Have you ever wanted a complete arsenal of skins without breaking the bank? You’re in luck. In the latest Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) update called “Fire Sale,” VALVE introduced a new option to acquire multiple weapon skins at a low price.
This new feature, Rent a Collection, has been introduced with the latest release, the Kilowatt Case. With this new function, you can rent the 17 skins contained in the case for an incredibly low price.
Acquiring skins in Counter-Strike can be complex and sometimes expensive. In search of a more convenient and economical option, VALVE has recently provided the tactical shooter community with a practical way to play their matches with amazing skins at a low price. The developer has achieved this through the new skin rental system. Here’s how it works:
How the CS2 Skin Rental System Works
Starting from Thursday, May 23, CS2 features a new skin rental system. For the price of a key, $2.49 USD, Counter-Strike 2 now offers the option to rent the 17 skins from the Kilowatt Collection, excluding the rare item (Kukri Knife). Here’s a step-by-step guide to using this new feature:
Step-by-Step Guide to Renting Skins
- Obtain the Kilowatt Case:
- You can purchase the Kilowatt Case from the Steam Market.
- Alternatively, you might get it for free with some luck and following this guide.
- Purchase the Key:
- The key costs $2.49 USD.
- Once you have the key and the case, you can proceed to the next step.
- Rent the Skins:
- Instead of simply opening the case, CS2 will now offer the option to rent the skins temporarily.
- Your key and case will unlock the 17 skins from the collection for 7 days.
- These skins will appear in your inventory and be usable in all game modes during this time.
Utilizing Your Rented Skins
During the rental period, the skins will be fully available in your inventory. Make sure to take full advantage of them in all your games, as they will disappear after the 7-day period.
Benefits of the Skin Rental System
This rental option is VALVE’s response to players who:
- Don’t want to buy a permanent skin.
- Prefer to spend their remaining funds on a more comprehensive option.
Remember, you can always choose to try your luck and open the case in the classic way, obtaining a random permanent skin from the collection.
Current and Future Availability
At the moment, this rental option is only available for the Kilowatt Case. However, it is expected that this feature will be available with the release of new cases and collections. There is even hope that it might extend to older CS collections.
Final Toughts
The skin rental system in Counter-Strike 2 offers a fantastic opportunity for players to enjoy a wide variety of skins without the high cost.
Whether you’re a casual player or a dedicated fan, this new feature provides a flexible and affordable way to enhance your gaming experience. Keep an eye out for future updates, as more cases and collections are expected to include this rental option.
