In Counter-Strike, it’s very popular to choose the skins you play with according to a specific theme. In this article, an example of an “aquatic” loadout is presented.
Gloves – The Foundation of the Theme
There are 3 great options for gloves that match the theme. The Hand Wraps | Cobalt Skulls starting at €216, the Moto Gloves | Polygon starting at €120, and the Specialist Gloves | Mogul starting at €122.
The Knife – Bright Water as the Centerpiece
There are also many options when it comes to the knife. The Bright Water skins fit the aquatic theme best. As an example for this loadout, we are using the Karambit | Bright Water, which is already available in Factory New condition starting at €600.
Starting Pistols – Clean Blue Accents
For the starting pistols, the Glock-18 | Ocean Topo and the USP-S | Royal Blue are the perfect choices. The Glock is already available for under one euro. The USP-S starts at around €30 in Minimal Wear; if you want to spend less, the similar USP-S | Blueprint is available in Minimal Wear for about €12.
Main Rifles – Bringing the Ocean to the Battlefield
Moving on to the main rifles, the top pick for the AK is the AK-47 | Aquamarine Revenge, which already carries the theme of the loadout in its name. Alternatively, the AK-47 | Midnight Laminate is also a great choice. You can enhance it with stickers such as the Sticker | Great Wave, which start at €1.50.
For the M4A1-S, the choice falls on the M4A1-S | Bright Water, matching the Karambit perfectly.
As for the M4A4, the M4A4 | Poseidon is an excellent option, but due to its status it comes at a high price, starting at around €1,100 in Minimal Wear.
AWP players should also take a look at the AWP | Sun in Leo, which is already available starting at €21.50.
SMGs for Half Buys – Budget but On Theme
For half buys, the MAC-10 | Oceanic is recommended on the T side, while the MP9 | Cobalt Paisley is a great choice for the CT side. Both skins are available for under one euro.
Last but not least, the fan favorite among the weapons: the Desert Eagle.
Here, the choice falls on the Desert Eagle | Cobalt Disruption, which is available starting at €76.
