With thousands of skins available for purchase, players have begun creating themes for their CS2 inventory loadouts. One popular theme that many players are starting to base their inventories on is the idea of fire and flames.
In this article, we’re going to showcase some of the best CS2 skins with fire that you can buy in 2025.
M4A4 | Howl
The first skin to start off the list is the M4A4 skin | Howl, which is one of the most iconic and exclusive skins in Counter-Strike history.
- Rarity: Contraband Grade
- Collection: The Huntsman Collection (Before Discontinuation)
- Release Date: 1 May 2014
- Price Range: $3,060 – $5,700
- Flavor Text: –
The Howl skin features a very striking combination of intense red colors that have been combined with deep black hues, which exudes a fearsome aura. The main selling point of the skin is the apparent fiery wolf that takes the center of the stage, giving off a feral and powerful vibe for players who want to stand out.
It is also important to remember that the M4A4 | Howl is the only contraband item in the entire game, as the skin was discontinued due to a case of art theft. This incident has made the Howl one of the rarest items in the game due to scarcity.
The Howl skin was originally a part of the Huntsman Collection, but it was removed from the case due to the entire drama. The exclusivity of the M4A4 | Howl has made it one of the most expensive skins in the game, selling for over $5,000 in Factory New.
M4A1-S | Chantico’s Fire
The M4A1-S | Chantico’s Fire is a skin that will immediately stand out, thanks to its vibrant color scheme and intricate design.
- Rarity: Covert Grade
- Collection: The Chroma 3 Collection
- Release Date: 27 April 2016
- Price Range: $13.30 – $115.70
- Flavor Text: “Protect what is yours”
The Chantico’s Fire skin features a hand painting of what seems to be patterns and details that were inspired by ancient Aztec history. As a result, the weapon has been painted with vivid colors including red, yellow, and purples.
The weapon is also decorated with golden accents at the edge, giving the Chantico’s Fire skin a very luxurious feeling. Of course, the red parts of the skin resemble fire, which is why we’re including the Chantico’s Fire on this list of fire-themed skins.
As a part of the Chroma 3 Collection, the Chantico’s Fire is one of the most popular skins in the collection. Despite being a Covert grade, this M4A1-S skin has a pretty fair price of $115 in Factory New, but you can always get the skin in Minimal Wear to save a hefty chunk of money.
M4A4 | Hellfire
Though we’ve previously covered the M4A4 | Howl as the best fire-inspired M4A4 skin, we understand that the prices aren’t too realistic. Here is a more reasonable alternative!
- Rarity: Classified Grade
- Collection: The Operation Hydra Collection
- Release Date: 23 May 2017
- Price Range: $37.54 – $53.24
- Flavor Text: “And brim pebbles”
The Hellfire skin features a more playful design that features a cartoonish graphic of a devil in hell. The skin is dominated by red and orange colors that resemble fire in hell, telling a story of chaos and destruction. The devil creature is surrounded by fire and skulls drowning in lava.
The M4A4 | Hellfire is definitely a unique skin for its more whimsical approach, adding an element of fun to such a dark theme such as hell. As a result, the Hellfire is a good pickup if you’re trying to be different from others and bring a little more fun to a serious game like CS2.
You can find the M4A4 | Hellfire skin in the Operation Hydra Collection, which means the skin is quite expensive considering Hydra cases are selling at the $19 mark. The Hellfire skin will cost you a little more than $50 for a Classified skin, which is certainly higher than average.
AWP | Wildfire
Of course, there is bound to be an AWP skin on the list. In this case, we’ve selected the AWP | Wildfire, for obvious reasons.
- Rarity: Covert Grade
- Collection: The CS20 Collection
- Release Date: 18 October 2019
- Price Range: $29.50 – $117.00
- Flavor Text: “The nail that sticks out gets the hammer”
The AWP | Wildfire skin showcases a powerful design of a fiery dragon that is blazing with flames. The dragon is the main highlight of the skin, as it is slithering all the way from one end of the skin to the other.
The Wildfire skin has amazing attention to detail, as the dragon is still given detailed scales on top of subtle embers scattered throughout the entire skin. The AWP | Wildfire also features a clean color transition, with the red and orange flames over a darker background. This skin definitely appeals to players who are looking for strong and striking visuals.
The AWP | Wildfire was introduced to the game in the CS20 Collection, which was the weapon case released to celebrate Counter-Strike’s 20th birthday. It is one of the two Covert skins in the collection, so reaching the $100 mark in Factory New condition isn’t too surprising.
Desert Eagle | Blaze
The Desert Eagle | Blaze is one of the most iconic skins in the game thanks to its flame motif – everybody knows about this skin.
