How the menu works

What a player sees, step by step, from the chat command to the new skin in their hands. Share this page with your players.

  1. 1

    Open the menu

    Type !skins or !inv in chat. The menu opens over the game with a mouse cursor; the match keeps running behind it. Section shortcuts such as !knife, !gloves or !agents open straight on that page.

    The first page is your loadout: the T side on the left, CT on the right. Each card shows what's equipped now. Click one to change it.

    Choose the team

    The T / CT / Both switch at the top left decides where your next change goes. Leave it on Both to use the same skin on each side, or pick a team for a split loadout: a Karambit on T and a Butterfly on CT, for example.

  3. 3

    Find the item

    Pick a category on the left: knives, gloves, agents, a gun type, music kits, pins or pets. Lists scroll with the mouse wheel. Narrow them with the rarity chips, sort by rarity or name, or search.

    Inside a gun type you can open one weapon, or All skins for every gun of that type with a chip per weapon.

    Search with the keyboard or in chat

    Click Search and an on-screen keyboard appears. Words can be in any order. If you'd rather use your real keyboard, type the search in chat and press Enter: the line goes to the menu and nobody else sees it. The same works for name tags.

    Fine-tune the skin

    Clicking a skin opens the editor. Set the wear with the FN to BS buttons, nudge it by 0.01 or 0.001, or type the exact float. Change the pattern seed, turn StatTrak™ on, add a name tag, fill up to five sticker slots and hang a charm.

    Star the skin to keep it in Favourites.

  6. 6

    Press Apply

    The item swaps in your hands immediately and a message at the top confirms it. You don't respawn, reconnect or type anything. The change is saved for your next visit while you keep playing.

  7. 7

    Save it as a preset

    Happy with a loadout? Save both teams as a preset under Presets, and switch between whole setups in one click later. Randomise gives you a surprise loadout; Reset everything goes back to default items. Both ask first.

  8. 8

    Get a pet

    Under Pets, pick a chick, a hen or an egg to follow you around the map. Give it a random look, a hat, or make it do an emote.
