This list ranks the most expensive USP-S skins in CS2 by the highest price of each skin on SkinsMonkey, checked on 31 October 2026. Out of the 45 finishes in all USP-S skins on our WIKI, the most expensive is the USP-S | Whiteout at $536.00 in Factory New, and thirteen skins cost more than $100 in their best wear. All prices are for normal copies, not StatTrak or Souvenir.
Rarity does not decide the top of this list. Only four of the ten most expensive USP-S skins are Covert, and the top two are Classified skins from collections that no case drops. Most of these prices also only apply to Factory New: the same Whiteout costs $47.21 in Battle-Scarred. Below we go through the list in price groups and explain what makes each skin expensive.
How We Ranked the Most Expensive USP-S Skins
The ranking uses the highest price of each skin on SkinsMonkey, which for 44 of the 45 USP-S skins is the Factory New price. The exception is the Dark Water, which has no Factory New copy at all. Prices were checked on 31 October 2026 and change with the market. A few skins near the top had only a handful of copies listed that day, and for those the prices of some wears are reference prices from the item page, which we say where it matters.
The USP-S was added in the Arms Deal update in 2013, and its 45 skins come from three kinds of source. Of those, 24 drop from a weapon case (or, for the Silent Shot, the Sealed Dead Hand Terminal), nine are only listed in packages, mostly Souvenir packages from Majors, and twelve belong to collections for which our WIKI lists no case or package at all. That last group matters here, because it includes the two most expensive USP-S skins.
Our video shows every USP-S skin in game with the price range of each one on screen, so you can see what the expensive finishes look like before you read why they cost that much.
Over $400: Whiteout and Target Acquired
The two most expensive USP-S skins are both Classified, one grade below Covert, and neither drops from a case. The Whiteout belongs to the 2021 Train Collection and the Target Acquired to the Control Collection, and our WIKI lists no case or package for either, so you cannot open one.
USP-S | Whiteout
- Wear in the ranking
- Factory New
- Price on Oct 31
- $536.00
- From today
- $47.41
The most expensive USP-S on SkinsMonkey. Plain white over the whole gun, which is why the Factory New copy costs so much: every scratch shows on white, so the clean copy is the one players want. Factory New costs $536.00, more than five times the $97.10 of Minimal Wear, while Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred all cost between $47.21 and $48.74. SkinsMonkey listed 17 copies on 31 October.
- USP-S | Target Acquired, $422.76 in Factory New and $228.03 in Battle-Scarred, from the Control Collection. A pink comic-style finish, and the only USP-S that costs more than $200 in every wear. SkinsMonkey had just two copies listed for trade on 31 October, both from $422.76, so the prices of the lower wears are reference prices from the item page.

$150 to $310: Kill Confirmed, Road Rash and Neo-Noir
The next three show three different reasons for a high price: a Covert case skin with a big gap between wears, a Restricted skin that our WIKI only lists in Souvenir packages, and a Covert skin that costs about the same in every wear.
USP-S | Kill Confirmed
- Wear in the ranking
- Factory New
- Price on Oct 31
- $301.26
- From today
- $78.43
The most expensive Covert USP-S. A skull on the slide and a bullet trail along the silencer, all over red. It drops from the Shadow Case, where Covert is the top weapon grade. Factory New costs $301.26, more than twice the $137.77 of Minimal Wear, and Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred cost almost the same at $79.08 and $79.01. With 45 copies listed on 31 October it is the easiest of the top three to find.
- USP-S | Road Rash, $178.87 in Factory New and $41.27 in Battle-Scarred. The most expensive Restricted USP-S. Our WIKI lists no case for it, only the Overpass Souvenir packages from ESL One Cologne 2014 to Copenhagen 2024, and SkinsMonkey had six copies listed on 31 October. Below Factory New the price drops fast: Minimal Wear costs $65.73.
- USP-S | Neo-Noir, $151.50 in Factory New, from the Spectrum Case. A stylized face in pink, blue and magenta lines. Every wear costs between $138.92 and $151.50, so Factory New is only about 9% above the cheapest copy, the smallest gap of any USP-S. Battle-Scarred at $140.52 even costs more than Field-Tested and Well-Worn.
$100 to $140: Factory New Copies of Cheaper Skins
From here down, the list is mostly skins that are cheap in worn condition and only reach three figures in Factory New. Eight more USP-S skins cost over $100 in their best wear, and two of them are Mil-Spec, the lowest grade in a weapon case.
USP-S | Blueprint
- Wear in the ranking
- Factory New
- Price on Oct 31
- $127.26
- From today
- $5.01
The biggest jump between wears of any USP-S over $100. A Mil-Spec skin from the Operation Hydra Case. Battle-Scarred costs $4.88, Field-Tested $5.04 and Minimal Wear $13.54, but Factory New costs $127.26, 26 times the cheapest copy. If you like the design and not the float, Field-Tested gets you the same skin for about five dollars.
- USP-S | Business Class, $137.46 in Factory New. A copper slide and a brown leather grip, from the Baggage Collection, another collection with no case on our WIKI. Battle-Scarred at $50.90 costs more than Well-Worn at $49.78.
- USP-S | Overgrowth, $125.79 in Factory New, from the Operation Bravo Case. Green and yellow jungle camo. Minimal Wear costs $31.95, and the three worn wears are within 10 cents of each other.
- USP-S | The Traitor, $123.97 in Factory New, a Covert skin from the Snakebite Case. Red and blue with gold detail. Minimal Wear costs $68.62.
- USP-S | Printstream, $120.79 in Factory New, the Covert USP-S from the Recoil Case. White with black print blocks. It had 256 copies listed on 31 October, by far the most of any USP-S over $100.
- USP-S | Royal Blue, $110.72 in Factory New. Deep blue over the whole gun, Industrial Grade, and only listed in Cobblestone Souvenir packages; the last of them on our WIKI is from Boston 2018. Field-Tested costs $9.58, and only two copies were listed on 31 October.
- USP-S | Orion, $110.13 in Factory New, from the Huntsman Collection. It only exists from Factory New to Field-Tested, and our WIKI lists no case that drops it today.
- USP-S | Serum, $101.09 in Factory New, from the CS:GO Weapon Case 2. Red and dark green, and also only from Factory New to Field-Tested, with Minimal Wear and Field-Tested 8 cents apart.

