CS2 Most Expensive and Rare Graffiti

Although graffiti in CS2 haven’t historically offered high return on investments, they remain an iconic in-game form of art, cherished by the community. 

These sprays come in a wide variety of designs and colors, giving players plenty of options to match their style. While graffiti is a common inclusion in weekly reward drops (and often dismissed as being worth only a few cents) certain pieces are surprisingly rare and valuable. 

Graffiti | Recoil UMP-45 (War Pig Pink)

• Price: $235
• Rarity: Base Grade
• Container: CS:GO Graffiti #3 Collection
• Released: December 3, 2020

The Recoil UMP-45 can be the best CS2 graffiti dropped from the weekly rewards — but only under one special condition: its color.

While most variants sell for around $3 to $12, the War Pig Pink version is exceptionally rare, driving its value up to nearly $160. The design mimics an elephant's trunk curling downward, with the letters "UMP" displayed on the right.

A section of the trunk is painted black, symbolizing a mirrored recoil pattern that can help players visualize and control the UMP-45's spray.

Like the Recoil UMP-45, the Recoil AK-47 graffiti's true value depends heavily on its color.

While most variants start at around $5, the rare Monarch Blue version can reach up to $30. The design resembles a stylized bird's head, with its black beak representing the AK-47's recoil pattern.
