With the first big update to Counter-Strike 2, Valve has introduced changes to how stickers work. With the new update players can now put up to five stickers on their skins, no matter the weapon type. Before the update, only two stickers were possible. In addition one can now also choose compleltly freely where the sticker is supposed to go. Instead of having predefined spots you now have endless possiblities. We show you some extraordinary and exoctic crafts that are now possible.
Fake M4A4 Howl Craft
With being the only contraband skin in the game, the M4A4 Howl comes with a hefty price tag. For users who want to play a skin that looks similar to it, but is not as expensive, this “Fake Howl” might be a good idea.
With five “Baby Howl” stickers you can recreate the look of the original howl without spending too much money. The sticker normally costs less thann three euro. In terms of the weapon skin you can choose between the M4A4 Converter, Radiation Hazard and RED DDPAT. The RED DDPAT is the most expensive one, but also looks the best.
Fake Fire Serpent sticker craft
The fake Howl craft is a long time classic at this point. But did you know, that you can also create your own Fire Serpent without having to spend a fortune? It does not look as convincing as the fake Howl, but might be the perfect addition to your fake skins collection.
Simply take your default AK or an AK-47 Cartel as a base skin. We then need a “Baby Fire Serpent“, three “Imperial Esports Antwerp 2022” and a single “Stone Scales (Foil)” sticker.
Recreating a classic: Water Elemental Craft
The idea for this craft already existed before the “A Call To Arms” update. But with the new possiblities it can look even better now. Simply put three “Surf’s Up” stickers on top of the Glock-18 Water Elemental and two shark stickers below. In this case we used a “Baited” sticker as well as a “Sharks Esports | Stockholm 2021” one.
The upgraded M4A4 Temukau
We have one more M4A4 craft for you, this one is based on the Temukau skin. The skin got a small “upgrade” with two stickers from the new “Ambush Sticker Capsule”. The “Bum A Smoke” and “Loving Eyes (Holo)” stickers were put on the displayed characters head. In addition to that it looks like the character hold a “Magic Rush Ball” sticker in his hands.
USP-S | Polar Bear
This craft is not really exciting but simply shows the endless opportunities to create something unique with the latest updates to stickers in Counter-Strike 2. For example putting five of the “Nelu the Bear” stickers behind each other is pretty cute and rare craft.
Running away from the Queen
Another funny combination of stickers can be created on the Glock-18 Bullet Queen. By putting a “Speedy T” sticker in the front of the gun and a few stickers from the “Pinups Capsule” in the back, you can make it look like the terrorist is running away from the bullet and the “queens”.
New Zeus Crafts
The new Kilowatt Case also introduced a skin for the Zeus x27 called “Olympus”. Since you can put stickers whereever you want, the most popular is the one in the Zeus’ electric fist. In this case the brand new “Angry T” sticker gets struck by Zeus’ lightning.
A perfect match: Oxide Oasis with Apeks stickers
Also really popular are the orange Apeks stickers. In this case their Holo versions are put on the handle of a MP5-SD | Oxide Oasis. With the changing colors of the Holos they match the color scheme of the skins itself perfectly.
Upgraded M4A1-S Nitro
We already showed you how to use the Apeks Holo stickers, but what about the normal ones? They perfectly fit the M4A1-S Nitro skin, since they almost have the exact same color as the orange elements on the gun itself. You can create some unique patterns with the Apeks stickers to make the Nitro look a bit more special.
The SkinBaron craft
Our last craft shows more of the possibilities you now have with stickers in Counter-Strike 2. By combining different player autographs and team logos you can for example write your own name.
