Click on the weapon skin you’d like to know more about. I’ve done a bit of research
into each of them for this video so I’m not just saying ‘here’s a pink AK’ or
whatever. The XM1014 Slipstream skin was made by Dabes.
He named it ‘Torn’ and it’s 1 of 10 that he has made from that collection. Every
design has a randomised pattern with ‘neat shapes’. He has over 330 submissions on
the workshop, with this being the first skin to be featured. In the past however, 11 of
his stickers have been featured including the Warowl one.
The UMP 45 Briefing by PoignantEnvy is his 5th featured skin. The patterns on this weapon
aren’t random lines and squiggles- they’re part of a top-down view of a CS:GO map, complete
with bombsites. I guess he figured that there’s more money to be made in skins lololol
The P90 Grim is Gooba’s first featured skin. He originally named it with two M’s though
one got lopped off somewhere along the line. He hopes the design will strike fear into
the hearts of your enemies. As if the P90 wasn’t terrifying enough already.
SLIMEface is no newcomer to the workshop with nearly 800 submissions for both CS:GO and
DOTA2, many of which have been officially included in the games. The Negev Dazzle is
his latest, which features a randomised pattern.
The G3SG1 Ventilator was also created by SLIMEface.
You may also remember the Ventilator dualies, which were featured in the Chroma 3 case released
earlier this year in April.
This five-seven is the second skin in CS:GO
to feature the Scumbria design by G-99Factory, whose XM1014 of this design was included in
the Shadow case last year. The skin was inspired by fish skin, with a very shiny two-tone design.
The CZ-75 Imprint skin is Teo’s 5th to be featured. It’s part of his ‘tread’ series
which features 21 different designs for a number of weapons in various different colours.
In fact, the one that was featured is the only one to be all one colour, the rest all
have two-tone designs. Maybe we’ll see these included at some point in the future.
The SG553 Triarch was designed by Final. It’s the only one he’s made from this series,
though if it looks familiar in its Deus Ex style that’s because he also does another
futuristic weapon skin collection known as ‘Triumvirate’, from which a five-seven
made it into the Wildfire case earlier this year.
This bold Scar-20 design was made by Endrit and is called ‘Powercore’. There’s another
design that wasn’t included that uses yellow instead of orange. Fun fact: this is his third
featured skin for CS:GO and so far they’ve all had a dominantly green theme.
The Mag7 Petroglyph is PTP’s 6th accepted skin. He originally named it Tribal Blood
and says that it’s to show your mercenary pals that you travel the world and have a
very culturally diverse lifestyle. It’s got 2 sister skins; an orange one named Tribal
and a blue, red and yellow one called Tribal Sky, which he has also done for a variety
of other weapons as well. I like this- the Glock 18 Weasel was created
by The Honey Badger, who despite submitting only 120 workshop submissions has had a huge
amount of success in getting them into the game and is followed by thousands of people.
He said that some weapons suit fearsome and mythical creatures. The glock, however, isn’t
one of them. Hence the weasel, which he did some research in to: he studied their skeleton
structure and chose a design that looked as though it was being held by the user. There
are some lovely early sketches which he’s also included on the workshop page. Despite
originally being submitted over a year ago it received an update when he realised that
weasels had white tummies. The Desert Eagle design, ‘Directive’ was
a collab between Primrose and Millenia. Primrose claims to be the first and only contributor
to get an item into all 3 flagship valve games and Millenia has gotten 2 previous skins accepted,
including the popular covert M4A4 skin, Battlestar. This deagle was a Robocop inspired skin that
was designed to look low-tech and gritty and was originally named ‘Constable’, further
going with the cop theme. It was originally submitted for Polycount’s 70’s/80’s
sci-fi skin contest, where it received an honourable mention.
The Tec9 Fuel Injector skin was created by Emu and is his second accepted skin after
an AK47, both being from the same Supercharged collection, which is GEARED around a car and
engine theme. It comes complete with a leather handle and a front wrapped in exhaust tape.
The skin even has its own Youtube showcase video.
The MP9 Airlock was a bit of a mystery, since they misspelt the maker’s name! A steam
search for Phrezeus only came up with this guy, who I don’t think made it. Instead,
it was created by Phrexeus with an X and the gun was originally named Narcis! It was inspired
by the movie Alien and was submitted to the Polycount Sci-fi competition.
The Aug Syd Mead was made by… Syd Mead, a famous guy who worked on films such as Blade
Runner and Tron. It was a joint collaboration with Coridium and yet strangely doesn’t
show up on his workshop. I’m not sure where it is to be honest.
The Roll Cage Famas by Kosear was originally named ‘Rally’ and there are blue, green
and red variations of it for both the Famas and M4A1-S. The worn designs didn’t used
to get dirty until a later update.
The AK47 Neon Revolution is another collaboration,
this time between Coridium (again) and Gamersbook. You’d think at first glance that it would
be something inspired by Suicide Squad, yet it was released over a year ago and was made
for a Counterpit Tournament, and was inspired by music from the Sex Pistols, Prodigy and Pendulum.
Among others.
