The USP-S is one of the two starting pistols exclusively on the Counter-Terrorist side. It is heavily preferred over its competitor, the P2000. Since you’ll most likely start every round with this pistol, it is essential to have a neat-looking skin to respawn to. Here are the top ten best USP-S CSGO skins you should consider grabbing!
USP-S | Kill Confirmed
Let’s be honest. We can all agree that the Kill Confirmed is by far the best USP-S skin in the game. The skin features a very detailed design of the image of a bullet shattering someone’s skull.
The USP-S | Kill Confirmed embodies what every Counter-Terrorist wants to do in the pistol round: getting headshots on opponents lacking helmets.

The only USP-S skin that comes close to the Kill Confirmed is the USP-S | Printstream, which is preferred by players who look for sleek designs.
The Printstream has been custom-painted with stark black-and-white designs and finished with pearlescent highlights to make the skin appear glossy. It’s a super clean skin and easily one of the top choices.
