The latest update for Counter-Strike 2 has added the brand-new Armoury Pass system, which lets players redeem a tonne of new cosmetic items through playing the game. If you want to know how it all works and what you can get, here's everything worth learning.
What are Armoury Passes?
Armoury Passes are a new feature in CS2 that functions in some ways like a battle pass, letting you earn cosmetic items.
Essentially, while you purchase and activate an Armoury Pass, you can earn credits by playing the game; the max amount of credits per pass is 40, but you can stack five passes at once and progress on them all.
Credits you earn can be redeemed on exclusive items in the Armoury. Here are all the rewards that can be redeemed currently:
|
Item |
Credit Cost |
|
Heat Treated Desert Eagle |
25 Armoury Credits |
|
Overpass 2024 Collection (random skin) |
4 Armoury Credits |
|
Graphic Collection (random skin) |
4 Armoury Credits |
|
Sport & Field Collection (random skin) |
4 Armoury Credits |
|
Missing Link Charms (random charm) |
3 Armoury Credits |
|
Small Arms Charms (random charm) |
3 Armoury Credits |
|
Gallery Case |
2 Armoury Credits |
|
Elemental Craft Stickers (random sticker) |
1 Armoury Credit |
|
Character Craft Stickers (random sticker) |
1 Armoury Credit |
Most of these rewards are based on RNG, like cases, with the case and the Heat Treated Desert Eagle being the only items you purchase with Armoury Credits outright.
All the Charms, skin collections, and sticker collections have rarity tiers, so you're unlikely to get the higher tier items unless you keep spending credits on rolling.
How to activate an Armoury Pass
To activate your Armoury Pass and begin earning credits, you must first purchase one by navigating to the 'Store' tab and selecting 'Armoury'.
Click 'Get A Pass' and click the amount in the bottom right, which will be $16/£12.79. After it's purchased, head over to the 'Inventory', select your pass, and press 'Activate' to begin using it.
Whenever you want to purchase something with credits, return to the 'Armoury' screen and select what you want to buy.
