The introduction of weapon charms in CS2 has become a real event for shooter fans. The developer introduced two collections immediately - Missing Link with miniature copies of agents and characters, as well as Small Arms featuring significantly reduced weapons and knives.
With these innovations, CS2 fans have become actively interested in where to buy a CS2 charm. We will elaborate on this, as well as provide more interesting and useful information about new items in the game.
What affects the cost of charms?
Overall, these cosmetic items do not look particularly expensive. The final price largely depends on the pattern. Interestingly, the presence of patterns in charms was a surprise for the gaming community. The same item gets different colors depending on this parameter. Considering the pattern is necessary when buying charms of secret and legendary rarity.
Unlike skins, charms do not wear out. Moreover, they have many more patterns – up to 100,000. Depending on the number of a specific pattern, the coloring of the entire item or its individual part changes. For instance, number 12500 gives a yellow color, number 25000 – green. Between these numbers, the shade will be gradient, gradually transitioning from yellow to green.
You can buy a CS2 charm with different patterns.
Additionally, the effect of the charm changes – for example, it may shine more or, conversely, become more dull. And this also affects the final cost. A clear example – in the image below, with the charm Lil’ SAS.
Using the same Lil' SAS charm, let's consider the numbers of patterns where certain colors dominate:
from 1 to 2000 – shades of red;
from 2001 to 12000 – shades of orange;
from 12001 to 22000 – shades of yellow;
from 22001 to 60000 – shades of green;
from 60001 to 80000 – shades of blue;
from 80001 to 100000 – shades of purple.
In mid-October, the Lil' SAS charm with the very rare pattern #1 was sold to a collector for $814, while its approximate price on the Steam marketplace is $3. It's very difficult to buy a CS2 charm of this type due to the rarity of such a color.
