In CS2, skin patterns and pattern indexes determine the unique appearance and value of weapon skins. Here's what you need to know:

Types of CS2 Weapon Patterns:

• Static Pattern: Maintains consistent appearance (e.g., USP-S | Kill Confirmed)
• Semi-dynamic Pattern: Shows subtle variations (e.g., AWP | Pink DDPaT)
• Dynamic Pattern: Creates significantly different designs (e.g., AK-47 | Case Hardened)

Pattern Index Explained:

• Each skin has a unique number (1-999)
• Randomly assigned upon creation
• Cannot be changed through trading or modifications
• Determines which part of the skin texture appears

Notable Rare Patterns:

• Features golden-blue color scheme
• Blue patterns are most valuable
