Wild Lotus | AK-47

Wild Lotus | AK-47

Release Date: November 18, 2019

Price: From ~$2900.00

Quality: Covert

Case:

Collection: The St.Mark Collection

This is one of the rare skins available in the game. Its distinctive appearance characterizes it. The lush floral pattern applied to the background, smoothly transitioning from rich green to deep blue, is a work of art. 

It is a status symbol in the game, symbolizing wealth and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. Fewer than 3,000 Wild Lotuses exist, so it's no surprise that new ones from the factory regularly sell for over $10,000.

Wild Lotus is a dream according to some players on Reddit

You can use any skins for free when you play on the servers xplay.gg. You can also earn xcoins to purchase the desired skin.

Asiimov | AK-47

Asiimov | AK-47

Release Date: December 6, 2018

Price: From ~$25.80

Quality: Covert

Case: Danger Zone Case

Collection: The Danger Zone Collection

Asimovs are the game's most recognizable and desirable skins due to the crisp design of white, orange, and black colors. This is a very "classic esport CS2" skin used by many players in the competitive scene. 

Community member Coridium developed the Asimov Collection, and several other skins like this are in the game for the M4A4, AWP, P90, and P250.

Asimov skins are perfectly matched with stickers such as Apeks. It is an excellent, stylized skin.

Bloodsport | AK-47

Bloodsport | AK-47

Release Date: March 15, 2021

Price: From ~$123.59

Quality: Covert

Case: Spectrum Case

Collection: The Spectrum Collection

This skin displays aggression and rivalry with its bold color scheme and intricate stickers. The style draws inspiration from various sports and martial arts. Stylized numbers, text, and abstract shapes give the weapon a personalized, energetic look.

SLIMEface has created a Bloodsport skin for every weapon in the game, but most have yet to be adopted into Counter-Strike 2. At the moment, along with the AK-47, you can get the MP7 and SCAR-20.

Here are the opinions on this skin.

Vulcan | AK-47

Vulcan | AK47

Release Date: May 1, 2014

Price: From ~$126.47

Quality: Covert

Case: Huntsman Weapon Case

Collection: The Huntsman Collection

A sleek and futuristic design with dominant shades of blue, black, and white makes the Vulcan stand out on the battlefield. This skin is rare enough to be considered valuable but not so expensive that it is out of reach for regular players.

Fire Serpent | AK-47

Fire Serpent | AK-47

Release Date: September 19, 2013

Price: From ~$758.91

Quality: Covert

Case: Operation Bravo Case

Collection: The Bravo Collection

This skin is a classic—it was one of the first skins added to CS:GO. Nowadays, skins are pretty rare, which makes them expensive.

The skin depicts the mythological creature Xiuhcoatl—a spiritual form of the Aztec fire deity whose name means "turquoise snake."

People love Fire Serpent, but because of its price, players have devised a slightly different way to obtain this skin. You can check it out here

Case Hardened | AK-47

Release Date: August 14, 2013

Price: From ~$247.68

Quality: Classified

Case: CS:GO Weapon Case

Collection: The Arms Deal Collection

This is a precious skin for the game's community. It features a distinctive finish that gives each skin a unique pattern, including vibrant shades of blue, purple, and orange. Because each skin is unique and different, the price varies greatly. In addition, this is one of the oldest skins. 

The fun reference to the Blue Gem Glitter sticker is interesting. It's a diamond in perfect condition, and if you rub it, you can see the number 661, which is the number of the most coveted pattern for the AK-47 Case Hardened.