- Rarity: Restricted Grade
- Collection: The Dust Collection
- Release Date: 14 August 2013
- Price Range: $540.50 – $545.85
- Flavor Text: –
As we can easily tell from the name, the Desert Eagle | Blaze is all about fiery design. The main selling point of the skin is the vivid red and orange flame painted on the upper slide of the weapon, making it increasingly satisfying to hit those one taps.
The Desert Eagle | Blaze finds itself with a simple, yet striking design. There isn’t too much going on with its minimalistic concept, but the design remains bold and helps the skin stand out among others. It is a very powerful skin that has become one of the best Desert Eagle skins in the entire game.
As a part of the Dust Collection, the Blaze skin has been in the game for over a decade in the early days of Counter-Strike. Since it cannot be obtained through weapon cases or souvenir packages, it falls around the $500, making it quite an expensive skin.
SSG 08 | Dragonfire
The SSG 08 | Dragonfire is a fire-themed skin that features a vibrant and mythical design at an affordable price.
- Rarity: Covert Grade
- Collection: The Glove Collection
- Release Date: 28 November 2016
- Price Range: $9.27 – $15.87
- Flavor Text: “Sit on your horde and wait for any who come to take it”
The Dragonfire is a skin that showcases a monstrous dragon that is snorting fire. It is the perfect skin for players who enjoy a mythical approach to their weapon skins. The skin is dominated by fiery orange and yellow colors which contrast very well with the blue-colored dragon.
The dragon’s scales have been given great attention to detail, and the overall color palette and theme of the skin simply gives off menacing energy. Flames cover the front and rear portions of the skin, making it a standout choice for players looking to impress.
As hinted earlier, the prices for the SSG 08 | Dragonfire isn’t too high. Despite being a Covert grade skin, you can already find yourself buying one of these bad boys in Factory New for only $15. This is because Glove Cases are generally very cheap on the market.
P2000 | Fire Elemental
Moving on to our first pistol skin on the list, we have the P2000 | Fire Elemental, an iconic skin for the Counter-Terrorist starting pistol.
- Rarity: Covert Grade
- Collection: The Vanguard Collection
- Release Date: 11 November 2014
- Price Range: $8.82 – $19.56
- Flavor Text: “Sometimes playing with fire is a good thing”
The Fire Elemental features a custom painting of a flame elemental creature painted as the main selling point of the skin. This elemental is painted over a bright blue background, which is certainly an interesting mix of colors. However, the red and blue hues contrast well to make the skin stand out.
Overall, the P2000 | Fire Elemental gives off a bold and energetic design. The color palette ensures that the skin looks visually striking, and it isn’t too intense of a skin for players who want something more casual.
Hailing from the Operation Vanguard Collection, the P2000 | Fire Elemental has become a staple skin in the game, being a decade old. Although the skin falls under the Covert grade which might suggest a high price range, the Fire Elemental is actually quite affordable as it is a skin under the $20 mark.
Glock-18 | Bunsen Burner
Most of the skins discussed earlier are quite expensive for some mere pixels, so let’s go over some budget-friendly options.
- Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade
- Collection: The Falchion Collection
- Release Date: 26 May 2015
- Price Range: $0.23 – $1.05
- Flavor Text: “KNOCK KNOCK”
The Bunsen Burner skin features a gradient design that focuses on a transition from bright blue to a teal shade, which resembles the color a Bunsen burner flame displays. There isn’t too much chaos on the skin, as the Glock-18 | Bunsen Burner follows a clean and minimalistic approach.
The only “real” detail you’ll see on the skin is the abstract swirls of fire on the slide of the weapon, helping the Bunsen Burner skin stand out without being too complex. It is definitely a great choice for a Glock-18 skin even when the flame theme is ignored.
The Glock-18 | Bunsen Burner is a very affordable fire-themed skin. Being a Mil-Spec grade from the Falchion Collection, you won’t have to reach out for your wallet to purchase one of these. A Factory New copy of the Bunsen Burner is just over a dollar, which is achievable by selling a few weapon cases.
UMP-45 | Blaze
The Blaze skin family extends to the UMP-45, and it is definitely worth mentioning on this list of fire-themed skins.
- Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade
- Collection: The Mirage Collection
- Release Date: 27 November 2013
- Price Range: $12.67 – $31.73
- Flavor Text: –
As discussed above, the Blaze skin features a bold flame motif design that can be seen on the receiver area of the UMP-45 SMG weapon. The flames are painted in orange and red colors over a clean, dark black base. This makes the flame motif increasingly more noticeable.
Overall, the UMP-45 | Blaze focuses on a simple, yet striking design. The high contrast of colors gives it an aggressive appearance and enhances the visual appeal. This skin is easily one of the best UMP-45 skins available in the game!
