The USP-S is the default pistol for the Counter-Terrorists inCS:GO, arguably one of the top choices for pistol rounds and a good backup when you need to switch to your sidearm. What makes this pistol even better is the high accuracy and good recoil that comes with keeping the silencer attached.

With it being a free weapon for the CT side, many players like to pick up the USP-S throughout early game rounds. Though the silencer is long and can give away your position when hiding in corners, we all know in CS:GO skins equal wins, and this pistol has an incredible range of cosmetics.

10Flashback

The Flashback is a great-looking skin that doesn’t showcase bright and flashy colors but instead makes the weapon stand out in a completely different way. The dark and grimy green color along with the words on the pistol makes it a must-have in your inventory.

Designed by “Superior Weapons,” the Flashback was added to the game in 2018 as part of the Danger Zone Case and Collection. There are a variety of weapon skins that have words and symbols on them but the “SHH!” and peace sign is what attracts you to this pistol skin.

9Cyrex

Black, white, and red is such a great color combination and makes any weapon look incredible. Just look at the USP-S Cyrex. Community designer “Nextgenz” knew precisely what they were doing when crafting this skin.

The skin was added to the game in 2016 as part of the Brothers In Arms update and can be obtained from the Glove Case container. The mainly black body is accompanied by well-balanced red and white highlighted areas on the pistol making every part of it stand out.

The Target Acquired has a map pattern of a bird’s eye view of a HUD on the pistol with a pink tint. This skin was added to the game in December 2020 during the Operation Broken Fang update.

The pattern is one you usually don’t see on a lot of weapons and has quite a bit of detail once you begin to look at it closer. It is one of the popular skins for the USP-S especially since it is part of the Control Collection and not in any cases.

7The Traitor

When you think of Covert skins for the USP-S there are a few that come to mind and The Traitor should be on that list. This bright and dark red skin was designed by “Zaphk” and added to CS:GO in 2021 in the Snakebite Case.

The custom paint job takes inspiration from the Hanged Man tarot card and does so beautifully. Its name does a great job of portraying the tarot card and painting the weapon. You can find this weapon on theSteammarket for $68 in Factory New condition.

6Neo-Noir

There arequite a few weaponsthat are part of a family much like the Neo-Noir. This skin looks incredible on all the weapons it is currently on and only makes the USP-S stand out with its artwork.

Added to the game in 2017 in the Spectrum Case, this skin was designed by “donschi” and, when you look at the skin, you will notice a woman on it with a blue-magenta color. The rest of the colors complement the artwork very well and give it the feeling of a weapon from a Neo-Noir film.

This skin is one of the few USP-S skins that showcases one continuous piece of art that utilizes the whole pistol. The silver and black base colors are accompanied by a skeleton with a pink accent, which looks like a brain and flows from the grip to the silencer. The pink lines even spell out “USPS” on the silencer.

4Monster Mashup

Another skin created by community designer “Nextgenz” is the USP-S Monster Mashup. It was added to the game in 2020 as part of the Operation Broken Fang Case update. This adorable little green monster takes up the whole body of the pistol, and you can tell is very much inspired by urban artwork.

The silencer also matches the colors of the skin with a pearlescent finish. If you’re looking to create a monster-themed inventory, this skin is perfect for that and will run you about $45 for a Factory New one on the Steam market.

3Printstream

Sometimes less is more and that stands true for this USP-S. The Printstream is another series in CS:GO that looks incredible and brings out the beauty of the weapon with only a few colors and designs on the gun itself.

The two-toned weapon features a black-and-white design with pearlescent highlights. Designed by “JTPNZ,” this skin was added to the game as part of the Recoil Case in 2022. This is a clean and simple-looking skin and has the signature double X on the barrel of the gun.

2Ticket To Hell

Black and white designs stand out when designing anything. It’s a classic and simple color combination that just works, and the Ticket To Hell proves that. Added to the game in 2022 as part of the Dreams & Nightmares Case and update, the skin was designed by “supremat.” The all-black skin utilizes white lettering that is placed all over the pistol.

There are a few designs much like a creepy pair of teeth and some drawings, but that’s what makes the weapon stand out and pop. The words “Ticket to Hell” and “Dead Silence” also are the two most notable on the skin. This might beone of the cheapest skinson the Steam market going for around $2 for a Factory New version, which is a steal for how amazing this skin looks.

1Kill Confirmed

Perhaps the most popular skin for the USP-S is the Kill Confirmed. Designed by “Nick,” this skin was added to CS:GO in 2015 in the Shadow Case. The picture of the skin alone looks stunning, but when you see it in the game, it is truly phenomenal.

The artwork shows a skull being completely shattered by a bullet that takes up the whole weapon. The red and black base colors only play second fiddle to the artwork. The skull itself stands out beautifully, and the pieces of the skull flying from the back of the gun to the silencer, along with the bullet, is what makes this arguably the best USP-S skin in the game to date.
