CSGO Anubis Collection: What You Need to Know
Every time a new element is introduced to Counter Strike, the whole community gets excited. This year has actually been filled with CS-related announcements. Considering the fact that in March Valve released the news of the game’s porting to Source 2, one could even argue that there has been enough hot news for now. What’s more, a new collection (The Revolution Collection) was introduced to the game in February, which included 17 new weapon skins. And while players have been somewhat spoiled by the Counter Strike developer, that hasn’t stopped the company from launching yet another set of items, namely the Anubis collection. Read this article to find out what pieces are included in this exciting new release.
But let’s start with some basics.
What Is the Anubis Collection?
Anubis is the latest CS skin collection, which was introduced to the game on April 25, 2023. The set contains 19 new cosmetic items, all of which refer to ancient Egypt, either by name or appearance (or both). It complements the Bomb Defusal map of the same name.
What Is the Anubis Map?
Anubis is one of the newer maps added to the CS:GO world, as it first appeared in the game in 2020. What makes it particularly interesting is the fact that it was actually created by the community. Its authors (apart from Valve Corporation, of course) are players Roald van der Scheur, jakuza, and jd40.
The theme is Egypt, and the map belongs to the Bomb Defusal type. At first, it was only available in Scrimmage mode, which basically served only as an exercise for actual ranked matches. However, it transitioned to Competitive pretty quickly. Interestingly, Anubis disappeared from the game in 2021, but in 2022, to celebrate CS:GO’s 10th birthday, Valve decided to bring it back. What’s more, it was added to the Active Duty Map pool, which up to that point only one community-created location managed to do – Cache.
What Skins Are Included in the Anubis Collection?
As we already mentioned, the Anubis collection includes 19 skins, which is really quite a lot. You can find each of them down below, but in order for this article not to take up 5 pages of text, we will limit the information about them to just the basics. Let’s start with the most budget-friendly option.
-
AUG || Snakepit
This is the cheapest, but definitely not the least spectacular skin included in the collection. If you are a fan of reptiles, we can guarantee that the predatory snake wrapped around this AUG will be to your liking.
- Flavor Text: Acting on ill intentions
- Lowest Steam Price: $0.02
- Highest Steam Price: $0.10
-
R8 Revolver || Inlay
The R8 revolver always impresses with its classic look, and in this version, it will make any player feel like they’re in a good western movie. It doesn’t necessarily fit the collection’s theme, but it’s certainly a great weapon skin.
- Flavor Text: Opulence in the palm of your hand
- Lowest Steam Price: $0.02
- Highest Steam Price: $0.14
-
XM1014 || Hieroglyph
Unlike the previous entry, this skin completely fits into the collection’s theme which is Egypt. The XM1014 may not be the weapon of choice for many players, but the Hieroglyph skin is worth a try.
- Flavor Text: The moral of the story
- Lowest Steam Price: $0.02
- Highest Steam Price: $0.14
-
MP7 || Sunbaked
Although the hefty price of the MP7 may not be very appealing, fortunately, the Sunbake skin is one of the cheapest in the entire collection. Its design resembles “grooves on a topographical map” and would make a great addition to any inventory.
- Flavor Text: Bleed between the lines
- Lowest Steam Price: $0.02
- Highest Steam Price: $0.13
-
M249 || Submerged
The M249 is a difficult weapon to master and not many CS:GO players opt for it. The Submerged ski, however, is a really interesting piece that was inspired by the desert environment and dunes.
- Flavor Text: “WE’VE BEEN SET UP! THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!”
- Lowest Steam Price: $0.02
- Highest Steam Price: $0.13
-
MAC-10 || Echoing Sands
This is yet another skin on our list that is inspired by desert terrain. This time, however, MAC-10 combines dark colors with gold accents, which makes it really stand out on the Counter Strike maps.
- Flavor Text: “WE’VE BEEN SET UP! THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!”
- Lowest Steam Price: $0.19
- Highest Steam Price: $0.90
-
USP-S || Desert Tactical
The first silenced weapon on our list. Although the name of this USP-S indicates something else, this time the skin has nothing to do with the desert (at least not visually). Its design is classic camouflage, which is guaranteed to appeal to many players.
- Flavor Text: Base models don’t have to be boring
- Lowest Steam Price: $0.19
- Highest Steam Price: $1.01
-
SSG 08 || Azure Glyph
The SSG 08 is described in the game as a “low-damage but highly cost-effective sniper rifle.” In the Azure Glyph version, the weapon impresses with its brilliant blend of the color black and Egyptian hieroglyphic patterns. It is a brilliant item that will fit into any player’s collection.
