Best CSGO Skins to Frighten Opponents – Guaranteed Goosebumps

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has a colossal variety of skins with a wide array of designs, concepts, colors, and details. If you want to look frightening and ready to kill as many opponents as possible, this selection of CS:GO skins will certainly help you attain the desired effect: 

MAC-10 Curse

Do you believe in deadly curses? If you do not believe, you better start doing so. The MAC-10 features an all-black background with a creepy mummy figure showing his rot greyish teeth, tongue hanging out, and dirty cloth bands covering a half-cut head with a brain exposed. 

Launched as part of the “Huntsman Collection” back in 2014, this skin has been considered one of the most graphic of the whole CS:GO game. Classified as a “Restricted” weapon,  it has a float range between 0.00 and 0.50.

The greater the effect of wear and tear on the skin, the darker and more frightening its appearance becomes. A Factory New item costs around $6.34 (standard). A StatTrak version of the same quality is also available for around $21.85, which makes it super affordable.

M4A4 Hellfire

If you want to balance things out and go for a mix between a comic and a scary concept, the M4A4 Hellfire rifle is the perfect skin. Featuring a devilish creature screaming amid a blazing background painted in tones of red, orange, yellow, and black, this design has cartoonish vibes after a closer look.

The drawings also feature grey chains, big white graffiti-like inscriptions, a red tail pointed at the gun’s barrel, and burning skulls right on the support edge. A “Classified” rifle, it has a float range between 0.00 and 0.50.

Once this skin reaches levels of wear and tear superior to the “Field-Tested” margin, the drawing and colors start to acquire a scrapped-off aspect and fade away completely at the maximum level of attrition.

The price range is affordable considering a Battle-Scarred item costs around $25.99, going up to Factory New items priced at $32.39. Surprisingly, the StatTrak M4A4 Hellfire with Battle-Scarred quality became a high-bid item among the community, reaching auction-like prices of over $6,000.

USP-S Kill Confirmed

Considered one of the most legendary CS:GO skins, the USP-S Kill Confirmed was launched back in 2015 with the “Shadow Boxing” update. This pistol skin features a sick design with a sharped-teeth open-mouthed skull taking a bullet right through the cranium. 

All painted in shades of red, dirty-bone white, and dark tones of grey, the skin is sprinkled with little red drops that reminisce of blood. 

The greyish-colored bullet runs through the pistol’s barrel through the sound suppressor, leaving a dragon-tail-like trail of destruction in tones of red, orange, and scurvy yellow. 

This creepy pistol is classified as a “Covert” item, which makes it a rare drop. The float scale ranges between 0.00 to 1.00, which makes it available in any exterior quality from Factory New to Battle-Scarred.

You can get one of these “little beauties” starting at $33.16 for Battle-Scarred items and going up to $129.02. StatTrak versions can cost from $85.34 to $470.00 based on their level of wear.
