Counter-Strike player breathes new life into the game’s stale trade-up system

For years CS:GO’s skin trade-up system, an ingenious solution for extracting value out of excess skins, has been left untouched, but one forward-thinking player has presented a solution that refreshes the feature ahead of CS2’s launch later in 2023.

The trade-up contract, introduced in 2013 and formerly known as the Arms Deal Contract, is relatively simple: submit 10 skins of the same rarity, and the game will convert them into a single skin of a higher rarity from one of those 10 skin collections at random. The contract was most popular throughout the mid-2010s, with players gathering skins from the Cobblestone collection and trading them up for the elusive AWP Dragon Lore.
