The Armory is CS2’s newest cosmetic store page, but it works a little differently than the market.
TheArmory Passis the newest addition toCounter-Strike 2’s store, and if you remember the ol' CS:GO operations, you’ll be somewhat familiar with grinding out some CS2 and earning some cool skins for your guns.
If you’re new to CS2, or can’t remember exactly how the event pass works, we’re here to help. Here’s how to earn Armory Credits for your purchased Armory Passes in CS2.
How does the Armory Pass work in CS2?
The Armory Pass works similarly to the last couple of CS:GO operations in that you’llpurchase the passand thenearn credits to spend in The Armory. You can only earn credits by purchasing the pass: These credits can’t be bought, sold, or traded. Each pass costs $16 USD.
Amaximum of 40 creditscan be earned with one pass, but Valve has allowed players to earn more by purchasing and stacking multiple passes. Doing so unlocks credits at a faster rate. You can stack up to five passes at once. You must also havePrime statuson your account to buy the Armory Pass.

You can earn Armory Pass EXP by playing any Valve game mode, but you’ll get the most EXP and credits bycompleting Competitive and Premier matches.
