Winter Inventory in Counter-Strike 2. Stay in harmony with the frosty winds outside your window
We’re slowly saying goodbye to autumn 2025 and welcoming winter. This means it’s time to bundle up in down jackets, scarves, and mittens to survive the blizzards and icy roads. Fortunately, changing your look in CS2 is much easier — just update your inventory and you’re ready to go. Some people set snow-covered Alps as their wallpaper, others watch Game of Thrones with the White Walkers, while we’re putting together loadouts in blue, white, silver, and icy tones. To enhance the atmosphere, we also recommend sticking with winter agents like “Doctor” Romanov | Safecracker or Blackwolf | Safecracker. Their warm and bulky sheepskin coats will add special charm to your winter loadout.
Driver Gloves | Snow Leopard
- Factory new – $2809.94
- Minimal wear – $959.39
- Field-tested – $460.00
- Well-worn – $414.92
- Battle Scarred – $350.57
Yes, these gloves aren’t for the budget-conscious, but they’re worth it: they fit the winter vibe perfectly and will set the mood all the way until spring. The outer side is made of white leather with snow leopard fur inserts — exactly what the doctor ordered for winter weather, letting you confidently grip cold metal weapons in -30 degree conditions. The inner part is made of white perforated leather with brown textured inserts for better ventilation and comfortable grip. Choosing Field-Tested or Well-Worn versions will not only save money but also add natural “snowy” wear. Low float makes the fur look too clean, while high float adds realistic frost. These gloves from Operation Broken Fang are a rarity that will make you king of the winter season.
Talon Knife | Stained
- Factory new – $637.94
- Minimal wear – $459.19
- Field-tested – $391.00
- Well-worn – $390.85
- Battle Scarred – $383.54
The blade is artificially aged with patina in gray-yellow spots, reminiscent of frost and first snow on metal, while the handle is left clean for contrast. A gorgeous knife that adds brutality to the loadout thanks to its serrated blade — as if the fangs of the snow leopard from the gloves emerged and are ready to tear enemies to shreds. It’s the perfect continuation of the theme: gloves are the hide, knife is the claws, and together they transform you into an alpine predator. We recommend getting a high float (0.7+) so the patina looks like frozen rust — the “dirtier” it is, the more authentic the winter vibe, as if the knife was lying in a snowdrift on the Office map.
USP-S | Alpine Camo
- Factory new – $5.00
- Minimal wear – $1.76
- Field-tested – $1.05
- Well-worn – $1.41
- Battle Scarred – $0.81
The skin is covered in an alpine camouflage pattern, where most details — the barrel, trigger, front sight — are done in bright blue that blends perfectly with snow and fog. Yes, perhaps you expected the USP-S | Whiteout, but have you seen its price? Here for just a couple of bucks you get an equally fitting and atmospheric option, as if the pistol was made for winter operations (which we’ve been waiting for the fourth year now). Here you don’t need to worry about choosing quality and can afford any version. From The Armory Pass — this is a budget hit that fits perfectly into the loadout and leaves money for the knife. Wrap up a pack!
Glock-18 | AXIA
- Factory new – $200.82
- Minimal wear – $74.35
- Field-tested – $61.76
- Well-worn – $63.54
- Battle Scarred – $61.0
The weapon is painted in bright blue grainy metallic paint, complemented by AXIA brand elements. The skin description contains the phrase “AXIA SPORTS — we compete so you can relax!” This slogan seems to whisper: “Trust me in any blizzard — I won’t let you down.” The slide without stickers beautifully reflects light, becoming practically snow-white, like pure winter ice, without any junk or specks. So don’t be tempted to use it for sticker crafts — it’s great on its own here. Top choice for T-side: the blue shimmers in the dim light, and the graininess adds snow texture that seems to sparkle in the winter sun thanks to the glitter effect.
AWP | Ice Coaled
- Factory new – $700.46
- Minimal wear – $32.38
- Field-tested – $16.97
- Well-worn – $13.18
- Battle Scarred – $13.08
The entire body of the rifle is decorated with an abstract gradient from bright green to blue, black background, geometric pictograms, and turquoise stripes on the magazine. The name “Ice Coaled” speaks for itself — a cold gradient like a frozen river or arctic ice under snow. Excellent choice for AWP. If you want to enhance the gradient effect and add it to the scope, use a sticker craft from this collection. No matter how much everyone hates the Genesis terminal — it deserves respect at least for this skin.
AK-47 | Frontside Misty
- Factory new – $246.53
- Minimal wear – $43.98
- Field-tested – $23.50
- Well-worn – $21.92
- Battle Scarred – $20.73
The body of the rifle is black with white-blue ornamental swirls and wavy lines, plus carbon inserts for shine. Let’s return to the 2015 classic from the Shadow Collection — this skin was simply made for winter: waves like a blizzard, and swirls like snow vortexes on a slope. On the AK-47, it looks like a snow storm in the hands of a terrorist. Get Field-Tested quality for the ideal balance between visuals and cost. For 20-40 bucks — an eternal winter legend that people still gladly use in the game.
M4A1-S | Nightmare
- Factory new – $115.00
- Minimal wear – $27.98
- Field-tested – $11.93
- Well-worn – $8.23
- Battle Scarred – $7.84
A skin in a black-blue palette: the central part features a black demon head in the form of a dead horse, plus blue crystals on the body. The crystals strongly resemble large icicles — as if the monster sat for an eternity in the ice and tore through its icy sarcophagus to break free into the winter night. An unconventional choice for CT: the horror theme seems to fade into the background, while the blue highlights sparkle like the northern lights. High float will add “cracks” to the sarcophagus, but don’t choose a version that’s too worn so you don’t lose visibility of the demon. A fairly budget nightmare for enemies that will add mystique to your loadout!
M4A4 | Urban DDPAT
- Factory new – $35.81
- Minimal wear – $0.80
- Field-tested – $0.16
- Well-worn – $0.18
- Battle Scarred – $0.14
The central part of the body and magazine are in pixelated gray camouflage, the stock/handguard/grip are solid gray — like your mood in winter. Perfect in every sense: blends with urban snow and costs less than a dollar — a pure gift! The pixels resemble a blizzard in a metropolis or digital snowfall. Diversify it with any stickers or leave it as is, and you’ve got a complete winter arsenal for pennies!
The most expensive winter-themed loadout will cost $4,861, but we’re confident that most skins shouldn’t be bought “Factory New” — the wear adds cracks to the body, as if caused by frost. Balance your budget and the price will drop at least 4-5 times, to $1,100 for everything, including the knife and gloves! Update your inventory and dominate on the server — this winter is yours!
