CSGO MP5 skins – in-depth 2019
We all like to talk about AK-47, M4A4 or AWPs. After all, they are the big boys, the main guns of any game. However, let’s not forget about their smaller brother – MP5.
As a weapon, MP5 is a submachine gun parallel to MP7. It is available to both terrorists and counter-terrorists. MP5 is also characterized by an integrated silencer, which makes it much stealthier than its MP7 counterpart. However, do mind that once people start buying armor and helmets it takes 8-10 shots to put anyone down. The only one-shot kill is a headshot to unarmored target. Luckily, the low damage and effective range are compensated with very mobile gunplay. In short, you can think about MP5 as a Glock with a higher fire rate and bigger magazine.
When it comes to CSGO MP5 skins, there is not a lot of them. In fact, there are only 5 MP5 skins CSGO has to offer, so without picking, we will talk about all of them.
MP5-SD | Phosphor
The only one of the MP5 CSGO skins of a Classified rarity grade. At the same time, it is probably the most popular MP5 weapon skin. Its design concept is quite simple – custom painting by dripping neon green, teal, and pink paints onto its dark base. I have to say, the outcome is surprisingly nice. It also resists wear and tear quite well only losing the glow in the higher float numbers.
Pricewise, it is the most expensive MP5 skin. The normal version goes up to $10 whereas a StatTrak MP5 Phosphor (Factory New) can reach over $40.
MP5-SD | Gauss
This MP5 skin available in both basic and StatTrak versions is very cheap. From the design point of view, it’s painting simulates assembly from various pieces of stamped steel. There’s really nothing much going on with it. You can usually get a normal version under $1. The most expensive would be the StatTrak MP5-SD | Gauss (Factory New) which still wouldn’t really go over $10. That’s how cheap it is.
MP5-SD | Lab Rats
This MP5 skin is available only in Souvenir version and was dropped during the first few opening weeks of Danger Zone matches. It is also available in only three wears levels: Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested. Its design is comprised of a hydrographic pattern depicting a mischief of rats. It is one of the cheapest out of all CSGO MP5-SD skins available never going over $0,5. If you don’t like the design it is not worth your time.
MP5-SD | Co-Processor
MP5 | Co-Processor features a simple, yet interesting design idea – it’s body section has a blue circuit board pattern applied with the rest of the weapon in its dark default color and texture. Personally, it may be my favorite out of all MP5 CSGO skins. It is available in normal and souvenir versions. While the normal version costs less than $1 a Factory New Souvenir MP5-SD | Co-Processor can easily go over $10.
MP5-SD | Dirt Drop
Another of the MP5 CSGO skins that have both souvenir and normal version. Dirt Drop is just a dark base with black spray streaks painted on top – it simply looks boring. The price seems to reflect it as well. All wears and version except StatTrak Factory New that’s around $5.
Where can you get MP5 skins?
All of the 5 MP5 CSGO skins currently available, only two of them come from their respective cases: MP5-SD | Phosphor, and MP5-SD | Gauss can be dropped from Danger Zone Case and Prisma Case respectively. The choice between the two is quite fair. On one hand, you have Danger Zone Case that costs around $0.20, but, Phosphor being the only one of the CSGO MP5 skins of the classified grade is a rare drop. On the other hand, because of how new it is, Prisma Case is just $0.05 and Gauss is a much more common drop than the MP5-SD | Phosphor.
However, as you all know there is no guarantee that you will drop one of the MP5 skins CSGO cases have to offer. Thus, we have to take a look at other skins held in the respective cases. Danger Zone Case has two interesting skins other than the MP5-SD | Phosphor – AK-47 | Asiimov and AWP | Neo-Noir, both of them well in $50-$75 range, with AK47 being able to reach $200 at times. On the other hand, Prisma Case has a number of lower grade interesting skins such as AWP | Atheris ($10/$50) and Desert Eagle | Light Rail as well as the excellent M4A4 | The Emperor. If you’re lucky you can also find AUG | Momentum with StatTrak tech ($200).
In the end, it is your choice which one of the two cases you’re going to invest in. Either way, please mind that it may be much less expensive to just buy the CSGO MP5-SD skins that you want.

Are MP5 skins popular?
Well, not really. Other than the MP5-SD | Phosphor, there isn’t one MP5 skin that would be well received. It may have something to do with the small number of MP5 skins available, but we can also look at it the other way around. The small number may suggest the problem lies with the weapon itself. As mentioned before, MP5-SD isn’t an ideal gun through the whole game and it rarely is used. Many players prefer to go with Desert Eagle or MAC for their semi-eco rounds, other’s just pick MP7 that they know much better. In the end, the time will tell if the MP5 is really such an unpopular gun and if there will be any more famous MP5 skins. For now, I doubt it.
