Tips for a $2,000 loadout

  • A strong pair plus three rifle skins in the same color does more for the look than spreading money evenly.
  • Gem-phase Dopplers and Fades usually cost more than this whole budget; Lore, Slaughter and Tiger Tooth fit comfortably.
  • Use the Builder's color picker to compare themes at the same price before you buy anything.

Frequently asked

Can you get a knife and gloves in CS2 for $2,000?
Yes. Today's loadout on this page pairs ★ Talon Knife | Marble Fade with ★ Driver Gloves | King Snake for $695.00, and still has skins on all ten main weapons, for $1,897.39 in total.
How much of a $2,000 loadout goes to the knife and gloves?
The Builder aims about 35% of the budget at the knife and gloves, 30% at the AK-47, M4 and AWP, 20% at pistols and 15% at the other guns. In today's loadout the pair costs $695.00, 37% of what it spends.
Why does the $2,000 loadout cost less than $2,000?
Each group of weapons has its own share of the budget, and the Builder won't push a slot past its share just to use the money. You can change the shares in the Builder's advanced options, or open the loadout and swap any slot for a pricier skin.
Which colors work at $2,000?
10 distinct loadouts fit this budget today: the best overall pick plus 9 color themes. Color matching uses each skin's measured colors, and weapons without a skin in that color get a neutral black or white one.
