The P2000 is one of the two starting pistols on the Counter-Terrorist side. Though most would prefer the USP-S, there are some players who have mastered the P2000 and prefer its higher bullet capacity over the former.
If you’re an enthusiast of the P2000, it’s important to purchase a decent skin for it since you will start every round with this pistol. In this article, we’ll go over ten of the best cheap skins from the P2000 skins collection that you can get for under $10.
P2000 | Fire Elemental
The P2000 | Fire Elemental is the only Covert rarity pistol on this list, so we figured it deserves to be featured first.
- Rarity: Covert Grade
- Collection:
- Recommended Condition: Minimal Wear
- Price: $9.51
- Flavor Text: “Sometimes playing with fire is a good thing”
The P2000 | Fire Elemental has a striking design that immediately catches the eye. The primary color scheme of the skin is a bright blue color that serves as a background for the whole body, by the main attraction of the skin is the fire creature that has been painted in orange and yellow.
The contrasting flames give the P2000 | Fire Elemental an energetic feel to make the skin stand out. The flame elemental is given a pretty cartoonish look, making the skin also offer playful vibes. It is also the opposite of the Glock-18 | Water Elemental skin.
As mentioned earlier, the P2000 | Fire Elemental is a Covert grade skin, meaning it should be pretty pricey. As a result, we can only purchase the Fire Elemental in Minimal Wear condition, and we have just enough with our $10 budget. Still, this condition works perfectly fine for a play skin.
P2000 | Imperial Dragon
For a more intricately designed skin, we recommend taking a look at the P2000 | Imperial Dragon skin.
- Rarity: Classified Grade
- Collection: The Gamma Collection
- Recommended Condition: Factory New
- Price: $7.36
- Flavor Text: “Look to the West”
The P2000 | Imperial Dragon features a striking design thanks to its orange-red metallic paints that help the skin stand out. However, the main selling point of the skin is the highly detailed dragon that is wrapping around the entire P2000 weapon.
The dragon seems to be styled in traditional Asian art, giving it a mythical and legendary appeal, as that is what the creature is known for in Eastern tradition. Overall, the skin screams power and prestige, giving it a royal aesthetic even though there aren’t any golden accents.
The Imperial Dragon was released quite a while ago in 2016, so the prices for it have stabilized. We can cop the Imperial Dragon skin at the $7 mark in Factory New condition, which in all honesty is a very fair price for such a regal-looking skin like it.
P2000 | Wicked Sick
If you prefer a burst of colors instead of well-detailed skins, the P2000 | Wicked Sick will definitely grab your attention.
- Rarity: Classified Grade
- Collection: The Revolution Collection
- Recommended Condition: Factory New
- Price: $9.55
- Flavor Text: “Can I have your attention please?”
Right off the bat, we can easily see that the Wicked Sick skin is covered in bright and vibrant colors that consist of neon pink, purple, green, and orange that have been divided into geometric stripe patterns.
As the official description of the skin states, these neon colors are designed to “grab (and keep) your attention.” The eye-catching design of the P2000 | Wicked Sick is a perfect skin choice for players who enjoy a playful and energetic concept for their Counter-Strike weapon skins.
We think the P2000 | Wicked Sick is a very underrated weapon skin, and despite the low demand, the prices for this P2000 skin are relatively high. We can barely afford it in Factory New condition with only a few cents left to spare.
P2000 | Amber Fade
The P2000 | Amber Fade is one of the oldest skins in the game, yet we still think it is one of the best affordable P2000 skins out there.
- Rarity: Restricted Grade
- Collection: The Dust 2 Collection
- Recommended Condition: Factory New
- Price: $7.09
- Flavor Text: “This isn’t just a weapon, it’s a conversation piece – Imogen, Arms Dealer In Training”
The Amber Fade is a very aesthetically striking skin thanks to its elegant design. The skin works very similarly to the Fade family, where the weapon nicely transitions from dark black to amber-colored hues, and is finished off with golden accents around the trigger of the gun.
The fade effect exudes a polished and glossy appearance, making the skin look metallic when it evidently isn’t. Though you can get this skin for under the $10 mark, the Amber Fade definitely does a great job in disguising itself as a premium-tier skin.
As stated earlier, the P2000 | Amber Fade is a classic skin that was released in 2013, the first year skins were introduced to Counter-Strike. It comes from the Dust 2 Collection and runs for $7 in Factory New condition, and you can also get it in Souvenir if you have additional funds to spare.
P2000 | Obsidian
We haven’t really touched on a red-themed P2000 skin since the Fire Elemental is predominantly blue, so the P2000 | Obsidian will do the job.
- Rarity: Restricted Grade
- Collection: The Shattered Web Collection
- Recommended Condition: Factory New
- Price: $4.91
- Flavor Text: “Giving the term “glass cannon” a whole new meaning”
The P2000 | Obsidian showcases a relatively aggressive nature. As the name may suggest already, the Obsidian skin has been painted to appear as if it were submerged in lava and is in the process of solidifying to obsidian as it cools off.
