CS2 Blue Loadout: Best Inventory and Budget Blue Skins Under $20

In Counter-Strike 2, it’s common for players and skin collectors to look to keep their inventory visually cohesive, often sticking to one specific color for their skins. A CS2 blue loadout is amongst the most common, with tons of options to choose from for each weapon, even for those working on a budget.

I’ve taken a look at all the best blue CS2 skins in the game, and collated an awesome inventory for you to use. Every skin in this CS2 blue loadout costs $20 or less, so you’ll never spend too much putting your collection together if you follow this guide.

AK-47 Blue Laminate (Minimal Wear)

• AK-47 Blue Laminate Price (Minimal Wear): $14
• Release Date: December 18th, 2013
• Case: eSports 2013 Winter Case

There are a few good options for the blue CS2 AK-47 spot. The Ice Coaled is one idea, for example. However, in our CS2 blue loadout, the AK-47 Blue Laminate takes the prize. Released back in 2013, this is a real back-to-basics choice, keeping things subtle and avoiding the over-the-top nature seen with many blue CS2 skins. $14 in Minimal Wear is a great selling point.

M4A1-S Decimator (Field-Tested)

• M4A1-S Decimator Price (Field-Tested): $15
• Release Date: March 15th, 2017
• Case: Spectrum Case

Blue and purple make a good combo on the M4A1-S Decimator. You can spend a lot of money on this futuristic skin, but if you compromise on wear rating and go Field-Tested, it should only cost around $15. Your CS2 blue loadout needs this rifle on the CT side.

M4A4 Spider Lily (Minimal Wear)

• M4A4 Spider Lily Price (Minimal Wear): $12
• Release Date: September 21st, 2021
• Case: Operation Riptide Case

Why not go for both M4s in your blue CS2 inventory? The M4A4 Spider Lily is another great choice, with bold reds and gold highlights a surprisingly good mix for the overall blue hue of this skin. The Minimal Wear version costs just $12, making it the best option for a budget CS2 blue loadout.

Glock-18 Off World (Factory New)

• Glock-18 Off World Price (Factory New): $0.80
• Release Date: September 14th, 2017
• Case: Spectrum 2 Case

Rough and ready, it’s the Glock-18 Off World. In truth, I wish there were a more exciting Glock option in the CS2 blue loadout, but in the absence of that, you can go cheap at $0.80 Factory New. It still suits the theme perfectly and should fit right in with the rest of your blue CS2 inventory.

USP-S Royal Guard (Minimal Wear)

• USP-S Royal Guard Price (Minimal Wear): $15
• Release Date: March 31st, 2025
• Case: None (Weekly Drop reward)

The USP-S Royal Guard is the King of the blue CS2 pistols. It’s the very definition of “less is more,” stunning with its sleek design and complementary gold highlights. I love this one, and it might be my favorite skin in the entire CS2 blue loadout. At $15 Minimal Wear, it’s a genuine bargain.

Desert Eagle Blue Ply (Minimal Wear)

• Desert Eagle Blue Ply Price (Minimal Wear): $0.30
• Release Date: March 31st, 2020
• Case: Prisma 2 Case

The Desert Eagle Blue Ply has never really gotten its flowers from the community, but it makes perfect sense as the Deagle of choice in a budget CS2 blue loadout. Flashy? No. But for $0.30 in Minimal Wear, you’re getting a skin that looks like it’d be a Call of Duty headshot unlock circa 2009. Old school vibes.

AWP Atheris (Minimal Wear)

• AWP Atheris Price (Minimal Wear): $7
• Release Date: March 13th, 2019
• Case: Prisma Case

The AWP Atheris toes the line between blue and green – you need to decide if it just qualifies to be part of a blue CS2 inventory. For me, it certainly does, bolstered by the lack of budget blue CS2 AWP skins. Don’t spend too much on this – you should be able to grab it for $7 in Minimal Wear. Not bad for one of the best CS2 AWP skins.

FAMAS Yeti Camo (Minimal Wear)

• FAMAS Yeti Camo Price (Minimal Wear): $3
• Release Date: March 31st, 2025
• Case: None (Weekly Drop reward)

Any CS2 blue loadout has to include a FAMAS, but it’s real rough out there for good options. I’ve gone with the FAMAS Yeti Camo in Minimal Wear at $3. It’s fine. If you’re willing to spend more on a more expensive option, take the Prime Conspiracy or the Waters of Nephthys, but if you’re building a budget blue CS2 inventory, the Yeti Camo is your best bet.

Galil AR Stone Cold (Minimal Wear)

• Galil AR Stone Cold Price (Minimal Wear): $4
• Release Date: September 17th, 2015
• Case: Shadow Case

The Galil AR Stone Cold plays it safe, but it doesn’t need to do anything too crazy. It features a slick metallic design, but it still stands out amongst the budget blue CS2 skins. This should set you back about $4 in Minimal Wear, so it’s not one that will break the bank.

MAC-10 Lapis Gator (Factory New)

• MAC-10 Lapis Gator Price (Factory New): $0.90
• Release Date: February 17th, 2016
• Case: Operation Wildfire Case

The MAC-10 Lapis Gator is a throwback to a bygone era of CS2 skins, a simpler time when designs were much cleaner. The scaly texture and block blue color is a winner for this CS2 blue loadout, and it costs next to nothing in Factory New.

MP5-SD Agent (Minimal Wear)

• MP5-SD Agent Price (Minimal Wear): $1.25
• Release Date: October 18th, 2019
• Case: CS20 Case

I’m easily drawn in with themed Counter-Strike skins, so the MP5-SD Agent is right up my alley. The blue and yellow color combination is very easy on the eye, which is why it’s an obvious pick for an SMG slot in this CS2 blue loadout.

MP9 Cobalt Paisley (Minimal Wear)

• MP9 Cobalt Paisley Price (Minimal Wear): $3
• Release Date: March 31st, 2025
• Case: None (Weekly Drop reward)

If you’re putting together a blue CS2 inventory, then an MP9 Cobalt Paisley is a mandatory bargain at $3 in Minimal Wear. Blue CS2 MP9 skins are usually pretty expensive, but this bucks the trend while containing interesting patterns to boot. CS2 blue loadout enjoyers – add this to your budget inventory.

Dual Berettas Hydro Strike (Minimal Wear)

• Dual Berettas Hydro Strike Price (Minimal Wear): $1.75
• Release Date: October 2nd, 2024
• Case: Gallery Case

There are a few different shades of blue on the Dual Berettas Hydro Strike, but it all still counts. No CS2 blue loadout is complete without putting these lethal water guns in the pistol slot. As I mentioned, any themed blue CS2 skins, and I’m on board.

Tec-9 Ice Cap (Factory New)

• Tec-9 Ice Cap Price (Factory New): $0.75
• Release Date: June 15th, 2016
• Case: Gamma Case

The swinging factor in favor of the Tec-9 Ice Cap in my CS2 blue loadout really was the price. It’s rare you get a skin this clean for as cheap as 75 cents in Factory New. On those Tec-9 ecos, this is the skin you need to show off your blue CS2 inventory.

Five-SeveN Fowl Play (Minimal Wear)

• Five-SeveN Fowl Play Price (Minimal Wear): $6
• Release Date: July 1st, 2014
• Case: Operation Breakout Weapon Case

The Five-SeveN Fowl Play is an odd shade of blue, but it’s blue nonetheless. The $500 CT-side headshot machine has to be in your budget CS2 blue loadout, and this $6 skin is the best way forward. The fascinating feather patterns add some serious visual interest to this one.

Bowie Knife Bright Water (Well-Worn) + Moto Gloves Polygon (Battle-Scarred)

• Bowie Knife Bright Water (WW) and Moto Gloves Polygon (BS) Price: $285 ($120 Knife + $165 Gloves)
• Release Dates: September 21st, 2021 (Knife) + February 14th, 2018 (Gloves)
• Cases: Dreams & Nightmares Case and Operation Riptide Case (Knife) + Clutch Case and Revolution Case (Gloves)

Any great CS2 blue loadout needs a great blue knife and glove combo to complete the look. While you can’t exactly do it for the $20 budget of the rest of the blue CS2 inventory, you can put together a cheap blue knife and glove combo that still looks great. The Bowie Knife Bright Water (Well-Worn) and Moto Gloves Polygon (Battle-Scarred) are the perfect contenders to round out your blue CS2 loadout at a combined $285.
