The Best P90 Skins in CS2
Table of Contents
The P90 has a reputation: rush B, run-and-gun, full spray, no fear. Whether you’re playing eco rounds on Mirage or flying through Banana on Inferno, the P90 is the king of movement and chaos. And if you’re going to terrorize the server at top speed, you might as well do it with a good-looking skin.
Below is a breakdown of the best P90 skins — from legendary classics like Asiimov and Emerald Dragon to newer favorites like Shallow Grave and Nostalgia. Bright, dark, cute, futuristic — there’s a style here for every loadout.
Each skin includes a detailed look at its design, how it feels in-game, and why players love it.
P90 | Asiimov
The iconic sci-fi white armor never gets old. P90 Asiimov shares the same futuristic armor style as the well-known AWP and M4A4 versions — black grips, bright orange stripes, clean industrial plating. Under bright lights it looks almost like a weapon out of a space lab, and the P90 model gives it more room for color contrast than the pistols.
Why players like it:
- It pops on darker maps
- It matches huge Asiimov collections
- Even in low wear it keeps its color well
If you want a futuristic weapon that doesn’t look childish or overdone, Asiimov is near the top of all P90 skins.
P90 | Trigon
Trigon takes a matte black base and cuts orange geometric patterns into it like sharp warning stripes. It has a “military sci-fi” feel — clean, tough, dangerous. Because the P90 has a lot of flat surface, the triangles stay crisp and don’t smear like they can on smaller guns.
It pairs perfectly with AK-47 Redline, Tec-9 Fuel Injector, M4A4 Buzz Kill, or anything orange-themed. A great choice if you want something aggressive without going full neon.
P90 | Death by Kitty
One of the most recognizable P90 skins ever made. Bright pink, comic-style kittens with graffiti outlines and chaotic shapes cover the entire gun. It’s weird, loud, and impossible to ignore. What makes it great is the contrast: cute art on a weapon built for pure spray-and-pray violence.
Death by Kitty became a cult classic because it doesn’t look like any other skin. If you want something that sparks reactions every time you pull it out, this is the one.
P90 | Nostalgia
Pixel art everywhere. Nostalgia is a tribute to old arcade shooters — chunky pixels, neon colors, small monsters, little spaceships. In motion it looks like someone animated a retro game on your gun. The design is fun without crossing into “kid skin” territory.
Players who love retro games or 80s synthwave aesthetics immediately fall for it. One of the most creative skins in the entire P90 lineup.
P90 | Shallow Grave
Shallow Grave overlays a giant red skull onto a cold grey metallic body. Parts of the skull show through mechanical plates, like it’s fused into the weapon. The shading is gritty, not cartoonish, so the skin stays intimidating instead of edgy.
If you like horror elements without excessive gore, this fits perfectly. Looks strong in both bright and dark maps, and doesn’t lose detail from distance.
P90 | Module
Module is built from hexagon plates and layered digital shapes — a clean, futuristic pattern that looks like military tech. Blue highlights keep it from blending into black models, so it stays visible even in shadows.
The big advantage of Module: it looks modern, but it’s extremely budget-friendly. A lot of players run it because it feels like a premium skin without a premium price.
P90 | Emerald Dragon
A real collector favorite. The green Chinese dragon artwork stretches along the gun like a mural, painted with detailed scales and gold accents. The design feels expensive — not random patterns, but proper hand-drawn illustration.
It pairs well with Jade knives, Gamma Dopplers, and other emerald-themed weapons. If you want a skin that looks mythical instead of sci-fi, Emerald Dragon is top tier.
P90 | Blind Spot
Bright blue streaks break through a black and white base, forming a sharp striped pattern that looks fast even while standing still. It has a sporty vibe, almost like racing graphics. Works very well with M4A1-S Cyrex or Desert Eagle Conspiracy.
It’s a clean, modern skin that isn’t too loud, making it good for players who want color without full chaos.
P90 | Desert Warfare
Camo skins can be boring — but Desert Warfare gets it right. Sand-colored shapes cover a matte black base with just enough contrast to look tactical rather than bland. On Mirage, Anubis, or Dust2 it blends naturally into the environment.
It’s a favorite among players who like realistic, military-style skins rather than graffiti or neon.
P90 | Run and Hide
Half cute, half creepy. The entire body shows cartoon animals in a forest running from something terrifying — weird eyes, shadows, jagged teeth. The artwork has a surreal, “storybook gone wrong” vibe, which gives it personality that most skins don’t have.
If you enjoy skins with storytelling, Run and Hide is one of the most unique P90 designs ever printed.
P90 | Chopper
Chopper is biker culture in paint form — flaming skulls, dark metal, and scorched orange gradients. It looks like something airbrushed on a motorcycle tank, not a video game gun. The artwork is bold but clean, and Source lighting makes the chrome reflections pop.
Perfect match for AK Fuel Injector, M4A1-S Nitro, and anything with fiery colors.
P90 | Grim
Bright neon green ghosts float across the side like toxic jellyfish. The black base keeps the skin from looking childish, and the glowing artwork becomes sharper under map lights. Grim is popular because it mixes dark and bright colors without becoming messy.
If you like green-themed loadouts (Electric Hive, Containment Breach, Gamma Dopplers), this fits right in.
P90 | Elite Build
Elite Build skins always feel military-professional: matte black, carbon grips, orange tape, clean weapon-lab markings. It looks like a customized weapon built by an operator, not a graffiti toy. If you like skins that look realistic, this is a perfect no-nonsense pick.
Also one of the best budget P90 skins — cheap, clean, stylish.
P90 | Traction
Traction uses peeling black paint with bright orange scratches, like metal ground down through years of battlefield abuse. The scratched-steel texture feels gritty without being dirty, and tiny white symbols add detail.
Players who enjoy “used but brutal” skins — like AK Slate or M4A4 Desolate Space — tend to love Traction.
P90 | Astral Jörmungandr
A mythical Norse snake wraps around the gun, drawn in stylized gold-orange lines on a deep blue background. The design feels ancient but clean — almost like a rune-etched weapon. It looks premium without being flashy, and collectors pay a lot for good floats.
A skin with personality, history, and great in-game readability.
