Counter-Strike 2 comes with literally hundreds of unique-looking weapon skins, but there are few out there that manage to tell a story quite like the Chinese-themed skins. Inspired by ancient mythology, porcelain artistry, and stunning, classical Eastern symbolism, these skins are every bit as collectable as they are beautiful.
Whether you’re looking to customise your loadout or build an Eastern-themed inventory, then these CS2 skins showcase some of the very best in the game.
AK-47 | Inheritance
- Collection: Kilowatt
- Quality: Covert
- Price: $69–$420
- CSDB’s Top Pick: Minimal Wear – Around $130
The AK-47 Inheritance is an absolutely stunning tribute to ancient Chinese porcelain, which is a craft that has defined elegance in Eastern art and decor for hundreds of years. The skin has a white ceramic base covered with intricate blue patterns— which is an unmistakable nod to the blue-and-white porcelain tradition from the Ming Dynasty.
Apart from its stunning aesthetics, Inheritance also benefits from CS2’s Source 2 engine, which makes it look even more textured, and its finer details look even more realistic. This skin is the perfect choice if you’re a collector who appreciates a bit of artistic finesse. It also goes really well with holographic stickers, gold-themed cosmetics, and other East Asian skins to give you a stylish and cohesive loadout.
M4A4 | Dragon King
- Collection: Chroma
- Quality: Classified
- Price: $6–$70
- CSDB’s Top Pick: Minimal Wear – $12
The Dragon King, in our opinion, has to be one of the most iconic CS2 skins ever—and for good reason. The body of the weapon is covered in a majestic dragon rendered in bright and bold strokes of blue and crimson, which perfectly reflects the cultural symbolism in China of this mythical creature. Traditionally, the dragon is seen as a guardian of wealth and prosperity… and this is a skin that brings that legacy into CS2 – in technicolour.
It’s also affordable and accessible for everyone – which is great. Because it comes with a relatively low price, even for a Factory New version, the Dragon King is a real budget-friendly beauty. Its gorgeous palette also means that it matches perfectly with bright gloves or aggressive sticker builds.
CZ75-Auto | Xiangliu
- Collection: Spectrum
- Quality: Classified
- Price: $8–$30
- CSDB’s Top Pick: Factory New – $14
Next on the list, we have the Xiangliu skin, which is designed around a fearsome creature from Chinese mythology—a venomous, nine-headed serpent that’s associated with floods and utter chaos. This is a menacing-looking skin with psychedelic green, pink, and purple tones that form a complex serpentine pattern all across the gun.
Although the CZ75-Auto isn’t necessarily the most commonly used pistol in competitive play, the Xiangliu skin still manages to standout, thanks to its unique-looking theme and design. Its colour is more than enough to turn heads, and the skin looks even better when it’s showcased along with other serpent or beast-themed items.
Dual Berettas | Dualing Dragons
- Collection: Shadow
- Quality: Industrial Grade
- Price: $0.10–$7.50
- CSDB’s Top Pick: Minimal Wear – $0.40
Dualing Dragons is a skin that offers a bit more of a subtle take on Eastern symbolism. Instead of the bright colours we’re used to with these kinds of skins, this design comes with symmetrical dragon engravings along the barrels. These dragons look like they’re carved out of steel,making them look more refined and tactical – whilst staying true to the theme.
And, they’re cheap! But despite this, they have masses of personality and are perfect if you’re looking for a low-budget way to get your hands on Chinese-style skins. They also look great pretty decent in darker lighting, which makes them superb during close-quarters duels.
Glock-18 | Umbral Rabbit
- Collection: Revolution
- Quality: Restricted
- Price: $0.30–$2.00
- CSDB’s Top Pick: Factory New – $1.60
The Umbral Rabbit is a skin that celebrates the Year of the Rabbit – one of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. It has pretty and mystical pink and purple colours, layered with lunar symbols, temples, and a dramatic mountainous backdrop. The rabbit, which in Chinese is often associated with tranquility and good fortune, is obviously the biggest part of the whole design.
This skin verges on the whimsical – but it still looks culturally rich, which makes it perfect if you’re looking for a balance of aggression and charm. And because it’s one of the cheapest options out there, it’s accessible for anyone who wants to add a bit of Eastern inspiration into their pistol loadout.
AWP | Silk Tiger
- Collection: Havoc
- Quality: Classified
- Price: $130–$360
- CSDBs Top Pick: Factory New – $255
Silk Tiger is a fierce but super luxurious AWP skin, with gorgeous golden tigers that slink their way across a silky blue and bronze background. Tigers are symbols of power in Chinese folklore – embodying courage and ferocity.
