Green Skins in CS2: Refreshing Your Inventory for St. Patrick’s Day
Recently, on March 17, St. Patrick’s Day was celebrated—a holiday where the color green takes center stage. Inspired by this, we have compiled a selection of Counter-Strike skins where green is the key design element. Such skins are rare, making them stand out in the game. Their prices are usually above average, and the community values them for their uniqueness and style. In this article, we’ll explore how green is used in skin design, highlighting their individuality and appeal to players.
Broken Fang Gloves | Jade
- Factory New – $1122.95
- Minimal Wear – $290.42
- Field-Tested – $195.84
- Well-Worn – $205.30
- Battle-Scarred – $170.70
In our opinion, these gloves are one of the best choices in terms of price-to-visual value. Don’t be intimidated by the high cost of Factory New quality; even the Battle-Scarred version looks great. The gloves feature a rich green hue reminiscent of smooth jade with a cool metallic sheen. The leather appears dense and durable, while the green color is evenly distributed with a slight shimmer in the light. Brass spikes on the knuckles and plates with the Operation Broken Fang logo add a golden contrast, emphasizing the depth of the green tone and making the gloves stylish and eye-catching.
Glock-18 | Gamma Doppler
- Factory New – $103.69
- Minimal Wear – $87.75
- Field-Tested – $81.00
- Well-Worn – $83.11
- Battle-Scarred – $115.00
This pistol from the Train collection will soon be available in a souvenir version at the next Major, but its price remains unknown. Therefore, it’s better to buy the standard version now, as its value is rising rapidly. To get the brightest green shade, we recommend looking for the Phase 4 variant, which you can easily find using our extension, Steam Inventory Helper. The slide of this pistol transitions smoothly into purple and turquoise, creating a pleasant and striking gradient. Green is the dominant color here—deep and soft—while wavy lines resembling smoke add dynamism. The metallic paint enhances the green glow, especially on the upper part of the slide, while the rest of the body remains in the standard black color.
Glock-18 | Nuclear Garden
- Factory New – $5.17
- Minimal Wear – $3.35
- Field-Tested – $1.89
- Well-Worn – $2.96
- Battle-Scarred – $1.98
If you want a green Glock-18 without overpaying, check out this pistol from the 2018 Nuke Collection. The slide is covered in neon green, applied unevenly as if haphazardly smeared with toxic paint. The shades range from bright acid green to darker, almost emerald tones. White skulls and bones with yellow radiation symbols on their foreheads are scattered chaotically across the background, closely tying the skin to the collection’s lore. The grip and barrel remain unpainted, emphasizing green as the dominant element.
M4A1-S | Emphorosaur-S
- Factory New – $13.45
- Minimal Wear – $5.49
- Field-Tested – $2.80
- Well-Worn – $3.88
- Battle-Scarred – $2.79
The upper part of this rifle is painted in a solid green shade, resembling the scales of a dinosaur in the jungle. The color is calm yet vibrant, with brown stripes along the body adding texture similar to reptilian skin. The receiver features a dinosaur eye in green tones and claws that appear to tear through the metal. The yellow magazine with an image of bullets and the number 94 contrasts with the green, while the black plastic grip completes the sleek design.
SSG 08 | Acid Fade
- Factory New – $1.38
The chromed body of this sniper rifle blends green with yellow and gray in a smooth gradient. Green is the central color, starting with bright acidic notes near the receiver and gradually fading towards the edges. The intensity of green depends on the pattern index—sometimes it dominates, other times it gives way to other shades. In CS:GO, the scope remained silver, but in CS2, it unexpectedly turned a vibrant acid green, significantly increasing the skin’s popularity and demand after the game’s update.
AUG | Carved Jade
- Factory New – $18.67
- Minimal Wear – $18.33
- Field-Tested – $16.99
As the name suggests, the green color on this rifle is inspired by jade: pure, even, and slightly translucent, covering the chromed body with thin wavy lines. The shade is calm with a cool undertone that beautifully reflects light, especially along the central part of the weapon. The barrel, magazine, and scope remain unpainted, allowing the green to stand out without excessive details, creating an elegant and restrained look. Before purchasing, inspect the skin in-game, as even in Factory New condition, it often has noticeable wear.
AWP | Containment Breach
- Factory New – $525.59
- Minimal Wear – $204.78
- Field-Tested – $111.98
- Well-Worn – $86.02
- Battle-Scarred – $78.23
Neon green dominates the body of this AWP, depicting a radioactive forest. Trees and monsters with glowing eyes and open mouths seem to radiate this toxic shade. Green is especially prominent in the central part of the rifle, where it is dense and saturated, while the edges are more neutral. Small green accents on the stock and scope enhance the feeling of poisonous energy constantly emanating from this skin.
MP9 | Hydra
- Factory New – $32.74
- Minimal Wear – $14.00
- Field-Tested – $7.83
- Well-Worn – $7.88
- Battle-Scarred – $6.69
A bright green color covers the body of this submachine gun with a geometric pattern intersected by black silhouettes of four snakes. The grip is decorated with a green silhouette of a snake’s tail, applied as if with spray paint, while the magazine and small details follow the same tone. The black barrel, front grip, and stock contrast with the green, making it the focal point of the design.
Nova | Toy Soldier
- Factory New – $4.98
- Minimal Wear – $2.07
- Field-Tested – $1.16
- Well-Worn – $0.86
- Battle-Scarred – $0.83
A glossy green evenly covers the shotgun’s body, reminiscent of the color of childhood toy soldiers. It is bright but not overwhelming, with a smooth surface featuring light scratches for a worn effect. The stock is adorned with a raised star in a circle, in the same green tone, while white stickers with the text “TOY SOLDIERS MILITARY SERIES” complete the military toy concept.
