Skins

______________________________________________

Weapon Quality | Paint quality | Available skins

Skins are a new feature in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, introduced in the Arms Deal update. They are weapons with different textures, and are completely cosmetic, holding no gameplay function. However, their different colours and textures can be used as a slight tactical advantage or disadvantage in some circumstances.

To acquire a skin, one must either:

1. Earn them though random drops by playing in online community and official servers.

2. "Uncrate" them from opening weapon and promotional crates.

3. Trading with other players. Buying skins from the Steam Market is considered a trade.

Also, some variants include a StatTrak device, a counter that shows the total amount of kills aquired with the weapon by the current owner.. Holding the [F] key (default) will allow the player to 'inspect' the gun in greater detail and allow you to gain a better view of your StatTrak counter.

Access to the inventory is unavailable when you are alive and after the warm-up in Competitive game modes for tactical imbalance reasons.

Weapon Quality
_____________________________ _________________

Weapons skins come in 7 different quality grades, generally signifying their rarity and value.

Consumer Grade
Industrial Grade
Mil-Spec Grade
Restricted
Classified
Covert
Contraband
★ (Knife)

In the Steam Market, all skins are in white with the exception of the knives in Purple and the StatTrak weapons in Orange.

Paint quality
_____________________________ _________________

Items come in a random paint quality when they are dropped or uncrated.
The paint quality hierarchy is the following, from worst exterior to best:

1. Battle-Scarred
2. Well-Worn
3. Field-Tested
4. Minimal Wear
5. Factory New

There is currently no way to refresh the paint of a weapon.
Note also that a weapon will not degrade over time; a weapon skin will stay in that state forever.

Steam Workshop

______________________________________________

The Steam Workshop (or Maps Workshop), is a database for uploading and subscribing to custom maps in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The tool had been previously implemented in other games and was introduced to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on February 7, 2013, along with the map Assault.
Some of the more popular maps were included with Operation Payback. According to Valve, future "operations" are planned.

Another future feature are for players to publish their own skins and weapon models on the workshop.
