Where I Send All My Friends to Learn About CS2 Skins Now

[42Duggg]

I’ve gotten a few friends into CS2 lately, and naturally they’re all asking about skins. Instead of trying to explain the difference between Factory New and Battle-Scarred for the tenth time, I want to just send them a good guide that covers everything — float, rarity, patterns, and so on. Do you guys know of a resource that’s beginner-friendly but still complete?

Most of the stuff I find online is either too basic or dives into complex trading strategies that confuse new players more than they help.

Oh man, I had the exact same situation! My cousin joined CS2 and was like, “why does this gun look scratched?” So instead of typing a whole lecture, I just shared this link with him https://dmarket.com/cs2-wiki/. It’s such a clean, easy-to-follow guide — covers all the basics like skin wear levels, trade-ups, rarity grades, and even security tips to avoid scams. Honestly, I wish I’d had this when I was starting. Now I send it to anyone who asks me skin questions — it’s like handing them a starter manual for CS2 cosmetics.
