Souvenir USP-S | Dark Water (Field-Tested)
A fan favorite from Counter-Strike Source, the Silenced USP Pistol has a detachable silencer that gives shots less recoil while suppressing attention-getting noise. It has been painted in an aquatic-stripe pattern with charcoal metallic paints of various reflectivities over a chrome base coat.

Price History
Description
The USP-S | Dark Water is part of the CS:GO legacy skin line that continues to be available in Counter-Strike 2. It was introduced as a patterned “water-themed” finish for the USP-S, giving players a distinctive look that stands out against more solid-color pistol skins. With the model carried over as a CS:GO (legacy) asset, its visual identity remains recognizable to long-time players.
In terms of rarity, the USP-S | Dark Water is classified as Restricted. While exact drop chances vary by case and game updates, Restricted skins are generally less common than Mil-Spec and more attainable than Classified or higher tiers. Its listed float range of 0.1 to 0.26 makes it especially relevant for players targeting a clean but battle-worn appearance, typically falling into the Minimal Wear to Field-Tested spectrum.
You can find this skin in multiple condition types: Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. StatTrak™ is available, allowing you to track kills with the USP-S for added personalization and bragging rights. Souvenir availability is not included for this skin, and there is no souvenir version tied to events.
Visually, Dark Water is known for its stylized, fluid-like pattern intended to resemble deep, moving water. With Paint index: 60 and the Dark Water finish style, the USP-S gets layered tones and a dynamic camouflage effect that looks especially striking under different lighting conditions. The overall design is popular for players who want a modern tactical aesthetic rather than bright or overly loud colorways.
To obtain the USP-S | Dark Water, players typically look through its crate and collection sources. It is found in the The Arms Deal Collection and can drop from the CS:GO Weapon Case. As with other case-based items, availability is tied to the active case contents and the current CS2 marketplace ecosystem.
Community perception of USP-S | Dark Water is generally positive due to its thematic consistency and wearable range. The Restricted rarity also makes it a popular mid-tier choice for players who want a good-looking USP-S without chasing the most expensive tiers. Whether you’re upgrading your pistol loadout or collecting Arms Deal Collection skins, Dark Water remains a well-regarded option for CS2 players.
