Top Awesome Facts About CS2 (CS:GO) Cosmetics

Did you know that Counter-Strike players had nothing to play with but vanilla weapons in 2012? Or that someone popped the question to their significant other by using a custom-made CS2 (CS:GO) skin?

This article is the first one in our series covering impressive facts regarding various cosmetic items, including weapon skins and stickers, and we hope it will blow your mind. Let’s get started on uncovering the secrets!

#1 Skins Weren’t There Until 2013

Gamers are willing to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on “shiny pixels” to customize the looks of their guns. However, there were no skins in CS until 2013, and everyone had to play with “vanilla weapons”.

Counter-Strike was the first game of the series to introduce the Competitive Mode and the first one to introduce skins. Valve added the first-ever weapon skins to CS2 (CS:GO) when The Arms Deal update came out on August 14, 2013.

That day Valve released over a hundred unique weapon finishes and several cases, and presented the StatTrak™ technology. If you want to get in touch with the history, read our article about the oldest CS:GO skins.

They also announced that everyone would be able to submit their designs to Steam Workshop in the near future. Eventually, this led to hundreds of community creators making great skins for CS2 (CS:GO). Valve introduced the first community-made skin collection, Winter Offensive Weapon Case, in December, 2013. It contained thirteen skins.

#2 You Can Apply Five Stickers to Some CS2 (CS:GO) Weapons

There is a restriction on the number of stickers players can apply to a gun model. This number is four for most of the weapon skins, like AK-47 and AWP. However, you can place up to five stickers on R8 Revolver and G3SG1.

If you use these weapons regularly in-game but haven’t filled all sticker slots, including the extra one yet, what are you waiting for? Explore skins for R8 Revolver and G3SG1 on our website and get the suiting stickers.

#3 A Counter-Strike Player Proposed To His Girlfriend Using a Skin

In 2020, Reddit user ejqespiritu spent a week designing a custom P90 skin with a ring hidden inside the gun’s magazine to propose to his then-girlfriend and (spoiler alert) now-wife.

His partner was actually the one to introduce him to Counter-Strike in 2014. The couple played CS for six years together until they decided to quit the game in 2020 because they had to bear responsibilities and didn’t have as much free time as they used to.

Before quitting the game for good, ejqespiritu created a P90 skin with a red box and a shiny ring inside to propose creatively. He asked his then-girlfriend to load up a game with bots and check out the skin. After a few rounds, she finally noticed something inside the magazine.

“She then reloaded a few times and finally made sense of what was inside and screamed “you serious?” as she looked back and there’s me, knees bent, holding the cheap ring I hastily bought on one hand and sporting the wryest smile before asking her to Marry Me.” – ejqespiritu on Reddit.

She said yes! Would you like to see this P90 skin in-game officially? If you want to read the full story, here’s the link to the original Reddit thread.
