The Gods and Monsters Collection

All collections

The Gods and Monsters Collection released in 2015, a mythology-themed collection and one of the most prestigious in the game. It is home to the AWP Medusa, a collection-only Covert that trades at five figures, with the M4A4 Poseidon close behind.

This is a top-tier collector set. The Medusa is the reason to care, and it is one of the most coveted AWPs in CS.

Skins by rarity

A Greek-mythology collection from Consumer up to Covert, distributed only through the collection.

  • Covert: AWP Medusa, a classical gorgon illustration.
  • Classified: M4A4 Poseidon, the sea-god M4A4 into four figures.
  • Restricted and below: M4A1-S Icarus Fell, G3SG1 Chronos, MP9 Pandora's Box, AWP Sun in Leo and more, from a few dollars up.

The rare item: AWP Medusa

The Medusa is custom painted with the image of a gorgon in rich classical tones, its flavour text warning that if you can see it you are already dead. It is Covert, collection only, with no StatTrak or normal case supply, and Factory New copies have sold for five-figure sums, currently around €3,900 and up. The M4A4 Poseidon is the second showpiece.

"If you can see me, you're already dead. The Medusa is a benchmark for collection-only prestige."

Where the skins come from

Gods and Monsters skins come only from the collection itself, with no case drop path, so supply is fixed at the original distribution. Compare live prices on our markets page.

Trade-up contracts

Ten same-rarity skins from this collection can be traded up toward the tier above, and since the May 2026 update Souvenir skins can be used in trade-ups too. There is no knife or glove craft, and with inputs this expensive the expected value is negative.

As a collector item

Gods and Monsters is a collection-only set with fixed supply and two showpiece skins in the Medusa and Poseidon. Scarcity and the mythology theme have made it one of the most respected collector holds in the game. This is a blue-chip set, not a gamble.
