3) Evil Daimyo
The Evil Daimyo was added to CS:GO back in May 2015. It arrived with the Falchion Collection alongside Operation Bloodhound, a beloved season for veteran Counter-Strike players.
Being one of the most simplistic skins in the list, the Evil Daimyo easily takes the spot for a cosmetic that is fairly cheap yet neat looking. Thanks to its minimalistic red-black design, you will find it an interesting item to keep in your Steam inventory.
Most community members also prefer the StatTrak option over the regular version, as the visual has an extra edge that you may look for.
4) Cyber Security
The Cyber Security is one of the most recent skins added to Counter-Strike with Operation Broken Fang Collection. The update launched in December 2020, offering a wide range of cosmetics to fans, just like the beloved Broken Fang Pass. This M4A4 skin shares exceptional features that set it apart from the others, such as the bright geometric pattern and clever design components paired with Chinese text.
The pattern index for Cyber Security does not affect the skin, meaning you can likely get a version of the skin that you desire in the market for a fairly cheaper price as well.
5) Emperor
Added to the game with the famous Prisma Collection, the Emperor stands tall as one of the most used skins in Counter-Strike history. This M4A4 skin is loved by professionals as well as high-ranking players in the game. In CS2, the Emperor received a visual upgrade alongside the engine that made the cosmetic adorn by many more.

The Poseidon M4A4 is easily one of the most expensive skins on the market. It can be a good trade-off for your new Counter-Strike 2 inventory as it is also beloved by both professionals and regular players.
