How the Skins Were Selected and What the Prices Mean
In the Caseway Wiki, red is the dominant color in the images of 225 skins, including knives and gloves. That doesn’t mean the whole item is one color: the selection includes combinations with blue, pink, and orange. M4A4 and MAC-10 have the most red finishes among weapons, with 9 each, followed by Desert Eagle with 7.
The selection is based on popular skins by weekly turnover: the total value of sales, not just the number of transactions. This avoids ranking cheap items used in trade-up contracts above others simply because they sell more often. Each price tier includes one pick per weapon; this article shows part of that selection.
The “from” price is the 7-day median Steam sale price for the cheapest regular version with sales during the week, as of October 1, 2026. Prices change. The wear condition for that listing is shown alongside it: the same skin costs more in better wear conditions and as a StatTrak version. So the starting price applies to a specific version, not every item with that name.
- Turnover
- The total value of sales for an item over the selected period; this metric is used to identify popular picks.
- Median
- The middle value among sale prices: half are at or below it, and half are at or above it.
- Battle-Scarred (BS)
- The wear condition that applies to most of the starting prices in this selection.
- Well-Worn (WW)
- The wear condition for the starting price shown here for AK-47 | Bloodsport.
- Field-Tested (FT)
- The wear condition for the starting price shown here for Kukri Knife | Slaughter.
Don’t compare a regular version in one wear condition with a StatTrak version in another as if they were the same listing. Check the version and wear condition first, then compare prices.
Under $5: An M4A4 and Two Pistols



| Skin | Weapon | Rarity | Starting price | Wear | Weekly sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USP-S | Restricted (Restricted) | $1.16 | Battle-Scarred | 3,988 | |
| M4A4 | Restricted | $3.34 | Battle-Scarred | 1,649 | |
| Desert Eagle | Restricted | $0.72 | Battle-Scarred | 5,314 |
USP-S | Bleeding Edge is part of The Radiant Collection, while M4A4 | Evil Daimyo belongs to The Falchion Collection. Both are listed as red only, with no additional shade in the Wiki description. Desert Eagle | Trigger Discipline from The Snakebite Collection combines red and pink; of these three, it has the most weekly sales.
We recommend starting an inexpensive set with an M4A4 and the pistol you actually use. That keeps your color-matched picks relevant to your loadout instead of turning them into a list of every cheap finish available.
$5 to $50: Red AK-47, AWP, and USP-S Skins
| Skin | Weapon | Rarity | Starting price | Wear | Weekly sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AK-47 | Classified (Classified) | $14 | Battle-Scarred | 1,419 | |
| AWP | Covert (Covert) | $40 | Battle-Scarred | 343 | |
| USP-S | Covert | $31 | Battle-Scarred | 413 |
AK-47 | Point Disarray from The Revolver Case Collection combines red and blue. AWP | Wildfire belongs to The CS20 Collection and combines red and orange. USP-S | The Traitor from The Snakebite Collection has no second color listed in the Wiki.
We recommend choosing the weapon first, then deciding whether a second color is acceptable. If you want the most consistently red set, USP-S | The Traitor is the easiest fit by that measure. If another shade is fine, AK-47 | Point Disarray and AWP | Wildfire cover other inventory slots.
Over $50: Bloodsport, Kill Confirmed, and Ghost Protocol
The top price tier features an AK-47 and two pistols. Compare their starting prices with wear condition in mind: the AK-47 is Well-Worn, while both pistols are Battle-Scarred. A higher price alone doesn’t make a finish the better choice for your set.
| Skin | Weapon | Rarity | Starting price | Wear | Weekly sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AK-47 | Covert | $135 | Well-Worn | 190 | |
| USP-S | Covert | $63 | Battle-Scarred | 151 | |
| Glock-18 | Covert | $144 | Battle-Scarred | 52 |
AK-47 | Bloodsport is part of The Spectrum Collection, while Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol belongs to The Spy Tech Collection; both are listed as red. USP-S | Kill Confirmed from The Shadow Collection combines red and brown. All three items are Covert. For a color-matched set, we recommend comparing them primarily by their color combinations.
We’d consider AK-47 | Bloodsport as an alternative to AK-47 | Point Disarray based on their colors: the former is listed as red, while the latter combines red and blue. That gives you a clear reason to compare the two finishes beyond their price tiers.
Red CS2 Knives and Matching Gloves
This knife selection includes two Autotronic finishes and one Slaughter. Red gloves are also included in the Wiki color catalog, but this selection doesn’t list specific glove models or prices to compare. That’s why the table below covers knives only.



| Skin | Type | Rarity | Starting price | Wear | Weekly sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knife | Rare Special Item | $748 | Battle-Scarred | 33 | |
| Knife | Rare Special Item | $103 | Battle-Scarred | 177 | |
| Knife | Rare Special Item | $129 | Field-Tested | 120 |
Butterfly Knife | Autotronic is part of The Breakout Collection, while Falchion Knife | Autotronic belongs to The Falchion Collection. Despite sharing a finish name, their listed colors differ: the first is marked red, while the second is marked red and white. Kukri Knife | Slaughter from The Kilowatt Collection is also marked red.
We recommend comparing knives by model, colors, and price together. Of these three, the Falchion Knife | Autotronic has the lowest starting price, but it also includes white. To find matching gloves, browse the full red catalog and compare the images with your chosen knife.
SkinsHow to Build a Color-Matched Inventory
We’d build a set starting with your primary weapon, then a pistol, followed by a knife and gloves. You don’t need to keep every item in the same price range: an inexpensive M4A4 and a more expensive knife can still meet the same color criteria. Focus on the slots you need and how the shades work together, not on matching prices.
- Choose a finish for your primary weapon. For the AK-47, compare Point Disarray and Bloodsport by color; for the M4A4, this selection includes Evil Daimyo.
- Pick a pistol. The USP-S has options across three price tiers here, while Desert Eagle and Glock-18 each have one.
- Decide whether a second color works for you. The red filter includes combinations with other shades, not just items listed as red alone.
- Compare the knife and gloves by their images, then check the version and wear condition of the items you choose.
Browse all the picks on the red skins page. To filter by price, use the CS2 skins Wiki. This makes it easier to compare the slots you need without sorting through the entire catalog.
Start with a shortlist of the weapons you need and any additional colors you’re willing to include. This narrows the search so you don’t have to browse every red item.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the Most Popular Red Skin in CS2?
By the number of weekly sales across regular versions in all wear conditions, MP5-SD | Picnic leads among red weapon skins. It’s the leader by transaction count; the main selection above is ranked by turnover, so it uses a different measure of popularity.
Which Red Skins Cost Less Than $5?
In this selection, the lowest prices under $5 are for USP-S | Bleeding Edge, M4A4 | Evil Daimyo, and Desert Eagle | Trigger Discipline. All three are Battle-Scarred. The same skin costs more in better wear conditions and as a StatTrak version.
Are There Red Knives and Gloves?
Yes. The Wiki’s red catalog includes both knives and gloves. The knives shown here are Butterfly Knife | Autotronic, Falchion Knife | Autotronic, and Kukri Knife | Slaughter. This selection doesn’t include specific glove models.
How Do I Find All Red Skins?
Browse all red skins in the Wiki. Colors are determined from the item image, so the list also includes finishes with additional shades. If you want a single-color set, compare the images themselves, not just the “red” tag.
