The Armory update has become the largest in the history of Counter-Strike 2, and the three new collections available in the pass are sure to find their fans. Today, CS.MONEY Blog will tell you about the exclusive skins in the Armory Pass, which can only be obtained by farming stars.
If you don’t want to grind for a cool skin or rely on luck, you can head over to CS.MONEY, where all of these skins will be available as soon as Valve lifts trade and display restrictions.
Desert Eagle Heat Treated, The New CS2 Case Hardened
The main reward of the Armory Pass is the Desert Eagle Heat Treated, which closely resembles the Case Hardened skin and costs 25 stars. The catch? It’s time-limited and will only be available for 100 days. This skin’s patterns feature blue, gold, and purple, with significant visual differences between variations.
So far, 37 so-called Blue Gem patterns have been identified, where the concentration of blue exceeds 80%. Among the most prestigious are patterns 490, 69, and 567. Pattern 103 has the highest amount of gold.