Because it looks so good and is a relatively rare skin, the Silk Tiger has become something of a collector’s favourite – and it doesn’t come cheap. The level of visual detail makes it an absolute weapon in Source 2, and the skin goes really well with golden gloves and flashy stickers… perfect for building an eye-catching sniper setup.
P2000 | Imperial Dragon
- Collection: Gamma
- Quality: Classified
- Price: $2.80–$18.30
- CSDB’s Top Pick: Minimal Wear – $5
This P2000 skin is all about Eastern majesty. The Imperial Dragon has a stunningly rendered golden dragon that’s wrapped around a dark metallic frame. And both the name and visuals ooze wealth and imperial heritage, taking us back to the grandeur of the ancient Chinese dynasties.
Even though the P2000 is less popular than the USP-S, this is a great skin to display in a themed loadout. Coming with a price tag of just $ for minimal wear, it’s available to anyone, which makes it even better!
MAC-10 | Saibā Oni
- Collection: The Gallery Case
- Price Range: $1.66–$6.34
- CSDB’s Top Pick: Factory New – $6.34
Although this one’s more based on Japanese cyberpunk culture, we think it deserves a mention because of its cool mix of East Asian themes with futuristic design. It has a bright oni mask layered with circuit board motifs – and glowing neon ink.
This is a great contrast if you’re looking to blend a bit of heritage with more modern aesthetics. What’s more, because the MAC-10 is used a lot in high-mobility rounds, this skin will definitely get a bit of attention during aggressive pushes. And, because it tops out at under $7, it’s affordable, even in Factory New condition.
M4A4 | Daybreak
- Collection: The Rising Sun
- Price Range: $8.00–$1,373.04
- CSDB’s Top Pick: Field-Tested – $354.92
If you don’t mind splashing the cash, this could be a great option. In our opinion, Daybreak is a masterpiece of minimalism and serenity. It has soft amber and white tones that depict a gorgeous sunrise over the Eastern mountains. It looks a bit like a hand-painted scroll and somehow manages to bring the feeling of peace and tranquillity, even amid all the chaos of battle.
And for those very reasons, it’s a rare and highly sought-after skin, especially in good condition. If you are willing to spend, this one is beautifully artistic and looks both classy and cultured
MP9 | Mount Fuji
- Collection: The Rising Sun
- Price Range: $4.38–$14.21
- CSDB’s Pick: Factory New – $14.21
Obviously, the iconic Mount Fuji is a geographical reference to Japan, but the overall aesthetic—cherry blossoms, stunning landscapes, and Eastern brushstroke style—makes it a great choice if you’re going got a bit of a wider East Asian theme. It manages to look calming but stylish and works really well with skins like Daybreak or Umbral Rabbit.
This is perfect if you love a compact weapon with a strong design element.
M4A4 | Cyber Security
- Collection: Operation Broken Fang
- Price Range: $22.24–$56.92
- CSDB’s Top Pick: Minimal Wear – $38.49
This one is more of a mid-range pick, and it brings a neon-colored cyber aesthetic to your M4A4, with its circuitry, digital overlays, and Chinese characters. While this one is more modern than traditional, its Eastern typography and overall design make it a super stylish addition to any Chinese-themed collection.
With a bright pink and blue palette, it definitely won’t go unnoticed on the battlefield – and it’s a great option if you’re someone who goes for contemporary, high-tech skin designs.
AWP | Oni Taiji
- Collection: Operation Hydra
- Price Range: $220.63–$587.01
- CSDB’s Top Pick: Minimal Wear – $450.51
Although this skin is based more on Japanese legend rather than Chinese, Oni Taiji’s stunning samurai-versus-demon art definitely earns it a place in the top East Asian weapon skins. This is, without a doubt, one of the most intricate designs in the whole CS2 world – and is considered by many collectors to be a grail item.
Because it’s so valuable and rare, this is one that the big spending CS2 fans will go for.
Desert Eagle | Kumicho Dragon
- Collection: Wildfire
- Price Range: $18.81–$41.00
- CSDB’s Top Pick: Minimal Wear – $29.24
Finally, we have the Kumicho Dragon, which is a silver-on-black masterpiece. The dragon design has been rendered in tattoo-style linework, etched across the surface of the Desert Eagle, and it has an elegance and power that resonate strongly with the Chinese themes of power, control and strength.
If you’re actively trying to make your pistol rounds feel a bit more regal, then this is the perfect skin to go for.
