Everyone is familiar with the notion of CS2 weapon skins, which change and improve the appearance of weapons. Do you know what a skin pattern is? This article will tell you what a pattern is, how it works, and much more from what has become a CS2 bestseller.
What Is a Pattern?
Let’s figure out what patterns are. Patterns are randomly created textures. One pattern can appear radically different on a weapon. It is because each image on each weaponry is unique since it can move left, right, flip, and be increased or diminished.
Pattern Number
Their number determines the value of the patterns. The pattern numbering goes from 1 to 999, with each value being unique. The pattern number is assigned to the skin when it is “created” and remains constant during the term of use. It is unaffected by the presence of stickers or the fact that it was sold or swapped. A skin with a specific pattern number has unique properties, such as the predominant shade and color in the image.
Rare Patterns
Because the patterns have precise numbers and appear differently, some skins are rarer and more appealing. This means that their price is proportionately more than that of other wearers of the same design. If you lack the necessary experience, determining a pattern’s rarity can be challenging. As a result, before selecting a skin with a specific design, you should apply a special filter or speak with someone who is more knowledgeable about it. You can start with this guide.
CASE HARDENED PATTERNS
Skins with the Case Hardened pattern combine numerous colors, including gold, blue, silver, and purple. Depending on the skin pattern, any of these tones can be represented, or only one color may be dominant.
- BLUE
The blue design is considered the most rare and valuable. Skins with this design are known as Blue Gems, and they are undoubtedly a dream for every CS2 player. The knife skins are the most expensive pieces in this pattern, while the Karambit| Case Hardened is the most sought-after. The AK-47| Case Hardened with pattern number 661 is the most popular and valuable, followed by the Five-SeveN| Case Hardened with pattern 868 and the MAC-10| Case Hardened with patterns 95, 19, 251, 748, 890, 239.
- GOLD
This pattern is the second rarest. However, we are accustomed to the notion that knife skins are the most sought after, but this time is different. The skin with the most gold – Gold Gem is AK-47| Case Hardened, pattern numbers 219 and 784.
- RAINBOW WITH PURPLE = GALAXY
This pattern’s image mixes all tones from blue to silver, hence the name. The brightest example of this skin is pattern 863. Its upper section is almost entirely gold, while the sides and magazine glimmer in various colors.
- SILVER
The cheapest pattern is silver. It is less expensive than the others because it is not as rare. It is most commonly found on knife or FiveSeven skins. The majority of the skin is silver, with occasional touches of gold or blue.
FADE PATTERNS
The Skins of the Fade design is painted in three different colors: pink, purple, and gold. Knife skins are, unsurprisingly, the most expensive examples of this design.
- MORE vs. LESS FADE
The pattern’s proportion of flesh coverage influences its price and uniqueness. So, the most expensive skin is the FullFade, which provides 100% coverage. In that example, the lower the percentage indicator, the less expensive the skin is. One skin stands out with a covering percentage of 110%: the Falchion knife. This is because the pattern spans both the blade and the handle of the knife.
The shade also determines the price of a Karambit Fade knife. Expensive skin has more pink and gold hues, whereas purple skin is less expensive.
KAMI PATTERN
The colors used in this pattern are black, grey, and white. These are skins with a white backdrop and various pictures on them. The price of a skin with this pattern is determined by the image portrayed on the weapon’s back. The most expensive are those featuring feminine body parts.
SANDSTORM PATTERN
Skins featuring this pattern can be dyed in gold, purple, or a combination of purple and gold. The purely purple skin stands out as the rarest and most expensive choice.
OTHER PATTERNS
Among all skins in CS2 (CS:GO) cases, there are several more popular patterns, such as Slaughetrm, Crimson Web, and Doppler, or rather knife skins with these patterns.
The Slaughetrm pattern’s price and appeal are determined by its texture, which features animal-like motifs. The dog bone image is the cheapest, followed by the phoenix and angel skins. The most expensive patterns are those with hearts and diamonds.
The price of the Crimson Web pattern varies with the number of webs. The number of webs increases the cost of the skin. The pattern with the image of three webs is uncommon; only the pattern with four or more webs might be more valuable. If you have one, consider it a treasure in your possession.
Finally, the Doppler pattern is another popular choice among the gamers. Both color hues and phases determine its pricing. Ruby and sapphire textures are extremely rare, with Black Pearl being the most rare. Patterns with one to four phases are cheaper.
Patterned Charms
Charms in CS2 also contain pattern numbers, which function similarly to skin patterns but have a wider range of 0 to 100,000 because charms lack Float Values. In Counter-Strike 2, the pattern number affects the appearance of all charms. Some charms contain slight variances, while others have more obvious ones.
The initial release consists of two primary collections: Missing Link Charms and Small Arms Charms.
Missing Link Charms are unique sausage-like characters. Small Arms Charms are miniature versions of iconic CS2 weapons.
