For CS:GO players, weapon skins are always one of the “endless passions” that anyone wants to experience to the fullest. Not only to refresh the appearance of the boring default gun, collecting skins in CS:GO also showcases the passion and personality of the player. Understanding this mindset, weapon skins in CS:GO are always designed by designers to form collections that possess distinctive styles and meanings behind them.
In this article, let’s take a look at some gun skins from the HOT collections that CS:GO fans are eagerly anticipating for their official appearance in the game.
P90 The Fool
In terms of meaning, Fool refers to being foolish or naive. In Tarot, The Fool card represents an image of a naive, optimistic clown, untroubled and unafraid of new adventures. Perhaps that is why the concept of The Fool card becomes so perfect when paired with the P90 – a gun often considered suitable for “noobs” in CS:GO, with a plentiful ammo supply, easy to use, and fitting for a run-and-gun playstyle.
Aside from the humorous meaning, the design of P90 The Fool is also extremely eye-catching, featuring a clown theme that’s perfect for players wanting to switch things up for a fun round and “entertain” with the P90. Alongside other masterpieces like: M4A4 The Emperor, AK-47 Empress… P90 The Fool is currently the most highly-rated skin in this Tarot collection by the community.
AK-47 Ares
The theme of characters from Greek mythology has long been explored in CS:GO skin collections, including notable representations like M4A4 Poseidon and AWP Medusa, both of which are high-value skins sought after by many.
Recently, 2Minds Studio, a group of well-known artists/designers in the community with many skins integrated into CS:GO, has released the AK-47 Ares skin on the workshop, part of the Pantheon collection. With the concept of the symbol of the God of War Ares combined with fire-related patterns, AK-47 Ares boasts a striking warm color palette that is quite rare among previous AK-47 skins. In addition to AK-47 Ares, the Pantheon collection also features the AWP Zeus skin. CS:GO players predict that if this collection appears in the game, its price will certainly not be cheap at all.
P90 Bushido
Not part of any previously released collection, the eye-catching design of P90 Bushido is receiving quite positive feedback from the community, with nearly 7000 upvotes on reddit forums.
Featuring a Japanese warrior mask, the highlight of P90 Bushido is the creative design of the magazine shaped like a Katana handle. Many believe that the design of P90 Bushido doesn’t necessarily have to utilize red, as switching to purple would still make this skin extremely impressive.
With the creativity of the player community and artists, dozens of new gun skin samples are released daily on the Steam Workshop. However, whether these skins are integrated into the game by Valve still depends on many other factors as well as the development plans of CS:GO. Nevertheless, the community remains hopeful that new skins from previously released themes such as Tarot or Greek mythology will soon officially debut in CS:GO.
