Stickers in CS2 allow players to personalize their arsenal and give their favorite skins a unique touch, more so with the recent update. Valve finally heard our prayers and made it possible to place stickers anywhere on a weapon model. Now, players can express themselves not only by headshots and wallbangs, but also by creating unique weapon skins, all thanks to the new update. Players who want to refresh their favorite skins with a new set of stickers should scrape the old ones first. Wonder how to do it? Read in this week’s Skin.Land article.

Does Scraping Stickers Damage Gun in CS:GO?

Luckily for all of us, no. Scraping stickers will not alter your skin’s quality in any way. Scraping stickers only affects the very sticker you’re trying to peel off or make it have a vintage look.

How Many Times Can You Scrape a Sticker in CS:GO?

You can scrape a sticker up to 10 times in CS:GO and CS2. Each scrape will progressively wear down the sticker, making it look more faded and worn out. After the maximum number of scrapes, the sticker will still remain on the weapon, but it will be very faded. Keep in mind that scraping a sticker is a permanent action and cannot be undone, so each scrape should be considered carefully.

Best CS:GO/CS2 Scraped Stickers

The scraping mechanism allowed to implement a couple of interesting Easter eggs, where one could scrape a few layers to reveal a different graphic underneath. For example, upon scraping all color off a First Blood sticker, poor dino will reveal its prehistoric skeleton. Just with a few scratches, a Welcome To Clutch sticker will reveal what it’s really like to endure all the trauma caused by competitive matchmaking. These are one of the best CS:GO-era scraped stickers.
