You have several irrelevant skins in your inventory, don’t you? It’s time to put them to work! Our skin changer allows you to trade your skins into desired items in just a few steps. Read on to learn them.
What is Skin Changer?
Skin changer is an item upgrade mechanic found at CS2 case-opening sites. It has a huge advantage over CS2-integrated contracts. When you change skin, you pick a desired item, eliminating the role of chance in an upgrade process.
How Does CS2 Skin Changer Work?
Skin changer trades items with the same prices. Thus, if you want to get a $50 skin, you must input skins of the same total worth. Can’t fit the price? Many case-opening sites allow you to increase your items’ prices via bonus currency (inherent to specific sites) or money.
A traded item goes into your case-opening site’s account. Further, you can transfer it into your Steam or input it into other site mechanics. For example, you can sell your new item and open cases. Or you can input it into the skin changer again to get even better skin.
Step-By-Step Guide on Using a CS2 Skin Changer
If you’re just getting familiar with upgrading skins and case-opening sites, you might be thinking, “How to upgrade skins?” Let’s answer this question by breaking down the process into steps:
- Find a changer site. A mere Google search will provide you with multiple platforms. When picking one, ensure it’s safe by checking its independent reviews at sites like Trustpilot. Don’t want to waste time doing that? You can go back to the beginning of this page and follow a link to the skin-changer site;
- Sign up. Click the “Sign Up” button in the corner of the website. The site will transition you to a Steam log-in page, where you must indicate your Steam login and password. Confirm an account access through a Steam-connected email;
- Enter a skin changer page. You can often locate it at the upper part of the site’s interface;
- Pick items. Select items that you want from the site (use a search bar for quicker results). To the left side of the changer menu, pick items from your inventory that you want to trade. Ensure they’re as close to the desired item’s price;
- Use bonus currency or cash to gather enough total price. If the desired item costs more than your skins, equate total prices with bonus currency or cash;
- Confirm the process by clicking “Exchange;”
Congratulations! You’ve just learned how to turn your irrelevant items into a desired skin. You will find your reward in your inventory. To extract it into your Steam account, request an item withdrawal, and a trading boot will soon deliver your skin to you.
When Should You Apply a Skin Changer?
Obviously, a skin changer is a good way to get rid of your irrelevant skins. Why not just sell them? It isn’t even close to the fun you receive from using a skin changer.
You can also use a skin changer to fish for limited items. Let’s take AWP Dragon Lore as an example. This skin is no longer available from Cobblestone souvenir case drops, which makes it incredibly rare. Dragon Lore is a rare guest on the Steam Market. However, you may get this skin from other sources, like case-opening sites, and a skin changer will help you with that.
First, ensure a site holds the desired skin. To do so, open a skin changer tab and use a search bar to check the item’s availability. Is it in? Then, you want to match its price with your items and conduct an exchange.
Skin Changer Alternatives
There are several ways to exchange your skin besides a skin changer. First is a classic CS2 contract. It allows you to trade 10 items from your inventory for a single random item that is more likely to be of a similar collection and rarity as traded items.
Next is player-to-player trading. It’s basically the same thing as a skin changer, but you get your item from a player, not a case-opening site. P2P trading doesn’t allow increasing your item’s prices with cash or bonus currency. Therefore, P2P trades are often unequal.
Finally, you have skin upgrades at case-opening sites. Just like changing, upgrading allows you to pick the items you want to upgrade and the items you want to receive. However, the upgrade chance isn’t always 100%. The less your upgraded items cost than your desired skin, the lower your chances of success. So, there’s a bit of gambling here.