The Highest Starting Prices: USP-S Skins Expensive in Every Wear
Ranking by the cheapest wear gives a different list. A USP-S that costs a lot even in its cheapest wear is expensive because of supply, or because the worn wears do not exist, not because of a clean float. This is the list to read if you want a USP-S that holds a high price whatever copy you look at.
USP-S | Dark Water
- Wear in the ranking
- Minimal Wear
- Price on Oct 31
- $95.62
- From today
- $85.54
One of the original USP-S skins from the Arms Deal update in 2013, from the CS:GO Weapon Case. Black and grey swirls. The Dark Water only exists in Minimal Wear and Field-Tested, so there is no cheap worn copy: Field-Tested costs $85.53, the third highest starting price of any USP-S after the Target Acquired and the Neo-Noir, and Minimal Wear $95.62. SkinsMonkey listed 16 copies on 31 October.

Why These USP-S Skins Cost So Much
On the USP-S, supply and wear explain the price better than rarity. These are the reasons we see in the prices on our WIKI.
- No case to open. The Whiteout, Target Acquired, Business Class and Orion all belong to collections for which our WIKI lists no case, and all four cost more than $100 in their best wear.
- Souvenir packages only. The Road Rash and Royal Blue are only listed in Souvenir packages, and both had very few normal copies listed: six and two on 31 October.
- Missing wears. The Dark Water only comes in Minimal Wear and Field-Tested, and the Orion and Serum stop at Field-Tested, so none of them has a cheap Battle-Scarred copy.
- White in Factory New. White and light finishes show every scratch, so the clean copy carries a large premium: a Factory New Whiteout costs 11 times a Field-Tested one.
- Rarity matters less than you would expect. The Covert Printstream starts at $41.60, and the Mil-Spec Blueprint costs more in Factory New than the Covert Printstream does.

Does Wear Matter on Expensive USP-S Skins
A lot, but mostly at the top. On most USP-S skins the three worn wears cost about the same, and the whole price jump sits in Factory New and sometimes Minimal Wear. If you want one of these skins for how it looks, Field-Tested or Minimal Wear gives you the same design for a fraction of the Factory New price, and on the darker finishes the difference is hard to see in game. Our list of the best USP-S skins names the wear we would buy for each skin, and the cheapest USP-S skins start at 10 cents. Our guide to CS2 wear levels has the float ranges.

How to Get an Expensive USP-S
Most USP-S skins drop from a case, but opening cases for one specific skin in one specific wear is a long shot, and for four of the skins over $100 our WIKI lists no case at all. Trade-up contracts are another route for some of them, and our CS2 trade-up guide explains how they work. Our list of the best CS2 cases to open shows what each case holds.
If you want one USP-S in one wear, trading is the direct way. On SkinsMonkey you log in through Steam, add skins from your inventory, pick the USP-S and the bot sends the trade offer, and you can check the float of each copy before you trade. If you want to know what your inventory is worth first, our CS2 Inventory Value Checker shows it in about a minute. If you care more about looks than price, see our picks of the best USP-S skins in four budgets, and for the other end of the market, the cheapest USP-S skins.

Bottom line
Whiteout is the most expensive USP-S, Kill Confirmed the most expensive Covert
The most expensive USP-S skin in CS2 is the Whiteout, at $536.00 in Factory New on SkinsMonkey on 31 October 2026. The Target Acquired follows at $422.76, and it is also the USP-S with the highest starting price, $228.03 in Battle-Scarred. Both come from collections with no case on our WIKI.
The Kill Confirmed at $301.26 is the most expensive Covert USP-S. Below the top five, most of the list is ranked by Factory New prices that are at least twice what a worn copy costs, so if you buy for looks, a cleaner wear one step down saves most of the money.
