AWP Neo-Noir

SSG 08 Blood in the Water

Glock-18 Neo-Noir
Moving on to the pistols, we have a second appearance of the Neo-Noir, as the Glock-18 Neo-Noir is next on the list. The weapon skin just looks very creative, and the color scheme of it works really well with the small size of the Glock-18.

USP-S The Traitor
Next up we have the USP-S The Traitor from the recent Snakebite Collection. USP-S skins are usually either super expensive, or super cheap, so The Traitor is arguably the best USP-S skin if we're looking for a skin that's in the middle of the two extreme price points.

Tec-9 Decimator
The Tec-9 Decimator is easily one of the best Tec-9 skins available in the game. The Decimator features blue and pink highlights throughout the gun, and is an amazing choice of a skin if you're a big fan of neon and bright colors.
You can get a Tec-9 Decimator in Factory New condition for $30.39 on the Steam Market.
Desert Eagle Ocean Drive
Of course, a best skins list wouldn't be a best skins list without a Deagle skin, so we think that the Desert Eagle Ocean Drive is appropriate for this price range. This is a very colorful skin that is an amazing choice for people who like skins that stand out.
You can get a Desert Eagle Ocean Drive in Minimal Wear condition for $34.36 on the Steam Market.
