In Counter-Strike 2, teams have informal role divisions, with some roles existing only on defense or offense. One such role is the anchor—a player who holds a site by default and is the first to face an enemy push. Today, the CS.MONEY Blog won’t dive into CS2 tactics but instead offers a stylish inventory for an anchor.

The CT side’s signature color in CS2 is blue, so we chose a blue knife. With dozens of options available, we settled on the Huntsman Knife Doppler Phase 3. Its advantages? Blue, beautiful, and relatively affordable—a perfect 3/3 for an anchor’s inventory.
Specialist Gloves Field Agent
