The Arms Deal

Introducing the Arms Deal Update, which brings the excitement of black market weapons trafficking to CS:GO without any of the danger. With this update, you can collect, buy, sell, and trade over 100 new decorated weapons to use in the game.

There are multiple ways to obtain these decorated weapons. You can receive timed weapon drops simply by playing CS:GO on official and community servers. Another option is to open dropped weapon cases using the appropriate key. Additionally, you can trade with other players through Steam's Trading interface. And if you have any decorated weapons that you've found, bought, or traded, you can sell them on the Steam Marketplace.

We also wanted to give back to the community with this update. A portion of the proceeds from sales of eSports Case Keys will go towards prize purses at CS:GO community competitive events.

As part of the Arms Deal Update, we've also added two new stock weapons that are available to everyone: the M4A1-S and USP-S.

For more information about the update, you can visit the Arms Deal FAQ. Alternatively, you can jump into the game and see it for yourself. And as always, we value your feedback, so feel free to share your thoughts on the CS:GO forums, Reddit, and the Steam Community Discussions.
