Stickers are a beloved feature in Counter-Strike 2, allowing players to personalize their weapons with team logos, player autographs, or unique designs. However, with skins constantly changing hands on the marketplace, you may end up with a weapon that has stickers you’re not too fond of. That’s where CS2’s sticker scraping mechanic becomes useful.
This handy feature lets you partially or fully remove stickers from your skins, but it’s important to use it with caution, especially since both skins and stickers can have significant value.
Step-by-Step: How to Scrape Stickers in CS2
If you’re ready to adjust or remove a sticker from your weapon, here’s how to do it:
- Open Your Inventory: Locate the weapon skin that features the sticker you want to modify or remove.
- Right-Click the Weapon: This opens a context menu with various options.
- Select “Scrape Sticker”: Once selected, you’ll see a slider that lets you adjust how much of the sticker is removed.
- Set the Scrape Level: Move the slider to lightly scrape the sticker (which changes its appearance) or go all the way to fully remove it.
Note: Completely scraping a sticker deletes it forever. Given that some CS2 stickers are worth thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars, make sure to check its value before removing it.
In many cases, it might be more profitable to sell the skin with the sticker intact and purchase another version without stickers, rather than risk losing something valuable.
Why Scrape Stickers in CS2?
There are a couple of good reasons why players choose to scrape stickers off their weapons:
- Style Preference: You might simply dislike the sticker or want a cleaner look for your skin.
- Creative Aesthetic: Some players enjoy the faded, worn-out look that comes from partial scraping. It gives the weapon a more unique, distressed appearance.
You can experiment with different scraping levels to achieve a look you like, just avoid removing something rare or expensive unless you’re sure.
Whether you’re refreshing a skin’s appearance or tidying up your loadout, scraping stickers in CS2 can help you personalize your arsenal even further, just make sure you’re not accidentally erasing value.
