Types of Inscriptions Commonly Found on CS2 (CS:GO) Skins

If we briefly analyze the CS2 skin history, we can conclude the inscriptions incorporated into weapons’ designs can be categorized into three primary types: cultural and pop-cultural references, game-related references, and humor or sarcasm.

Cultural references can range from national symbols to ancient mythologies, providing a touch of exoticism or authenticity to the skin. Game-related inscriptions may refer to popular CS in-game events, past tournaments, or game mechanics. Finally, some inscriptions simply aim to amuse the holders of the skin with tongue-in-cheek comments or puns.