The skin features sharp, angular patterns in primarily red and black shades, embodying the volcano vibe extremely well. The flowing lines on the skin are supposed to be lava flows, but it does a great job in enhancing the skin with a visually appealing look.
The P2000 | Obsidian wasn’t released too long ago in 2019, but the prices have certainly settled down for this Restricted grade skin. You can get yourself a Factory New copy of this skin for under $5, which is half of what you were initially prepared to spend.
P2000 | Handgun
One of the most prominent budget-friendly P2000 skins that has been out for a while is the P2000 | Handgun.
- Rarity: Restricted Grade
- Collection: The Falchion Collection
- Recommended Condition: Factory New
- Price: $2.91
- Flavor Text: “No more fun and games”
The P2000 | Handgun features an eye-catching design that is based on comic book art. The description of the skin provides additional detail that the skin has been painted with a hand making an aiming gesture, hence the name of the skin.
The skin is predominantly covered in shades of blue and white, and there are textual comic-style elements added to the skin, with the “BOOM!” writing clearly visible on the top of the weapon’s slide. Overall, the Handgun offers players with a playful and energetic design that blends in pop culture with gaming.
The Handgun is one of the cheaper P2000 skins on the list. Coming from the Falchion Collection released a very long time ago, the prices for this skin have settled down, and you can easily get one of these bad boys for less than $3, which is a very fair price, in our opinion.
P2000 | Corticera
The Corticera is a classic P2000 skin, and we’re happy to say that it still remains relevant after over a decade.
- Rarity: Classified Grade
- Collection: The eSports 2014 Summer Collection
- Recommended Condition: Minimal Wear
- Price: $7.09
- Flavor Text: –
The Corticera skin features a deep blue base, and the main design of the skin is only found on the slide. According to the description of the skin, the design is painted with a Corticera tree motif, though they don’t exist in real life. Very weird.
Either way, the slide of the P2000 | Corticera is filled with striking designs of olive branches and vines across the top, giving this skin a nature-inspired look. This is the perfect P2000 skin if you’re a big fan of nature and often go outside to touch grass.
The P2000 | Corticera is one of the pricier skins on this list, mainly because of the collection it comes from. The eSports 2014 Summer are fetching for relatively high prices on the market, so it’s natural to see that a Classified grade skin like the P2000 | Corticera is going for $7 in only Minimal Wear condition.
P2000 | Pulse
- Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade
- Collection: The Huntsman Collection
- Recommended Condition: Factory New
- Price: $2.30
- Flavor Text: “Striking colors for a striking weapon”
The P2000 | Pulse is a rival skin to the P2000 | Handgun, and is one of the two most popular P2000 skins in the game for players with a tight budget. Coming from the Huntsman Collection, the Pulse will cost you a little over $2 in Factory New, which is still a bargain.
P2000 | Ivory
If you’re really on a tight budget, and want to ignore the $10 price point and go even lower, the P2000 | Ivory is a great skin with an affordable price tag.
- Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade
- Collection: The Breakout Collection
- Recommended Condition: Factory New
- Price: $0.53
- Flavor Text: –
The P2000 | Ivory is a great choice for a P2000 skin for players who enjoy clean and minimalistic designs, as the skin is made up of faux ivory parts. The slide of the skin is covered in matte black, while the remainder of the pistol is adorned in white ivory finish.
The polished surface of the skin gives the Ivory a very antique and collectible appearance, making it a great choice for players who like simple stuff. We really think the P2000 | Ivory is a very underrated skin, and such low prices are quite absurd.
If you’re really looking to be as cost-effective as possible, we think the P2000 | Ivory is a great choice. Though it comes from the Breakout Collection which has pretty expensive cases, the Ivory in Factory New condition will only cost you 50 cents, which is an absolute steal.
P2000 | Acid Etched
Finally, we have the P2000 | Acid Etched to close off the list of cheap P2000 skins.
- Rarity: Restricted Grade
- Collection: The Prisma 2 Collection
- Recommended Condition: Factory New
- Price: $1.48
- Flavor Text: “Do you feel lucky?”
The Acid Etched skin features more of a chaotic design, that displays an explosion of randomized multicolored pattern with a four-leaf clover covered in various neon colors. The base of the skin comes in dark colors, and there are splashes of green, yellow, and purple to give the skin some life.
The skin’s aesthetic appeal resides in the boldness of the color palette, which is a great choice for players who want attention-grabbing skins, which the color combination of the Acid Etched works great for.
The Prisma 2 Collection where the P2000 | Acid Etched comes from isn’t the oldest collection in the game, so the prices for skins in the weapon case are still adjusting. However, you don’t have to worry about the Acid Etched, as you can buy one in Factory New condition for less than $2.
