The In-Game "Currency":
Skins

What Are Skins?

In CS, just like in almost all the other online games, you can buy stuff. And honestly what else would you buy, then customizations and designs for your weapons and characters? Skins offer a great way to customize and make your weapons look better. In the new game, because of the improved graphics, they look even nicer. There are skins for every weapon in the game, so they offer a wide variety for each one. These skins can be bought from other players or opened from boxes, but one thing is for certain, it is gonna be expensive if you want the best looking skins.

Graphic Revamps and Prices

With the release of CS2, the game has undergone many many graphic changes, and it was (qualitywise) for the better. Each maps' lighting looks incredible, and so does the new appearance of skins. Many thought that this would give extra value to the skins and cosmetics in the game, but sadly it didn't. With the game being elss responsive and not brining enough new players, there is less of a demand for skins, and so prices has only fallen. This doesn't mean every single weapon is worthless, there are still rare collectors' items, which are ridiculously expensive. The most expensive skin in the game was sold for $400,000. Insane.

Trade-ups

You can still, you always could trade up skins for better ones. It works like so: You select 10 skins of your choice from the same grade (usually ones you don't need) and you get 1 skin of the tier above the ones you selected. Not many people use this, since it's mostly useless and pointless to do, but you could get some profit out of these trades, if you trade in the right waepons and have enough luck. However, it's usually not profitable long-term.
