Graffiti in CS2 comes in solid colors and patterns, and is also categorized by rarity like other cosmetic items. Like skins, they are created by community artists, and many of them contain references to memes or in-game highlights. Although players usually don't bother painting walls in intense competitive matches, in other situations they are often used to express emotions, celebrate a victory, or mark a location on the map. Graffiti can be obtained as part of a regular drop or purchased separately.
The Howling Dawn
The Howling Dawn is one of the most recognizable designs among all graffiti in CS2. It reproduces the image of the fiery hellhound from M4A4 | Howl. This skin was removed from the game due to problems with the author of the image, becoming the only item with the “Contraband” status. As a reminder of this story, Valve added graffiti to the game — of course, much more affordable.
Fire Serpent
Fire Serpent is also inspired by the image of a mythological creature, but it looks much more playful. Featuring a Native American-inspired design, this green snake is reminiscent of the AK-47 | Fire Serpent.
Clutch King
Clutch King remains one of the most popular graffiti largely because it is associated with a very specific situation. Players often use it to celebrate the moment when they manage to single-handedly defeat multiple opponents.
Easy Peasy
Easy Peasy is another graffiti that can be used to demonstrate superiority over your rivals. The image refers to the English expression “Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy”, which means something was done very easily. Players like Spiidi and SicK have used this graffiti to celebrate victories.
Crown
The graffiti called Crown is for those who truly feel in control. The two-tone image of a crowned skull looks expressive and clearly warns opponents not to underestimate the player. The graffiti was added in 2016, and some professional players, such as adreN, still use it.
Kawaii Killer CT
The graffiti called Kawaii Killer CT looks like anime-style stickers we’ve already talked about. If your skins are decorated with them, it’s worth adding this graffiti to keep the same mood.
Skull n’ Crosshairs
Skull n’ Crosshairs is one of those graffiti that signals a player means business. The name references the famous pirate flag “Skull and Bones” and depicts a skull in the center of a red crosshair. It hints at headshot skills, which is why players like LoveYY and k1to use it.
Rising Skull
Another graffiti featuring a skull is Rising Skull. The white laughing skull on a black background looks striking despite the minimalist design using only two colors — black and white.
Unicorn
The Unicorn graffiti is the opposite of the previous one. It features a tiny unicorn with a multicolored mane and a gentle expression. If you like skins like MP9 | Starlight Protector or Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale, this graffiti will be a perfect addition.
Guardian Dragon
The Guardian Dragon image was added to the game in 2017, in honor of CS launching in China. It’s one of the most detailed graffiti in the game, depicting an oriental dragon framed by AK-47 silhouettes.
