Best Skins in the CS2 Achroma Collection

The CS2 Achroma collection arrived as part of Premier Season 4, as a new set of weekly drops that players can receive when leveling up. Unlike the Harlequin collection, which launched at the same time, the Achroma collection is focused on black and white CS2 skins, with 19 new options for players to choose from.

You could say that we’re spoiled for choice now with these new skins. To help you find the most interesting ones, I’ve highlighted the best skins in the CS2 Achroma collection you should add to your black-and-white CS2 loadout.

AWP The End

• Quality: Classified

We’re starting off strong with an excellent new AWP option. The AWP The End features stylized artwork that looks hand-painted, with every detail painstakingly considered by its artist. The black highlights almost have a deep blue hue in certain lights, which really makes it stand out against the rest of the CS2 Achroma collection. We’ve never really had a black and white AWP skin in CS2, so this is a very welcome addition.

AK-47 Breakthrough

• Quality: Restricted

There’s an awful lot going on with the AK-47 Breakthrough, featuring sharp design elements that give it an edge. This new CS2 AK skin shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg, making it a great budget option for black and white loadouts. One thing to note about the AK-47 Breakthrough is that it’s pattern-based, so every one will look very different. It’s something to be aware of before you actually commit to a purchase.

Desert Eagle The Daily Deagle

• Quality: Mil-Spec

The Desert Eagle The Daily Deagle looks like it was pulled straight from the pages of a classic noir comic. Although there’s not much going on in terms of design, it makes up for it with a ton of interesting textures across what is a really small weapon skin. I think it’s the perfect Deagle option in the CS2 Achroma collection. Again, this one is pattern-based, affecting the direction all of the textures face on the skin. Try before you buy.

Glock-18 Trace Lock

• Quality: Restricted

The Glock-18 Trace Lock might be my favorite skin in the entire CS2 Achroma collection. This black and white skin has colored tech-themed highlights that add some sci-fi flair, the colors of which change as you move around with the weapon. The various patterns here massively determine how much black and white are on the base of the skin, so you have tons of options for whatever you prefer.

MAC-10 Snow Splash

• Quality: Industrial

Last but not least is the MAC-10 Snow Splash. It certainly lives up to its name. This one’s a pretty clean skin, and when you look at the previous black and white MAC-10 skins in CS2, there was none that had this much style. The Urban DDPAT was the next best thing, and that was released back in 2013, so we’ve only had to wait 13 years for the next best black and white MAC-10 skin to arrive. The fact that it’s an Industrial skin should make it super affordable, too.
