Video game skins might look cheap and worthless, but in the world of collectables and their enthusiasts, many skins can fetch a high price. Across Asia, Africa, North America, and Europe, many gamers are purchasing Call of Duty skins and weapon packs. Some of these skins offer more camouflage during combat, while others are purely for aesthetics. To that end, Player.com has gathered the top seven video game skins worth grinding for.

7 Luxurious Video Game Skins with Fitting Price Tags
Below are seven luxurious video game skins with staggering price tags. If you ever get your hands on any of them, know that they fetch a high price in the market. The games with the most expensive skins are Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Titles such as Overwatch 2 have been capped by their in-game currencies.
#1: Skadoodle-Signed Dragon Lore AWP Skin
The Skadoodle-Signed Dragon Lore AWP Skin that’s exclusive to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Cloud9’s Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham is a retired esports gamer who won the MVP of the ELEAGUE Boston Major 2018. So, after his win, a Dragon Lore was put up for sale: It came with two Unscratched stickers and was in Factory-New condition.
However, the real kicker was that the skin had also been signed by Skadoodle, hence its price skyrocketed to $61,000. This was double the original price of the Dragon Lore AWP skin, so it’s surprising to find collectors willing to pay such a steep price for it.
#2: Ethereal Flames Pink War Dog
Ethereal Flames Pink War Dog is a skin in Dota 2 that has achieved legendary status among fans due to its rarity. This skin isn’t only expensive because it’s in limited quantities, but also due to its status as a Legacy Courier. In other words, Legacy Couriers must be unboxed within the first few weeks following their release.
It’s a striking skin because pink isn’t common in Dota 2, so fans will know it’s rare after they see its colour. The Ethereal Flames Pink War Dog was sold for a whopping $38,000 in a private listing. It’s currently the most expensive Dota 2 skin in the history of the game.
#3: The StatTrak AK-47 Blue Skin | Case Hardened
The StatTrak AK-47 Blue Skin | Case Hardened is a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive skin that fetched a hefty price of $30,000. It’s just another example of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players trying to get rich without much effort. Some of the features of this skin that added to its hefty price are:
- Blue is one of the rarer colours for this gun type in the game.
- The skin was sold in Factory New condition.
Unlike other skins on this list, the StatTrak AK-47 Blue Skin wasn’t sold. Instead, someone traded some guns and keys for this weapon skin, so the skin’s price was calculated by the prices of the guns and keys.
#4: Golden Ornithomancer Mantle of the Benefactor
The Golden Ornithomancer Mantle of the Benefactor is a skin in Dota 2 that’s exclusive to a character, Rubick. Rubick is popular for his Spell Steal ultimate ability, which completely changes your approach to fights. For one, the spell does exactly what it sounds like; Steal the last used spell of a foe as your own.
So, the combat applications are practically limitless.
Usually, The Golden Ornithomancer Mantle of the Benefactor costs a whopping $30,000. However, its price has plummeted because it’s exclusive to one character. Nowadays, players can purchase the video game skin for as little as $2,000.
#5: Stat-Trak Karambit | Crimson Web (Factory New)
The Stat-Trak Karambit skin | Crimson Web is Factory New and extremely rare, two conditions that contribute to its high value. It’s a red-tinged knife meant to depict the blood of your enemies and it reportedly costs a whopping $30,000. Nonetheless, many gamers will find this video game skin listed for at least $2,000, but we doubt it won’t turn into a bidding war. After all, despite being on many Steam buy lists, it hasn’t been seen in the wild for more than a year now.
That said, this video game skin doesn’t add any combat ability to your repertoire. So, it’s just a way of showing off to your teammates and rivals that you’re loaded, both in-game and in the real world. To date, some Reddit posts and YouTube videos still claim that it’s one of the most expensive video game skins in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
#6: Unusual Golden Baby Roshan
The Unusual Golden Baby Roshan is a figurine of Dota 2’s pit boss, Roshan. Roshan spawns on the battlefield to award boons, which are the Aegis of the Immortals and the Cheese. The team that wields both of these perks usually wins the match, so Roshan is synonymous with victory. Yet, there aren’t many Unusual Golden Baby Roshan figurines out there.
Last we heard of it, one of these bad boys will set you back a whopping $1,800. However, we haven’t heard of any Unusual Golden Baby Roshan action figures in recent times. So, its price might be closer to the $2,000 mark than you think. For sure, it might even be auctioned off due to its rarity.
#7: Trove Carafe 2015 Autographed by 7ckngmad
The Trove Carafe 2015 Autographed by 7ckngmad is also another skin that was signed by a reputable gamer, 7ckngmad. A Dota 2 annual tournament awarded the winning team $10,000,000 and 7ckngmad was one of the key players. Heck, the legend came out of retirement just to secure OG’s win.
So right off the bat, all weapon skins autographed by 7ckngmad would fetch a high price. However, the fewer video game skins made, the higher its value would become. Currently, the 2015 edition of the autographed video game skin costs $1,850, though none have been sold for quite some time already.
Our Final Say: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Is the Best Place to Grind for Video Game Skins
To farm video game skins, the best game to play has to be Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The game is so hard, that other players can only respect the gamers who are successful at mastering its combat mechanics. However, watch out for its steep learning curve.
