CS2 Armory Pass: Unlock Weapon Charms, New Weapon Collections, and Additional Features

2024/10/03

Thanks to the CS2 Armory Pass, weapon charms have finally been introduced into the game, a feature players have eagerly anticipated. After the first anniversary of the title passed without any updates, many fans speculated that Valve may have abandoned the shooter for Deadlock. However, the developer has released a fresh update, featuring Armory Passes that include over 100 new items, weapon cases, and unique weapon charms.

The latest update from Valve has added a variety of new cosmetics to CS2. These cosmetics are accessible through the Armory Pass, which differs from passes in other games. Players can stack up to five Armory Passes at the same time and progress on all of them simultaneously.

Curious about how to make progress in the Armory Pass? The answer is straightforward: simply play more CS2. Every time players earn XP, they accumulate Armory credits to use towards their Armory Pass.

The current Armory Pass features three new weapon collections, two sticker collections, the Gallery Case, the Heat Treated Desert Eagle, and two charm collections.

Items and Weapon Charms Available in the CS2 Armory Pass

It’s important to note that only players with Prime Status can access the Armory Pass. Below is a comprehensive list of all items and weapon charms available through the Armory Pass:
