Charms have become one of the most significant and anticipated updates in CS2. These are cosmetic items that can decorate any part of the weaponry in your arsenal. Unlike skins, which they closely resemble, charms do not wear out. Currently, only two collections are available in the game - miniature copies of weapons and agents. Players have already appreciated their design and unusual appearance, but not everyone knows how to get a charm in CS2. We will talk about this in our article today.
What is an Armory Pass and how is it related to charms?
To obtain charms in CS2, you first need to purchase an Armory Pass, which costs about $16. The Armory Pass is a pass that represents additional content in the game. Players who have purchased it gain access to a special menu with more than a hundred new items.
Only after purchasing such a pass can you start earning items. Thus, you can get a charm in CS2. At the same time, it is permissible to purchase and level up no more than 5 Armory Passes.
So, the Armory Pass cannot be obtained for free. To buy it, you need to go to the main menu of the game. By the way, this option is only available to players with Prime status.
After purchasing the pass, the player has the opportunity to open rewards and receive a special in-game currency, Armory Credits, which is used to unlock the most desirable and valuable rewards. The Armory Pass includes:
3 new weapon collections;
a new weapon case;
stickers;
charms.
Once the purchased pass is activated, you can start earning credits – Armory Credits, which can later be exchanged for various items. This internal currency (players also call it stars) is earned through experience gained in the shooter.
Each Armory Pass contains a maximum of 40 credits. The first one is earned immediately upon purchasing the pass. If you want to earn more credits, you purchase another Armory Pass, and so on. Note: credits cannot be bought; they are earned exclusively through experience with an active pass. Furthermore, the pass and credits cannot be traded or sold on marketplaces.
If you have an Armory Pass, you can guarantee to get 10 skins. Want to get a charm in CS2? Then prepare 3 stars: that's how much this item costs.
Features of charms in CS2
The appearance of charms in the shooter has been long-awaited – especially since competitors have had such items for a long time. Cosmetic items are currently presented only in two collections: Small Arms Charms and Missing Link Charms. The first features miniature copies of the most popular weapons in the game (AWP, Tec-9, USP, MAC-10, AK), as well as classic knives. These charms attract attention with their bright design and interesting appearance: some shimmer in various colors, others shine brightly, and others are decorated with gemstone-like decor.
Missing Link Charms is a collection that attracts special attention. Everyone wants to get a charm in CS2 from it! It includes copies of game agents – amusing "sausages" in various colors and designs. Here you'll find a cat, a hamster, a chicken, along with classic agents.
From each collection, you can obtain one random charm by spending 3 credits. What will you get? It all depends on your luck. Items are found in special charm capsules.
Once you become the owner of such an item, you can attach it virtually anywhere on the weapon (except for the magazine). The only restriction – only one charm per weapon. To precisely place the item, simply drag it to the desired spot.
If you grow tired of the charm, you can detach it. In that case, it will return to your inventory. If necessary, you can use it again. To detach the charm, use a special tool. When you receive a charm, you also get 3 detachors for free. In the future, such tools will need to be purchased for money: buying one tool for detaching a charm will cost about $1.
The price of charms
If you want to get a charm in CS2, you will likely find it useful to know about their value. Like skins, the price of these items depends on the design and rarity, as well as on the patterns. By the way, charms have ten times more patterns than skins.
Currently, the most expensive items from the new charm collections are:
