Browse all 12 Armory collections and open them for free with real drop rates.
CS2 Armory — Complete Overview
The CS2 Armory was introduced in the October 2024 Armory Update — one of the biggest content updates since CS2's launch. Unlike the Weekly Care Package (which triggers after your first profile rank-up each week), the Armory Pass tracks raw XP directly — you earn 1 Armory Credit for every 300 XP gained on official Valve servers, regardless of your profile rank. You buy the pass for around $15.99, then spend accumulated credits in the Armory store.
One of the Armory's most notable additions is weapon charms — small 3D accessories that dangle from weapons during gameplay. From tiny sausages to miniature figurines, charms quickly became one of CS2's most popular cosmetic additions. The Armory also introduced new weapon skin collections, sticker collections, and spray collections exclusive to the Armory system.
How credits are spent depends on the item type. Weapon cases (like the Gallery or Fever Case) cost 2 credits but still require a $2.50 key to open — credits only buy the sealed container. Skin collections cost 4 credits and give a random skin directly with no key needed. Stickers cost 1 credit and charms cost 3 credits, also with no key. The Armory update had a significant impact on the CS2 skin economy — the introduction of new collections and the trade-up system changes affected skin valuations across the Steam Market. Valve continues to expand the Armory with new seasonal content.
Tips & Information
- You need to buy an Armory Pass (~$15.99) before you can earn credits. Without the pass, you cannot participate in the Armory.
- Credits are earned by raw XP on official Valve servers — exactly 1 credit per 300 XP, independent of profile rank-ups.
- Weapon charms are a brand-new item type introduced with the Armory — small 3D accessories that hang from weapons.
- Weapon cases from the Armory (e.g. Gallery, Fever) cost 2 credits but still need a ~$2.50 key to open. Collections (4 credits), stickers (1 credit), and charms (3 credits) require no key.

Trivia & Fun Facts
- Weapon charms were the first entirely new cosmetic item type added to Counter-Strike since patches in 2019 — and they quickly became a fan favorite.
- The Armory runs alongside the existing Weekly Care Package system — it did not replace it. The Care Package triggers on a weekly profile rank-up, while the Armory tracks raw XP continuously.
- Charm designs range from practical (keychains, dog tags) to absurd (tiny food items, miniature toys), reflecting CS2's playful side.
- The October 2024 Armory Update was one of the largest content updates since CS2 launched in September 2023.
- Armory Credits cannot be traded or sold — they are tied to the account that purchased the Armory Pass.

How do I earn Armory Credits?
First, you need to purchase an Armory Pass (~$15.99). Once activated, you earn exactly 1 Armory Credit for every 300 XP gained on official Valve servers — tracked continuously by raw XP, not by profile rank-ups. Those credits are then spent in the Armory on the item type of your choice.
Is the Armory free or do I need to pay?
The Armory is not free. You must purchase an Armory Pass (around $15.99) to start earning credits. Without the pass, you cannot earn or spend Armory Credits. Once you have the pass, credits are earned through gameplay. Note that weapon cases obtained from the Armory still require a ~$2.50 key to open, while collections, stickers, and charms do not need a key.
