Five-SeveN was never a top choice for pretty much anyone in the Counter Strike community. Admittedly, it had more drawbacks than actual advantages, and on top of that, its price wasn’t very favorable either. However, everything changed with the release of Global Offensive, which managed to change the gun’s in-game image. Today, with the recent launch of Counter Strike 2, we are happy to announce that this extraordinary pistol is once again resurgent, which is why we’ll be presenting a list of the 8 best (CS2) CSGO Five-SeveN skins.
Some Basic Information About the Five-SeveN
Five-SeveN has been featured in many parts of the Counter Strike series, and players have been familiar with it for some time now. In the game, it’s described as “Highly accurate and armor-piercing, the pricy Five-Seven is a slow-loader that compensates with a generous 20-round magazine and forgiving recoil,” which (depending on which version we’re talking about) is pretty accurate.
In truth, no one really invested in it before the arrival of Global Offensive. Back in the day, it was known for its hefty price tag (as much as $750, making it one of the most expensive guns in CS history), and not much to show for it. However, during CS:GO’s run, when Valve decided to be more merciful, they released an update that made the weapon a bit more affordable, as well as more powerful and accurate, which actually improved its reputation among community members. Currently, it is a CT-side exclusive pistol that actually has many avid enthusiasts.
How Does the Five-SeveN Perform in Combat?
As we have already mentioned, Five-SeveN was once known mainly for its extremely low damage and slow reload time. Fortunately, today its status has improved considerably and it is no longer one of the most ineffective weapons in Counter Strike 2. It is now capable of dealing decent damage and offers pretty good armor penetration. In addition, it has a good fire rate of 400 RPM and a magazine of 20. As for reloading, it is still quite slow. However, the extreme accuracy and low recoil make up for it completely.
Top 8 Absolute Best Five-SeveN Skins
Now that you know a lot about Five-SeveN , it’s the right time to introduce you to the best skins for this particular weapon. Also, Counter Strike 2 recently came out, so it’s the perfect opportunity to try out new guns and replenish your inventory with new items. Don’t forget that on SkinsMonkey you can trade CS2 skins seamlessly and at the absolute best prices.
Five-SeveN Angry Mob
The name “Angry Mob” can be a bit misleading, as it is likely to make you think of a very disgruntled mob of people or some gang waiting to beat you up. Well, this Five-SeveN skin is far from that, as its exterior features an epic street art-inspired design that is perfect for any color enthusiast. It was initially introduced to Global Offensive in 2019 with the “Seeing the Light” update. Its creator is a community designer “SHPR.” If you’re looking for a stripped-down item and aren’t afraid to experiment, you’ll definitely need to give it a shot.

Five-SeveN Fairy Tale
Are you a fan of pink equipment? If so, then you need to take a look at Fairy Tale. This adorable item is sure to catch the attention of any CS2 gamer (regardless of whether they are female or male), thanks to its unique design depicting a fairy princess casually hanging out with its unicorn friends. No matter if you like such things or not, you have to admit that this is a very unique piece that can perfectly complement any pink loadout. The Fairy Tale first appeared in Global Offensive with the Operation Broken Fang update in 2020. Its creator is “Rafok.”

Five-SeveN Urban Hazard
After the last two bursts of color, we are coming to you with a more classic option that is sure to delight fans of red loadout in particular. The Urban Hazard skin appeared in Counter Strike along with Operation Vanguard in 2014. Back then it already looked amazing, but it wasn’t until Source 2 that it became a real hit. Its look shines in CS2, and if you want to see for yourself, you should add it to your inventory today.

Five-SeveN Forest Night
Forest Night first appeared in Counter Strike in 2013 as part of the Berlin 2019 Train Souvenir Package. To be honest, it never got the popularity it really deserved, but we still think it’s a great item, especially if you like the classic camouflage look. We know some of you may think it’s boring, but sometimes it’s really worth going for the classics rather than the flashiest weapon finishes. And while Counter Strike 2 seems like the perfect opportunity to experiment with bright neon colors, you can never go wrong with a sleek-looking dark item.

Five-SeveN Neon Kimono
This item is probably one of our all-time favorite CS items, and we’ve covered it many times on our blog. The Five-SeveN Neon Kimono has a beautiful neon finish, but unlike the most popular items in this category, it is not covered in red or blue paint. Instead, it has a seemingly simple design that is a combination of two colors: gray and neon green. It first appeared in Global Offensive in 2015 with the “The Hunter and the Hunted” update. Now, with the release of Counter Strike 2, it’s the perfect opportunity to try out this unique skin.

Five-SeveN Hyper Beast
Hyper Beast skins are very well known in the Counter Strike community, and the Five-SeveN variant may be the most popular of them all. It was originally introduced in 2017 with Operation Hydra. The author is the community designer “frontaLOBE.” As for the design of this item, however, the only way to describe it is as a true work of art, being a beautiful blend of colors, brought together by a unique pattern depicting some kind of monster. Honestly, it’s just amazing and if you have the money to buy it for CS2 ( since it is unfortunately VERY expensive), you should definitely do so.

Five-SeveN Copper Galaxy
Ok. We all know that in Global Offensive the copper/gold skins didn’t exactly look the greatest. Frankly, they were more yellow than anything else. However, we are happy to report that in CS2 the situation is completely different and that Valve has actually listened to everyone’s pleas to improve this part of the game. Now items such as Copper Galaxy are becoming a hit, as their appearance is much better than in previous installments of the game. This particular CS2 (CSGO) skin was introduced in 2014, along with the CS:GO Weapon Case 3 part. It might be a good idea to invest in it today, as it’s very possible that its price will skyrocket very soon.

The colors of this unique skin look totally different under the improved lighting on Source 2 maps (different being better, in this case). If you’re looking for a great option for your Five-SeveN, then this unique weapon finish is the perfect choice for you.