Though we can’t seem to find a correlation, the UMP-45 | Blaze was released as a part of the Mirage Collection all the way back in 2013. Since souvenir packages are available for this collection, the prices for the UMP-45 | Blaze isn’t as high as the Desert Eagle.
SG 553 | Darkwing
Moving on to the SG 553 scoped rifle, we suggest grabbing the SG 553 | Darkwing skin, which is under the Restricted grade category.
- Rarity: Restricted Grade
- Collection: The Prisma 2 Collection
- Release Date: 31 March 2020
- Price Range: $0.24 – $1.47
- Flavor Text: “Eagle eyed and extremely lethal; you won’t find a more dangerous flightless bird”
The Darkwing skin’s design seems to have been inspired by a fiery bird, as the name of the skin might hint. The Darkwing skin features a red-colored base with wing-like designs covered above it in black colors. This style of feathers gives off the idea that the skin is inspired by a raptor-like creature.
We are massive fans of the Darkwing skin’s detailing, as the feathers cover the weapon’s receiver and barrel which adds additional depth to the skin. The fire and flame accents are also detailed very well, giving the skin more life and aggression.
Surprisingly, the Darkwing skin is extremely affordable despite being a well-made skin. It is one of the more common items in the Prisma 2 Collection, and you can already cop a Factory New one from the market for as little as a dollar and a half.
MAC-10 | Heat
The MAC-10 is arguably the best Terrorist-side SMG weapon, so we recommend bringing some fire to the battlefield with the MAC-10 | Heat.
- Rarity: Restricted Grade
- Collection: The Phoenix Collection
- Release Date: 20 February 2014
- Price Range: $1.84 – $6.87
- Flavor Text: “Make some outlines of your own”
The MAC-10 | Heat features an eye-catching design with its glowing flame accents. These accents are so well-made that it really looks like the MAC-10 | Heat skin is on fire, almost like a furnace is being lit up and radiating heat waves.
These fiery details work exceptionally well with the gray base of the weapon, creating a nice blend of colors and standout features. However, even though the Heat skin stands out easily, it still uses a relatively straightforward design, making it an amazing choice for players who seek simple designs on their skins.
The MAC-10 | Heat comes from the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case, which was released over ten years ago. Due to the scarcity of these cases, the prices for the MAC-10 | Heat has definitely increased, but you can get it for around $6, which is still a fair price.
Tec-9 | Re-Entry
The final pistol skin we’re going to check out is the Tec-9 | Re-Entry skin, which features a sleek, yet bold appearance.
- Rarity: Restricted Grade
- Collection: The Chroma 3 Collection
- Release Date: 27 April 2016
- Price Range: $0.28 – $1.20
- Flavor Text: “I hate being right all the time – Carmen Cocinero, Extraction Expert”
The Re-Entry skin boasts a dynamic design that has been inspired by a rocket being launched and going past the atmosphere. The main design on the skin is focused on the barrel area, which is started with a fire motif resembling the rocket engine. The skin then transitions to a blue-colored design that seems to symbolize a controlled re-entry.
The transition between colors creates a striking visual due to the quick contrast in colors, but it does a great job in making the design striking and attention-grabbing. There are also subtle details such as glowing effects added to the fire motif, giving the skin some additional life to it.
The Tec-9 | Re-Entry is incredibly affordable, as it is only a Restricted grade skin from the Chroma 3 Collection. Chroma 3 cases are selling for extremely cheap, so the $1 price tag on the Re-Entry skin makes total sense.
P90 | Vent Rush
The P90 | Vent Rush is hands down one of the most unique P90 skins in the game, and fortunately, it fits in the criteria to make it into this list.
- Rarity: Restricted Grade
- Collection: The Recoil Collection
- Release Date: 1 July 2022
- Price Range: $0.27 – $1.31
- Flavor Text: “Do you know how fast you were going?”
The Vent Rush skin showcases a very futuristic design that seems to be inspired by high-speed vehicles and other high-tech machinery. The most striking visual of the skin is the black metallic base coat, which features red and blue flame accents behind it. The red and blue creates an optical illusion of motion, which supports the main idea of the Vent Rush skin.
Overall, the P90 | Vent Rush gives off a very realistic and in-depth vibe, and is certainly a standout skin for players seeking an aggressive and bold design. However, it isn’t the best choice for anyone looking for detailed designs.
The Vent Rush skin resides in the Recoil Collection, which wasn’t released too long ago. Still, you can grab a Factory New copy of the Vent Rush skin for a little over a dollar, making it a very affordable fire-themed skin.
