FAQ: Customization Loadouts & Weapons

Questions about loadouts, weapons, knives, gloves, and item customization.

Loadouts

What is a loadout?

A loadout is a complete configuration of your in-game items, including:

  • Weapon skins (all weapon types)
  • Knife skins (T and CT side)
  • Glove skins (T and CT side)
  • Agents (T and CT side)
  • Music kit
  • Pin collection

Can I have multiple loadouts?

Yes! You can create unlimited loadouts (e.g., "Competitive", "Casual", "Red Theme"). Switch between them instantly.

How do I create a new loadout?

  1. Click the loadout selector
  2. Click "New Loadout"
  3. Enter a name
  4. Click "Create"

Your new loadout is now active and ready to customize.

Can I rename or delete loadouts?

Yes, use the loadout selector menu to:

  • Rename: Click edit icon → Enter new name → Save
  • Delete: Click delete icon → Confirm (you must have at least one loadout)

Why can't I delete my last loadout?

You must always have at least one loadout. Create a new loadout before deleting the last one.


Weapon Customization

What can I customize on weapons?

For most weapons:

  • Skin: Choose from thousands of available skins
  • Float Value: Wear from 0.00 (Factory New) to 1.00 (Battle-Scarred)
  • Pattern Seed: Affects pattern placement (0-1000)
  • StatTrak™: Enable kill counter
  • Name Tag: Custom weapon name
  • Stickers: Up to 5 stickers per weapon
  • Keychains: Attach keychains (CS2 feature)

What is float value?

Float value determines the wear condition of a skin, ranging from 0.00 (Factory New - cleanest) to 1.00 (Battle-Scarred - most worn). Lower float values generally look better.

What is pattern seed?

Pattern seed affects how the skin pattern is placed on the weapon. This is especially important for certain skins like Case Hardened, Fade, and Marble Fade where different patterns can have significantly different appearances.

What are Doppler phases?

Doppler skins have different color variations (phases) that are determined by the pattern seed. Some phases (like Ruby, Sapphire, and Black Pearl) are rarer and more valuable than others.

How do I add stickers to weapons?

  1. Select a weapon
  2. Click on a sticker slot
  3. Search for your desired sticker
  4. Click to apply it
  5. Save your changes

You can add up to 5 stickers per weapon.

Can I position stickers precisely?

Yes! Use the Visual Customizer for advanced sticker positioning with drag-and-drop, rotation, and scaling controls.

What is StatTrak™?

StatTrak™ is a feature that adds a kill counter to your weapon. In CS2Inspect, you can enable StatTrak™ and set a custom kill count value.

Can I add name tags to weapons?

Yes, you can add custom name tags to most weapons. Enter your desired name in the name tag field when customizing the weapon.


Knives & Gloves

How do knives work?

Knives:

  • Separate for T and CT sides
  • Many models (Karambit, Butterfly, M9 Bayonet, etc.)
  • Full skin customization
  • Float value and pattern seed support
  • StatTrak™ and name tag support

Select the knife model first, then choose the skin and customize.

How do gloves work?

Gloves:

  • Team-specific (T and CT side)
  • No StatTrak™ support
  • No name tags
  • Float value affects wear
  • Pattern seed affects pattern placement

Choose glove model first, then select skin.


An inspect link is a special URL from CS2 that contains encoded item data. You can get inspect links from:

  • Steam Community Market
  • CS2 in-game (right-click item → Copy Inspect Link)
  • Player inventories
  • Trading websites

What are masked and unmasked URLs?

There are two types of inspect links:

  • Masked URLs: Contain all item data encoded directly in the link (common on Steam Market)
  • Unmasked URLs: Reference an item in someone's inventory (used for player inventory items)

Both types can be imported into CS2Inspect.

  1. Copy inspect link from CS2 or Steam Market
  2. Click "Import from Inspect Link"
  3. Paste URL
  4. Click "Import"
  5. The item configuration will be loaded into your loadout

Common issues:

  • Link is incomplete or corrupted
  • Item is no longer in the inventory (for unmasked links)
  • Backend server cannot connect to Steam
  • Invalid item data in the link

Try a different link or check with your administrator.
