In reality, the last thing you would do if you were a sniper would be to slap several shiny, glistening stickers across your weapon. However, as an AWPer, that’s precisely what you’d want to do.

Imagine sticking a couple of stickers on your weapon and having it go up in value. Yep, it’s possible. However, it does depend on which stickers you stick on your skins. You’ll be able to sell your skins for much more with the right stickers. The wrong stickers, and you might as well scrape them off before trying to offload them on a marketplace.

Best Foil Stickers in CS2

Foil stickers CS2 are some of our favorite stickers. The shine. The depth. However, from time to time, the price of certain stickers get pretty outrageous. So, just to be clear, this is not a list of the most expensive foil stickers. In fact, the price at times hurt the placement of the sticker. And we’re only picking 10. Follow the link if you want to check out all of the foil stickers.

Kicking it off with number 10 on our list.

Foil | Factory Sealed

The Factory Sealed sticker is likely the most playful sticker on our list. And, that’s exactly why it made it to the number 10 spot. The sticker contains an agent in what appears to be a packaged toy that you’d find handing on a shelf at your local store. Inside are several weapons and items.

Designed by: Mei

Class: Exotic

Containers: Ambush Stickers Capsule

Possible great skin combinations: AK-47 | Slate, Desert Eagle | Mecha Industries, AWP | Exoskeleton, or UMP-45 | Exposure

Price: $0.73

Overall thoughts: The playfulness of this sticker is more than worth the price and make it one of the best Foil stickers CS2. In fact, for less than a dollar, this sticker is a package full of value.

At number 9

Foil | Romanov’s Fire

The Romanov’s Fire sticker features an agent encircled by flames coming from a molotov cocktail. The shining reds, oranges, and yellows dominate this sticker. It’s a very lovely design. A bit aggressive. But very nice.

Designed by: Frostbug

Released: August 16th, 2022

Class: Exotic

Containers: 10 Year Birthday Stickers Capsule

Possible great skin combinations: AK-47 | Redline, AWP | Wildfire, M4A4 | Howl, USP-S | Cyrex, or Desert Eagle | Blaze

Price: $1.03

Overall thoughts:For around a single dollar, this sticker is well worth owning a few. It’s a very powerful sticker that for sure will shine on various skins.

Coming in at number 8

Foil | Crown

The Crown sticker features a skull with an ornate crown atop its head. The word “BOSS” is embossed across the front of the Crown. This sticker only has 1 color, and that’s gold. Be prepared to pay the cost of being the boss. It’s not cheap.

Designed by: Valve

Released: February 27th, 2014

Class: Exotic

Containers: Sticker Capsule 2 Sticker Capsule

Possible great skin combinations: AK-47 | Black Laminate, M4A1-S | Printstream, AWP | Graphite, or USP-S | Kill Confirmed

Price: $555.25

Overall thoughts:We love this sticker. However, not enough to put it any higher than number 8. The price is just a bit too high, bringing its overall value down a bit. It’s tough to get ourselves to buy a sticker for over $500. But, boy is it nice.

In at number 7

Foil | Ouchie

The Ouchie sticker is a cartoon-themed sticker that resembles a band-aid. It’s really simple and really cool. Like the Crown, the Ouchie sticker is solid gold and also has a playful yet expensive vibe. Spoiler: It’s not expensive at all.

Designed by: 2Minds

Released: February 6th, 2024

Class: Exotic

Containers: Ambush Stickers Capsule

Possible great skin combinations: AK-47 | Neon Revolution, MAC-10 | Disco Tech, AWP | Fever Dream, USP-S | Cortex, or FAMAS | Eye of Athena

Price: $3.10

Overall thoughts:We think the Crown sticker is a bit more powerful. However, at around $3, you can buy about 180 of these stickers for the price of one Crown sticker. There’s no way we can put the Crown higher on the list. After all, they are both solid gold and both very nice.

At number 6

Foil | Gold Web

The Gold Web sticker depicts a golden spider. The spider seems to shimmer against the purple and pink background. The reflection on the spider’s abdomen is breathtaking. It almost reminds us of a Mirage.