- Flavor Text: Flood warning
- Lowest Steam Price: $0.19
- Highest Steam Price: $0.93
-
M4A1-S || Mud-Spec
The M4A1-S is one of the most popular sniper rifles in the entire game. Players who are stealth attack enthusiasts always have it in their inventory. The Mud-Spec version is an elegant-looking skin with a camouflage pattern that will appeal to any fan of the classics.
- Flavor Text: Backup has arrived
- Lowest Steam Price: $0.22
- Highest Steam Price: $0.95
-
MAG-7 || Copper Coated
Now, this skin is really something remarkable. Admittedly, its name is an accurate reflection of what it is, but Copper Coated will still surprise you when you first lay your eyes on it. This is an item that should be in every player’s inventory.
- Flavor Text: Backup has arrived
- Lowest Steam Price: $1.00
- Highest Steam Price: $3.91
-
Tec-9 || Mummy’s Rot
Tec-9 is among players’ favorites when it comes to short-range combat. Although the name of this skin is not exactly enticing, if you are looking for something truly Egyptian, Mummy’s Rot is the perfect choice.
- Flavor Text: Keep this under wraps
- Lowest Steam Price: $1.12
- Highest Steam Price: $4.15
-
AK-47 || Steel Delta
The AK-47 is a weapon that needs no introduction. It is the most popular sniper rifle both in the game and in the real world. If you are putting together a collection of all skins for this iconic firearm, be sure to add Steel Delta to it. It is an item inspired by topographical maps, just like Sunbaked.
- Flavor Text: Keep this under wraps
- Lowest Steam Price: $1.79
- Highest Steam Price: $5.39
-
AWP || Black Nile
If you’re a fan of black loadout, you’ve come to the right place. Black Nile is one of the most beautiful dark-themed skins in CS:GO history. Its design resembles the terrain pattern on topographical maps, but combined with silver elements, it makes for a truly sleek-looking item.
- Flavor Text: Bleed between the lines
- Lowest Steam Price: $3.97
- Highest Steam Price: $10.27
-
P90 || ScaraB Rash
The P90 is a fairly intimidating weapon if you’re just getting started with Counter Strike. However, the ScaraB Rush skin is worth taking a look at, no matter what skill level you’re at. It is definitely one of the most unique and ancient-looking items in the collection.
- Flavor Text: Resurrection requires death, and death requires rushing
- Lowest Steam Price: $6.17
- Highest Steam Price: $29.25
-
Nova || Sobek’s Bite
Another very Egyptian-themed item on our list. Sobek’Bite is a beautiful skin, decorated with a classic pattern, incorporating an element reminiscent of the ancient Eye of Horus. It will certainly do a great job on the Anubis map.
- Flavor Text: From the water comes chaos
- Lowest Steam Price: $6.18
- Highest Steam Price: $26.11
-
Glock-18 | Ramese’s Reach
No collection would be complete without a decent Glock-18 skin. Ramese’s Reach is not only decent, but a true work of art, which is decorated with patterns straight from ancient Egypt, and also includes a panorama of the pyramids. If you’re looking for something special, this is it.
- Flavor Text: “My people reach for their Gods, and I am here to connect them”
- Lowest Steam Price: $6.83
- Highest Steam Price: $36.79
-
P250 || Apep’s Curse
Although the P250 is a pretty budget-friendly weapon, Apep’s Curse is the first skin on our list that comes in at a really high price tag. This heavily ancient Egyptian-themed cosmetic item can run you over $200 in the Factory New version.
- Flavor Text: In opposition of Ra
- Lowest Steam Price: $47.36
- Highest Steam Price: $266.85
-
FAMAS | Waters of Nephthys
This skin really stands out from the rest of the collection, and this is mainly due to its color. Waters of Nephthys is a beautiful turquoise item that changes color according to the way light falls on it. It is a one-of-a-kind piece, which unfortunately is also evidenced by its price.
- Flavor Text: Water always wins
- Lowest Steam Price: $51.70
- Highest Steam Price: $288.66
-
M4A4 | Eye of Horus
Virtually every collection contains an obnoxiously expensive skin, and in the case of Anubis, it is the Eye of Horus. This beautiful item can even go for more than $2,000. Nevertheless, we must admit that its design is truly one-of-a-kind, and any player who appears with it in the arena will be an automatic winner.
- Flavor Text: Rise above the rest
- Lowest Steam Price: $278.76
- Highest Steam Price: $2,200.00
