for CS2 at a more affordable price. This Deagle from The 2021 Mirage collection can be purchased for a few hundred dollars, making it a better option than other souvenir skins. The handle is decorated with oriental ornaments, and the barrel features a funny desert fox looking forward with determination.
