Ballin' on a budget: Top five UMP-45 skins for $15 or less

Want to frag out in style but don't want to break the bank? No worries! We can get you looking good on both CT and T side for $15 or less.

The UMP-45 doesn't see a ton of play in CS:GO due to other SMGs providing more than it, but it does get picked up every now and then. The gun offers a decent rate of fire and is easily controlled even while moving, making it an excellent weapon for new players. The UMP-45 being so low on viability does make getting its best skins for $15 or less an easy task.

Number five

Coming in at fifth place for UMP-45s is the Arctic Wolf. The UMP-45 Arctic Wolf is blueish gray with scratch marks and an arctic wolf fur covering most of the weapon. The Arctic Wolf design can also be found on the AUG, and you can get it for $15 or less too. The UMP-45 Arctic Wolf is super cheap at less than $1, and a StatTrak goes for about $2. The UMP-45 Arctic Wolf can also be pulled from a Clutch Case.

Number four

Getting number four on today's list is the UMP-45 Moonrise. The UMP-45 Moonrise is a mostly purple skin that displays a beautiful moonrise over San Francisco, California. The Moonrise design can also be found on the Glock-18, which can be obtained for $15 or less as well. The UMP-45 Moonrise is another cheap one at less than $1, and a StatTrak goes for about $2. The UMP-45 Moonrise can also be pulled from a Prisma Case.

Number three

Taking home the bronze is the UMP-45 Plastique. The UMP-45 Plastique is a mostly green skin that imitates a C4 (or plastic) bomb. This skin is an obvious fit in the CS:GO world, given the sole objective is to plant/defuse a bomb in the server. The Plastique design can only be found on the UMP-45, but it will pair well with other green based skins like the MP9 Hydra or the Glock-18 Nuclear Garden, all of which can be obtained for $15 or less. The UMP-45 Plastique is yet another super cheap skin at less than $1, while a StatTrak will set you back about $2. The Plastique can also be pulled from the CS20 Case.

Number two

Earning the silver medal is the UMP-45 Momentum. The UMP-45 Momentum is a teal and pink skin that sports arrows flying forward to imitate forward momentum. The Momentum design can also be found on the AUG and is also $15 or less. The UMP-45 Momentum is a bit more expensive than the previous skins on this list at about $4, and a StatTrak goes for about $8. The UMP-45 Momentum can also be pulled from a Danger Zone Case.

Number one

Taking home the gold for today's top five is the UMP-45 Primal Saber. The UMP-45 Primal Saber is a mostly black skin with teal claw marks and the skull of a Sabertooth Tiger at the forefront. The Primal Saber is a skin I fell in love with at first sight, and though its design is only on the UMP-45, it fits in quite well with other monster/animal skins, which happen to be my fave. The UMP-45 Primal Saber runs for about $5, and the StatTrak goes for about $10. You can also try your luck with pulling it from a Chroma 3 Case.