Designed by: Valve

Released: November 18th, 2019

Class: Exotic

Containers: Shattered Web Stickers Capsule

Possible great skin combinations: AK-47 | Slate, M4A1-S | Knight, Desert Eagle | Midnight Storm, AWP | Graphite, or AUG | Midnight Lily

Price: $3.93

Overall thoughts: We love the contrast in colors. We love the cheap price. We love the number of skins this sticker can enhance. That’s enough to place the Gold Web at number 6.

Halfway there at number 5

Foil | Showdown

The Showdown sticker is a very aggressive sticker. It shows two dragons tangled up in what feels like an endless battle. The golds, the reds, and the oranges are simply stunning. 

Designed by: TheDanidem

Released: August 16th, 2022

Class: Exotic

Containers: 10 Year Birthday Sticker Capsule

Possible great skin combinations: AK-47 | Redline, AWP | Wildfire, M4A4 | Howl, USP-S | Kill Confirmed, or Desert Eagle | Blaze

Price: $5.67

Overall thoughts:The more we look at the sticker, the more we love it. One dragon is made of fire, and the other has arms with razor-sharp talons. On top of everything, you can pick one up for a decent price, pushing its value even higher.

In at number 4

Foil | Stone Scales

The Stone Scales sticker has a texture resembling reptilian scales mixed with an ancient Mayan theme. The snake’s head curls back into its body, staring at what appears to be an armband—ironically. For some reason, this sticker seems to have a calming effect.

Designed by: Valve

Released: December 3rd, 2020

Class: Exotic

Containers: Broken Fang Sticker Capsule

Possible great skin combinations: AK-47 | Gold Arabesque, M4A1-S | Golden Coil, Desert Eagle | Conspiracy, or AWP | Medusa

Price: $5.25

Overall thoughts: The Stone Scales sticker is absolutely amazing. It’s simple yet a little complex, very detailed yet not overwhelming, and reasonably priced. However, it still isn’t nice enough to break into the top three.

Breaking into the top 3

Foil | Dragon Lore

The Dragon Lore sticker seems to follow a developing theme on our list: dragons. However, we couldn’t exclude it. It depicts an overly aggressive dragon blowing fire. The dragon not only has arms but also horns. We also love the small CS logo at the bottom of the sticker.

Designed by: TheDanidem

Released: October 18th, 2019

Class: Exotic

Containers: CS20 Stickers Capsule

Possible great skin combinations: AK-47 | Slate, AWP | Graphite, M4A1-S | Knight, or Desert Eagle | Conspiracy

Price: $12.30

Overall thoughts:This is a very complex sticker. There’s a lot going on. However, every single part of what’s happening is interesting and adds to the greatness of the sticker.

At number 2

Foil | Great Wave

The foil Great Wave sticker is not only the most expensive but also the best-looking. Like the others, it is a minimalist tribute to the famous painting Under the Wave off Kanagawa. However, the foil version is best because the blues, silvers, and light golds really make this version pop.

Designed by: Valve

Released: September 21st, 2021

Class: Exotic

Containers: Stickers Capsule

Possible great skin combinations: AWP | Atheris, AK-47 | Blue Laminate, USP-S | Guardian, Desert Eagle | Cobalt Disruption, or M4A1-S | Printstream

Price: $30.20

Overall thoughts:As much as we love the Foil Great Wave, we still couldn’t get ourselves to put it at number 1. It’s also kind of pricey. If you have an extra $30, you should pick one up. However, if you have only $30, it’s probably best to scroll up and get a handful of stickers for the same price.

And for the greatest Foil sticker. At number 1

Foil | Flammable

The Flammable sticker looks to resemble a hazard sign, featuring bold red, yellow, and black colors, with a sharp, triangular shape with a single flame icon. It almost feels like a real sign. Simply perfect.

Designed by: jim´s

Released: May 1st, 2014

Class: Remarkable

Containers: Community Sticker Capsule 1 Stickers Capsule

Possible great skin combinations: AK-47 | Fuel Injector, M4A4 | Asiimov, AWP | Wildfire, or MAC-10 | Heat

Price: $124.32

Overall thoughts:Though it’s very expensive and not one of the cheap Foil stickers CS2, we had to place the Flammable sticker at number 1. It literally feels like a real sign and not a sticker. It’s simple. It’s amazing without overcomplicating the design. Sometimes, less really is more.
