Creating skins for CS:GO, developers often add details that are not noticeable at first glance, but carry some hidden meaning. For attentive players such elements make the skin even more valuable, because to the attractive appearance can add an interesting story or unusual details.
Many interesting details of this kind are associated with inscriptions on skins. They may not catch the eye, but if you examine the skin carefully, it turns out that behind the combination of letters or words there is a hidden meaning. Sometimes developers of skins for CS:GO include in their creations references to their favorite bands.
.
An example is – SSG 08 Necropos. If you look closely, you will notice on the case the inscription «Hunt them down», which translates to «Hunt them down». This is actually the name of a song performed by the band «Architects». It's enough to turn on this song to make sure: it sets the perfect mood for an intense CS:GO match.
Another funny example – «NaCl get some here», i.e. «Add some NaCl here», on the stock of G3SG1 The Executioner. NaCl – is a designation for salt, and the entire phrase is a reference to the phrase «pour salt on this bird's tail». It is used as a humorous answer to the question of how best to catch a bird. Perhaps G3SG1 The Executioner itself offers a more reliable way to end a bird.
Some of the passhalts become apparent when using the weapon. A prime example – R8 Revolver Bone Forged. This skin, which adorns the revolver's handle with surreal engraving, is noteworthy on its own, but here is the detail that makes it truly remarkable: when reloading, it becomes noticeable that each cartridge has a single word inscription: «Hungry» («Hungry»).
Interesting details can also hide in the pattern itself. For example, FAMAS Crypsis at first glance looks like other skins in «fall» style, with a body decorated with a pattern of leaves and branches. However, if you look closely, you will notice that its surface is not covered with plants, but with insects disguised as them.

Another example of an interesting detail hidden in plain sight – graffiti on M4A1-S Master Piece. Most players perceive it as an abstract pattern with no particular meaning, but it is actually an inscription made up of distorted letters. It reads the word «Silence» - quite an appropriate motto for this weapon.
