Alongside the never-forgetting experience, the game also offered numerous ways for players to enhance their collection of weapons with skins, stickers, and name tags. Surprisingly, Valve didn’t introduce the Weapon Charms until now.
After a year of a free upgrade to Counter-Strike 2 from CS: GO, Valve has released The Armory offering over a hundred new items including Weapon Charms for the very first time. Now you can showcase your exclusive charms in competitive matches and Wingman.
In this article, we will be going over the newly revealed Weapon Charms in Counter-Strike 2 along with other additions that Armory brings.
Two Sets of Weapon Charms are now available in Counter-Strike 2
The recent release of The Armory on October 2, 2024, in Counter-Strike 2 brings two individual sets of weapon charms, each one offering a unique set of charms. The Missing Link Charm Set focuses on character-based charms offering unique designs of characters for your weapon collection. Whereas, the Small Arms Charm Set focuses on weapon-based charms offering adorable knives and weapons for you to put on your favorite weapons.
Moreover, the character charms offered in the Missing Link Charm Set seem to be “tiny sausage person”, and the weapon charms in the Small Arms Charm Set are “100% recycled CS: GO weapons.” The Missing Link Charm Set offers 17 different sausage person charms and Small Arms Charm Set offers 16 weapon-based charms. In total, you get 33 weapon charms by acquiring both Charm Sets.
A Unique Way to Put on Your Charm in Counter-Strike 2
That is not all, as Counter-Strike 2 has a bit of a unique way to put the charms on the weapons. Unlike other FPS games where there is only a certain place where the charm goes, players can place weapon charm anywhere on the side of a gun. Similar to putting on stickers in Counter-Strike 2, players can select a charm and place it at a suitable position on the weapon. However, the charm can only be on the side, not on the magazine.
More Items in The Armory Update of Counter-Strike 2
Alongside the introduction of the first two sets of weapon charms, The Armory also brings three new Weapon Collections, Elemental Stickers, and a new Weapon Case. Here are the new weapon collections introduced with The Armory in Counter-Strike 2.
- Overpass Collection: Includes 16 weapon finishes from the Monster to the Biergarten.
- Graphic Collection: Featuring 16 weapon finishes full of bright hues and patterns.
- Sport and Field Collection: Features 16 weapon finishes ready for any competition.
There are two Elemental Sticker Collections that players can mix and match to create unique designs. Each sticker has a unique graphical element that reacts to the movement of the weapon. Moreover, while you are putting on the sticker, you can adjust the scrape level of the sticker to make it look more prominent and effective.
Last but not least, there is a new Weapon Case called The Gallery Case featuring 17 community-designed weapon finishes.
