Frequently Asked Questions
What are covert skins in CS2?
Covert is a rarity grade for CS2 weapon skins, shown in red — which is why players also call them red skins. It is the highest grade a gun skin from a weapon case can have; knives and gloves are rarer still and are listed on their own pages.
What is the cheapest covert skin in CS2?
Right now it is the AK-47 | Aphrodite in Battle-Scarred at $10.21. Prices are live, so the ranking above can change between visits.
How do you get covert skins?
Buy one on a marketplace — each skin page compares the live price across 30+ of them — or unbox one: Valve's published weapon case odds put a Covert drop at 0.64%. A trade-up contract is the third route: ten Classified skins trade up into one Covert skin from the collections the inputs came from.
Is a trade-up cheaper than buying a covert skin?
Sometimes. It depends on what ten Classified inputs cost against the Covert skins they can return. The trade-up calculator works out the expected value of a contract from live prices before you commit.
