The best purple inventory in CS2
Choosing inventory in CS2 is a real headache for every skin enthusiast. But selecting inventory not only based on budget but also on color sometimes seems like an extremely challenging task. Specifically for this purpose, we will compile a whole selection of various inventories with different color schemes. The selection will include the default set of weapons that are used most often: knife + gloves, glock-18, usp-s, awp, ak-47, m4a4, and m4a1-s.
Today, we will focus on purple skins that can adorn any inventory and bring aesthetic pleasure to the gaming process.
★ Ursus Knife | Ultraviolet
- Factory new – $400
- Minimal wear – $280
- Well-worn – $220
- Field-tested – $190
- Battle Scarred – $150
The name of the skin justifies its inclusion in this selection and stands out as one of the best choices in terms of price and quality. This skin features a vibrant purple handle, and it is one of the few color schemes that actually changes the color of the knife’s handle. Often, knife handles remain default and do not change, making this choice the best and virtually unparalleled for a purple inventory. The black blade complements the purple base superbly and prevents it from blending in with gloves. Moreover, it tones down the “Ultraviolet” pattern, making it less flashy and eye-catching.
Choosing the Ursus knife in this selection is not mandatory, but due to its massive handle, the purple color becomes more prominent and distinct. Additionally, unique weapon inspect animations often showcase the handle, clearly illustrating why this skin earned the name Ultraviolet.
★ Driver Gloves | Imperial Plaid
- Factory new – $1700
- Minimal wear – $840
- Well-worn – $340
- Field-tested – $370
- Battle Scarred – $240
There aren’t many purple gloves in the CS2 market, but there are still plenty to choose from. Our choice falls on the “Imperial Plaid” gloves. These gloves fit perfectly into the purple inventory and will draw the attention of teammates and opponents during matches. The distinctive feature of driver gloves is the finger coverage. Knives with small handles and narrow blades (e.g., Stiletto Knife) do not pair well with such gloves. That’s precisely why we opted for these gloves in our selection, as they, combined with the Ursus Knife, create an exceptionally cool pair that leaves no one indifferent.
We recommend getting them in at least “Field-Tested” condition with a float not less than 0.25. If you want to completely avoid any defects in appearance, it’s better to start considering “Minimal wear” versions.
USP-S | Purple DDPAT
- Factory new – $15
- Minimal wear – $14
- Well-worn – $13
- Field-tested – $13
- Battle Scarred – $12
Another skin that made it into this selection not only due to color matching but also because of its name. However, this skin has another feature that makes it worth paying attention to – it’s the souvenir version of the item. It can be found in the Mirage 2021 collection. Sometimes the souvenir version may even be cheaper than the regular one, and it may come with golden stickers applied.
Golden stickers are an excellent bonus, and the combination of purple with gold looks quite appealing. However, if you are considering purchasing the souvenir version, note that it is not available for crafting, and as a result, its price tends to appreciate more modestly compared to a similar version from the regular collection. Therefore, here you have to make a choice between aesthetics and a potential investment. Either way, both versions will look
Glock-18 | Moonrise
- Factory new – $1
- Minimal wear – $0.6
- Well-worn – $0.4
- Field-tested – $0.3
- Battle Scarred – $0.3
Smoothly, we’ve come to the most intriguing choice in our collection. It’s fascinating not only in the context of a purple assembly but also in the CS2 community as a whole. This skin features unique patterns that can command a decent premium from collectors. This is manifested in the appearance of a star in a prominent location (see the image). The star comes in various patterns, but finding a skin with it is not too easy. According to some information, the chance of dropping these types of skin with a star is around 4.4%. Therefore, manual searching is required if you want to secure that rare version of the skin. Otherwise, the skin is accessible to everyone, as its cost in “Factory New” condition is around $1.
AWP | Chromatic Aberration
- Factory new – $22
- Minimal wear – $13
- Well-worn – $8
- Field-tested – $7
- Battle Scarred – $5
This skin is the top pick for a purple AWP in your collection. First off, it hit the market in July 2022 and still looks fresh. What makes it cool is the slightly blurry effect when you hold the gun, giving it a unique vibe. The sleek black barrel helps tone down the blurriness, so it’s not too harsh on the eyes.
Plus, the skin has some fun writings like “NO SCOPE” and “ONE SHOT ONE KILL,” and there’s a little bullet icon above the magazine.
AK-47 | Neon Rider
- Factory new – $150
- Minimal wear – $63
- Well-worn – $31
- Field-tested – $33
- Battle Scarred – $23
One of the most popular choices for the AK-47 in the community is the “Neon Rider.” Its presence in a purple inventory raises no questions and was, until recently, almost the only choice. Besides its magnificent shades of purple, the skin features cyberpunk-style art. Another distinctive feature is the textured change on the stock and handguard, creating the effect of lightness, and weightlessness.
The art is so popular in the community that the device manufacturing company SteelSeries released an entire collection of devices in the same color scheme. By the way, this is not the only skin that SteelSeries has used in their designs.
M4A4 | Neo-Noir
- Factory new – $32
- Minimal wear – $12
- Well-worn – $4
- Field-tested – $6
- Battle Scarred – $3
This skin has become a favorite not only among SteelSeries designers but also among VALVE developers who add workshop skins to the game. The M4A4 is the first gun in the “Neon Noir” design and quickly gained popularity. Following it, the game saw the addition of AWP, Glock-18, and USP-S in a similar color scheme.
But why didn’t we include all representatives of this collection in our purple inventory? It’s simple. Firstly, it would be boring, and secondly, the presence of purple in this collection is not so obvious. So, if you want to focus more on purple shades, it’s better to check out the M4A1-S Decimator.
M4A1-S | Decimator
- Factory new – $37
- Minimal wear – $19
- Well-worn – $14
- Field-tested – $12
- Battle Scarred – $10
This is the top pick for our collection. It has almost all the colors we need and fits perfectly into our overall idea. The cool designs give off a neon feel, and the black color, as we’ve said before, looks really good on skins in our purple lineup.
The cheapest version of this inventory in Battle Scarred condition will cost you $443.3.
The most expensive version in Factory New condition will be priced at $2357.
