Top 5 Cheap M4A4 CS2 Skins

During the past twelve years, Counter-Strike has implemented many different changes and innovations, with the biggest being the transition to Counter-Strike 2 in September of 2023. Throughout this time there have been many new maps, new weapons, alterations to the economy and many other miscellaneous updates. One of the most famous updates in Counter-Strike was the Arms Deal Update, which brought the first weapon skins to the game and the rest is history.

While the M4A1-S has taken the mantle as the superior CT side rifle, there are still many who use the M4A4 religiously. In CS2, there is a wide range of finishes to choose from, especially for popular weapons like M4A4. The most recent addition is the M4A4 | Etch Lord, added back in the Kilowatt Case in February this year. The Etch Lord, while a nice-looking M4A4, misses out on our list as we believe there are five better options valued below $25.

So, with that said, let’s look at our top five cheap M4A4 skins in Counter-Strike 2.

5 - M4A4 | Spider Lily

Coming in fifth place on our list is the M4A4 | Spider Lily, which in Factory New condition will set you back around $20 but can be acquired for just $4 in Field-Tested. This skin is painted with a dark blue base, with red spider lilies being the focus of the design. These flowers are native to Asia and are a bright red color. In Japan, red spider lilies are often planted around gravesites as a way to pay tribute to the dead, which is important for paying respect to all the enemies you kill.

4 - M4A4 | Neo-Noir

Next up is the M4A4 | Neo-Noir, which stretches the budget a little more. In Minimal Wear, the M4A4 | Neo-Noir is $11 and we wouldn’t recommend getting it in any worse condition. The M4A4 | Neo-Noir is another in the Neo Noir family of skins, which features an AWP, a USP-S and a Glock-18 skin. The finish features a mixture of pink and white, with a woman as the centerpiece over a grayscale background.

3 - M4A4 | Buzz Kill

The M4A4 | Buzz Kill is our third choice, being valued at under $15 in Minimal Wear condition. The Buzz Kill was added to Counter-Strike seven years ago and is a unique choice but one certainly worth a mention in our opinion. Similar to the Fuel Injector skins, the Buzz Kill has an industrial look to it, with the main colors being yellow and green.

2 - M4A4 | Tooth Fairy

Second on our list, and probably the best in terms of looks/price ratio, is the M4A4 | Tooth Fairy, available for just $5 in Minimal Wear. The M4A4 | Tooth Fairy is one of our favorite skins in the game, with it mixing a childhood character like the Tooth Fairy with the horror genre. The design features a chilling take on the Tooth Fairy as the focal point, with a beautiful color scheme, teeth everywhere and even the odd drawing. Our favorite is “Don’t Sleep!” etched into the magazine, a frightening message coming from the Tooth Fairy!

1 - M4A4 | Desolate Space

Taking the top spot, however, is the M4A4 | Desolate Space. The M4A4 | Desolate Space is easily attainable for under $9 in Minimal Wear and it is certainly worth its price. The design is space in a weapon skin, with a moon, the night sky and even a desolate astronaut featured in the artwork. The spaceman is the centerpiece of the M4A4 | Desolate Space, with the man unfortunately dead and just his skull remaining inside his helmet, a chilling piece of art that creates a stunning skin.
