Skin makers are exploring the possibilities of the Source 2 engine in CS2, and one creator, kr1zer, has crafted an extraordinary AK-47 skin made entirely of transparent glass. Named PRISM, this skin has sparked excitement within the community, although its realism has been questioned by some players.
While it’s true that a glass weapon may seem unrealistic, it’s important to remember that CS2 is not a true-to-life representation of anti-terrorism warfare. In a game where soldiers wield gold and pink rifles and perform knife tricks during combat, the PRISM skin adds a touch of authenticity and fun. It allows players to see the world through their AK-47, offering a unique visual experience.
This innovative technique is made possible by the Source 2 engine, which has opened up new creative avenues for skin makers. Although many skins have been designed for CS2 in recent months, this transparent glass AK-47 is a first of its kind.
If Valve decides to introduce the PRISM skin to the game, there is one potential drawback: players dropping the weapon in water. Due to its transparency, locating the AK-47 in maps like Anubis and Ancient could prove challenging. However, this could also become a strategic element, allowing players to hide their weapons from enemies during economic rounds.
Now that kr1zer has uploaded the AK-47 PRISM to CS2’s workshop, it is ultimately up to Valve to determine its inclusion in the game. Valve has shown a preference for collaborating with established artists to avoid copyright issues, as seen with the M4A4 Howl skin. Kr1zer, with over 640 submitted skins, has proven their expertise, and Valve has previously added their M249 | O.S.I.P.R skin to CS:GO in May 2021 as part of the Snakebite case.
