The Absolute Best Five-SeveN Skins in CS2

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, it’s a popular CT-side pistol in Counter-Strike 2 with plenty of great finishes, which is why we’ll be presenting a list of the 8 best CS2 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 pistols 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.

It was initially introduced to Global Offensive in 2019 with the “Seeing the Light” update.

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.

Five-SeveN Forest Night

Five-SeveN | Forest Night from $0.10Check price

Forest Night first appeared in Counter-Strike in 2013 as part of the Train Collection, which was available through Train souvenir packages. 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.

Instead, it has a seemingly simple geometric design that combines gray with neon green and yellow. It first appeared in Global Offensive in 2015 with the “Operation Bloodhound” update. In Counter-Strike 2, it’s still one of the most unique skins for this pistol.

It started as a community-made Steam Workshop design. 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 in CS2 (it’s unfortunately very expensive), you should definitely do so.

This skin was introduced in 2014 with the CS:GO Weapon Case 3.
