Case Hardened — Blue Gem
The more blue on the play side, the pricier. Top seeds with a blue AK top or Karambit blade go for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Marble Fade — Fire & Ice
A perfect Fire & Ice is red and blue only, no yellow. Max seeds on the Karambit are extremely rare.
Doppler — phases & gems
Phases 1–4, Ruby, Sapphire and Black Pearl are set by paint index, not seed. Ruby/Sapphire/BP are the most expensive.
Fade — gradient percentage
Higher fade percentage (90–100%) is prized: the more pink-purple, the more expensive the knife or pistol.
Crimson Web — webs
Large centered webs on the play side are prized: the more webs, the higher the price.
Keychain patterns
Charms arrived in CS2 with the Armory update in October 2024 — keychains that hang on your weapon. The first capsules were Small Arms (16 mini-guns) and Missing Link (17 characters), with more added later. Like skins, every copy carries a pattern index.
Semi-Precious: colour by pattern
100,000 variations split into three zones. The closer the index is to 100,000, the deeper the purple — and the pricier the charm; the middle gives teal transitions.
How to get one
Through the Armory pass ($16, a charm costs 3 XP credits) or as a ready listing on the Steam Market — charms themselves trade freely.
Remove & move
A charm isn’t consumed: take it off and re-attach it with a Charm Detachment pack (each charm ships with a free one for 3 removals; extras ~$1 or from weekly drops).
Valuable patterns
The most prized are the “deep purple” Semi-Precious near 100,000 and specific seeds like Diamond Dog and the blue Chicken Lil — rare patterns resell well above ordinary ones.
Notable charms
What is float
Float value is a number from 0 to 1 baked into every skin copy when it drops: the lower, the better the condition. Wear bounds: FN up to 0.07, MW to 0.15, FT to 0.38, WW to 0.45, BS to 1. Each skin has its own range — not every one can be Factory New.
Paint Seed
Paint Seed defines the texture placement. These seeds are prized by collectors and sell for multiples of the base price.
How to check your skin
