How to Get Free CS2 Skins

This may look like a clickbait title, a scam, or some other form of trickery, but we are 100% serious; it is possible to get free CS2 skins, and it has been for a very long time. Whether you want to switch it up from the dull default skins or flex on your teammates and enemies in-game, this is the perfect guide for getting free CS2 skins. You should, however, note that these aren’t going to be free AWP | Dragon Lores or Karambit Blue Gems, but somewhat cheaper skins that still elevate the aesthetics of your weapons. All you need to start getting free skins is a Steam account, $15, and a few hours per week to play CS. Now, without wasting more of your precious time, let’s dive into how you can get free CS2 skins.

Download CS2

This is the logical first step in getting free skins, and it should go without saying that you need to have CS2 on your computer to get skins. This means that Mac users and users on older, incompatible operating systems cannot use this method to get free skins.

Buy the Prime Status Upgrade for CS2

If you have yet to play CS2 or still haven’t upgraded to the Prime status, you will need to do so to get free skins. The upgrade is a one-time payment of $15 that will allow you to earn free items and free money(Steam balance) weekly, and don’t worry; it pays itself back after just a couple of weeks. Along with this, it will make your game experience much better and open up many additional opportunities for competitive play. Unlike other games that require subscription services, in-game currencies, or market payments to buy skins, CS allows you to earn simply by playing, and all you need is the Prime Status Upgrade. To purchase the upgrade:

• Go to Steam
• Search for Counter-Strike 2 in the store or click here.
• Scroll down until you see the Buy Prime Status Upgrade button.
• Click “Add to Cart” to purchase the upgrade. You will need $14.99 in your Steam balance or $14.99 to purchase the upgrade. But remember, this pays itself back in just a few weeks, so think of this more as an investment than anything.
• Now you have Prime Status. Relaunch your game, and you will be all set to go!

Play CS2

From here, all you have to do to earn free skins is play CS2! Every week, you will be eligible for a weekly “Weekly Care Package,” where you can select two drops from 4 options. These drops include one guaranteed case and either two graffitis and one skin or two skins and one graffiti. We suggest always selecting the case, as it is practically guaranteed to be the most expensive drop, and then whichever one of the skins you like the most. After choosing the items, they are instantly transferred to your inventory. If you don’t like what you receive, you can always sell the items on the Steam Community Market and buy any skin you want using the balance you earn. Every weekly drop is worth around $1, and you have a (very low) chance of gaining items worth upwards of $100 combined! After two weeks, you will pay back your initial $15 investment, and from here, you will earn free CS skins without spending additional money. After years of playing, you will have collected $100s simply from playing the game.

Additional Ways to Earn Free CS2 Skins

If this system is too time-consuming for you, or you want to get more expensive skins(albeit with guaranteed chances of getting anything), there are also some additional ways to earn free CS2 skins. However, we should note that these methods cannot always be trusted, and the process above is the only foolproof way to earn free CS2 skins.

Enter Giveaways

Giveaways are a great way to earn much more expensive skins without spending any money. You can find tons of giveaways on X/Twitter, and many will require you to follow them, watch videos, join a Discord server, or do other tasks, but make sure you are only joining and participating in trustworthy giveaways. Don’t click links claiming to be giveaways, especially if they ask you to log into Steam. These sites are almost always phishing links and will steal your skins/steam account. The best giveaways are giveaways that only require you to interact with a tweet or show proof of watching a video.

We host tons of giveaways on our own X account as well! Follow us at @SkinLords for giveaways worth hundreds of dollars per week!

BE SAFE!

When you are looking to get free CS2 skins, make sure you only use trustworthy sites and enter safe giveaways. Many sites try to trick players into giving away their Steam credentials by luring them with free skins, so make sure you only log into Steam on sites that you know are completely safe. When you do log in with Steam, make sure it is a real Steam login link and not a similar-looking phishing link.
