Today, the world of skins is a thriving industry with its own distinct aesthetics, economy, and culture. Players are particularly attracted by skins inspired by the symbolism of Tarot cards. Their unique design not only makes the weapon stand out from the rest but also carries a deep symbolic load, creating an atmosphere of mysticism and mystery.
AWP | Mortis
AWP | Mortis is one of the most famous skins inspired by the Tarot card in CS2. When creating its design, the authors were inspired by the arcana "Death". This is definitely a suitable choice for a sniper rifle. The skin is painted mainly in black and various shades of red and yellow. On the butt, you can see the figure of the Grim Reaper, and in the central part of the body, an ominous-looking skeleton. If you are looking for an inexpensive skin for the AWP, this is one of the best offers, considering that with increasing wear, its appearance changes slightly. AWP | Mortis has a Classified rarity and comes in the Clutch Case.
AK-47 | The Empress
The AK-47 | Empress design was inspired by the Empress Tarot card. Its color scheme is dominated by red, gold, and black, with a golden empress wearing a crown taking center stage. The magazine and the front of the body are decorated with bright geometric patterns, as well as mysterious symbols. Note that as the float increases, the skin gets darker, but the pattern remains clearly visible, so you have the opportunity to save even more when buying. AK-47 | The Empress is a Covert rarity skin. You can try to get it by opening the Spectrum 2 Case.
M4A4 | The Emperor
In 2019, the Empress was paired with the Emperor — M4A4 The Emperor. While the pattern on the previous skin looked red and gold, here the two main colors are gold and blue with small inserts of red and white. The body of the gun depicts an emperor wearing a crown, surrounded by diverging rays of the sun. Symbols and geometric patterns can be seen on other elements of the weapon. It is worth paying attention to the fact that on this skin, unlike the previous one, when increasing the float, abrasions appear, from which the drawing on the store suffers most noticeably. So, it may be worth spending money on a higher-quality option. M4A4 | The Emperor is a Covert rarity skin. You can try to get it by opening a Prisma Case.
MAG-7 | Justice
The MAG-7 | Justice is perhaps the most striking of the Tarot-themed skins. Gold, bright blue, and black combine to create a vibrant pattern inspired by the Justice Arcana. The body features scales held by a formidable angel armed with a sword. All of these symbols are likely intended to suggest that all opponents will get what they deserve. This skin has a Classified rarity. You can try to get the skin by opening the Prisma 2 Case.
USP-S | The Traitor
The USP-S | The Traitor was inspired by the Hanged Man Tarot card. It features a figure of a man hanging upside down from a tree, entwined with a snake, against a bright background. This card usually represents an unpredictable or unpleasant situation that will require decisive action or an unconventional approach to resolve. This is a great skin for pistol rounds! Luckily, this skin looks good with any float value. USP-S | The Traitor is a Covert rarity skin. You can try to get it by opening the Snakebite Case.
Which Gloves Go With the Tarot-Inspired Skins?
Choosing gloves for this inventory isn't exactly easy. The thing is that three skins have red as their main color, and two have blue. Together, they don't go very well. Fortunately, all the skins in this line have shades of yellow, cream, or gold. This can be a starting point for your choice. We suggest one of the following options: Sport Gloves | Slingshot, Sport Gloves | Arid, Driver Gloves | Overtake, Moto Gloves | Transport, Bloodhound Gloves | Bronzed.
How to Get Tarot Card-Themed Skins?
There are not many ways to get Tarot card-themed skins in CS2. The easiest way is to buy a skin on the Steam market or a third-party platform for buying skins. Not so easy, but an interesting way is to open classic cases or unique cases. You can also consider upgrading skins, including through trade-up contracts, as well as participating in giveaways, where thematic, valuable skins can often be rewarded.
Conclusion
Skins inspired by the aesthetics of Tarot have captured the hearts of players. They combine strong visuals (mysticism with the excitement of victory), turning each weapon into a symbol, not just a tool. For some players, such skins are an opportunity to express individuality, for others, they are a means of collecting and a source of motivation.
