Have you ever wondered how to remove a sticker in CS:GO c some skin? There are a lot of reasons for this action: the desire to keep the sticker, does not harmonize with the weapon, too ugly. Is it that simple, or are there some pitfalls?
Or maybe someone before you, who owned an assault rifle or a rifle before, decided to scrape the sticker in the inventory, causing it to lose its original look and look no better than a half-ripped advertising sticker on a cup or plate that you just brought home from the store.
And so that you do not have questions from the series «and whether you can save the sticker?», the answer is unequivocally — no. They are disposable and are not recyclable. Even the rarest and most unique ones that you can get during the biggest online events like ESL, Blast, EMS, Eleague, etc. Everyone knows the value of the most expensive 2014 Katowice stickers like TITAN at $10000 each, right?
So let's talk about how to remove the sticker in CS:GO c weapons, if it is annoying, inappropriate, or badly worn. The latter only happens through the fault of the gamer, who cosh the sticker in the inventory proper. They have no systematic wear and tear, just like skins.
Cleaning procedure in detail
Almost every weapon (except revolvers) can be labeled with up to 4 pictures on clearly marked places (it is different for each type of gun). But far not always the previous owner of a hypothetical AK-47 Red Line or M4A4 Neonoir was aware that he was doing everything competently and harmoniously. Often these are random stickers that are slapped on top of the skin and the owner is happy. Or maybe you used to be one too.
Thankfully, you can remove all of this yourself to make room for a more valuable sticker, of which there are plenty in CS GO.
To do this, go to the inventory, select the machine gun/gun/shotgun and click «Scratch sticker».
.
Opens a new menu, which shows a test gun with a ridiculous smudge on the buttstock, from which you need to get rid of.
The system will warn you that the action is irreversible and you cannot return the sticker back to your inventory. This is not provided for in the game rules.
But if you are persistent and do everything with a cool head, then select this piece of vinyl with the mouse and then click on it 10-15 times. With each click, the image becomes more and more dull, unsightly and shabby, as if it had been scrubbed with a dish sponge.
Here are a couple of examples of P250 Snowdrop with a brand new set from Operation «Split Net»
Option 1 (all fresh)
Option 2 (heavy scuffs)
On the last screenshot especially attentive can even see the passhalek in the form of the Roman numeral «9» on the belly of the spider — it symbolizes the serial number of the operation. In other words, «Network» became the ninth full-scale event of its kind in CS:GO.
And here's what happens if you scratch the sticker almost all the way down.
It seems to be even better than the original version, which is nothing particularly noteworthy.
P.S. almost all of the stickers from «Splintered Web» have a double meaning if you rub them off properly.
Just don't start erasing stickers on every weapon in CS GO now, otherwise you risk being left without exclusive images, which today are valued at dozens or even hundreds of dollars, if not more. We recommend that you look at the legend of a particular sticker on YouTube beforehand, and then evaluate the expediency of your actions.
The last stage of your actions (after 10-15 methodical mouse clicks on the object) will be to confirm the removal of the sticker from the weapon case. Now the space is free again and ready for a new vinyl/metal/holographic «masterpiece», which is piled up in your inventory.
Why we do not see stickers
This question is asked by a large number of newcomers who have just recently bought their first skin with pre-glued pictures. If the cost of the sticker does not exceed 5-10 rubles, and in the game such about 90%, they usually do not even add to the final price tag on the skin. But some not so benevolent players may rub the sticker properly before selling it. In fact, it is there, but hardly visible. In the game it looks like this.
On a pale background it is almost invisible. A prime example of this is — AUG Akihabara, PP-19 Bison Object Drawing and M4A1-S Mechano-Gun. It's better to get rid of these remnants and stick something more appropriate in style.
In some cases, even brightly colored stickers are unnoticeable because the skin itself «crushes» third-party images. There are hardly any stickers in nature that will look harmoniously on the AWP Prince, M4A1-S Second Player or AK-47 Legion of Anubis. The latter is not allowed to be decorated with anything «».
Is it worth sticking?
You've already realized how stickers in CS:GO are erased, but is it necessary to put them there at all? Let's not argue, there are a lot of monochrome skins in the game, which literally ask to decorate themselves with something. Take for example P250 Snowdrift from the screenshots above. But if you think about it, such «canvases» not so much, and handmade modification of weapons in this way is not always in their favor.
Imagine what would happen if you put a couple or three stickers like «Grozny», «Spitfire» or «Trump Aces».
on AWP Legend of the Dragon.
The picture would be ruined instantly. And that's considering that the cheapest and most battered Dragon Lore will cost you $1500.
We don't mind stickers. More for aesthetics and appropriateness. And if you get your hands on something really worthwhile from a rare capsule in the vein of the Boston 2018 Legends Autograph Capsule or, much cooler, the EMS Katowice 2014 Challangers — hold on to the last one. The price for them is constantly growing, and the demand is increasing.
