Counter-Strike 2 M4A1-S Skins Tier List
Since the M4A1-S serves as the CT side equivalent of the iconic CS2 AK-47, it is adorned with many of the most sought-after skins in the entire game. When you grace your opponents with a dazzling new M4 skin, they won’t have a clue what’s about to hit them.
We are strictly ranking based on the appearance alone to categorize these M4A1-S skins into distinct tiers. When it comes to purchasing Counter-Strike 2 skins, this is likely to be your primary consideration above all else. After all, why bother buying a skin if you don’t find it appealing in the game’s visual realm?
Alongside each entry in our CS2 M4A1-S skins Tier List, we have also included an approximate price, as per the recent transactions for the Factory New version of each skin on the Steam Marketplace. While it is technically possible to acquire Counter-Strike 2 skins from third-party marketplaces, the majority of players will opt to do so from the Steam Marketplace.

They may not look as pristine, but they won’t burn as big a hole in your pocket.
