Best new CS2 Custom Crafts - Part 1

With the recent release of Counter-Strike 2's "Call to Arms" update, the player base was blessed with the feature to apply up to five stickers on any weapon, with player-specified positioning and rotation. Gone are the days when the community's creativity was limited based on only predetermined sticker placements, and upon us is the boom of artisan crafts and hilarious meme crafts. With the update being not only a month old at the time of writing, but the community has also already been cooking up some amazing crafts... as well as many controversial crafts that we will not be showing (since I want to keep my job :D). Let's dive into some of the highlight CS crafts that the community has been able to unleash with the release of the new sticker placement update!

Best Unique Crafts

Regarding the best unique crafts, we will just scratch the surface of what the CS community has been cooking. Once, the user shared that if you have a Dignitas Katowice 2014 sticker in the 3rd position, you can place a Dead Eye (Holo) on top to create a unique sticker that mimics the Holo version of the Katowice 2014 sticker.

A different user shared his AK Jaguar, where he placed a Furia Paris 2023 sticker covered by Drug War Veteran stickers to make it seem like a second jaguar is hiding from the other. Next, we have a user that used a woxic (Foil) | Katowice 2019 + FalleN | Krakow 2017 + Cloud9 (Holo) | Rio 2022 + NBK (Foil) | Cluj-Napoca 2015 to create a Poké Ball that the anime girl is now holding. Lastly, a user showed off that since you can now rotate stickers, you can match the random placement of the "stickers" featured on the AK Jet Set, which looks much better than the traditional normal placement of stickers on the skin.

Best Mimic Crafts

While an AK Blaze does not actually exist, users can mimic the classic CS skin on an AK Slate using Incineration (Holo) stickers on the front of the weapon. If you are looking for a Howl but don't have the thousands of dollars one costs, you can purchase a cheap M4a4 Red DDPAT and use Baby Howl stickers to create a budget version of one.

Some people have chosen to use the AK Safari Mesh with the Baby Fire Serpent + Stone Scales + Badge of Service + Ancient Beast stickers to create a very SCUFFED version of the AK Fire Serpent. Lastly, if you want to own a Dragon Poor, you can make one using an AWP Safari Mesh with the Battle-Scarred stickers.

Best Meme Crafts

A few of the "SFW" meme crafts that the community has cooked up so far include the "Shadow Wizard Money Gang" AK Nightwise, the M4a4 Asiimov with the Kawaii Killer CT + Poorly Drawn SAS looks like a certain meme... and the p90 Cold Blooded GYATTTT has 4 Terrorized stickers checking out a Kawaii T (Holo). While there are many other meme crafts, these were the only ones safe enough to include in this article without me losing my job.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the release of Counter-Strike 2's "Call to Arms" update has undeniably ignited a surge of creativity within the community, offering players unprecedented freedom in crafting their weapon skins with up to five customizable stickers. The newfound ability to dictate sticker positioning and rotation has paved the way for an impressive array of unique, mimic, and meme crafts that showcase the community's ingenuity and humor. Players have enthusiastically embraced the sticker placement update, from mimicking rare and expensive skins on a budget to crafting clever combinations that breathe new life into familiar designs. As controversies and unconventional creations continue to emerge, one thing is clear – the CS community's artistic spirit and resourcefulness have found a vibrant outlet, leaving us eager to witness what future updates may bring to this dynamic and ever-evolving virtual canvas.
