Pokemon comes to Counter-Strike 2 with amazing Poke Ball sticker craft
Valve / PokemonThanks to the new sticker placement update in CS2, players have been letting their creative juices run wild, with one of the most impressive crafts yet brilliantly depicting a “gotta catch ’em all” Poke Ball on the M4A4.
In the first major content update for Counter-Strike 2, Valve shocked everyone in the skins community by allowing five stickers on every weapon, as well as the ability to place stickers anywhere and in any orientation.
This immediately opened the floodgates to endless possibilities for creative ‘crafts’ – where players apply stickers in an artistic or clever way.
One of the most impressive so far is this Pokemon-inspired creation, using the M4A4 Temukau skin, one of the few anime-style skins in CS2.
Pokemon craft in CS2 is perfectly executed
The character on the Temukau is already reaching out as if to grab something, making for the perfect template for a “gotta catch ’em all” craft. We’ve already seen people apply other stickers like Burgers or 8Ball here for the same effect.
But, thanks to the new sticker update, a combination of five stickers creates a brilliant Poke Ball look, and it’s not even expensive to create.
Using any red Katowice 2019 foil, a grey Krakow 2017 paper, and a Cluj-Napoca foil, you can make a simple yet effective Poke Ball look. While you could do this on any skin, it obviously looks like it was made specially for the M4A4 Temukau.
It’s not clear who exactly came up with this craft idea first, as there are now a total of at least 10 in existence using the FalleN Krakow sticker, according to skins database CSfloat.
CSFloatSince the sticker update in CS2 is barely even a week old, we’re probably only scratching the surface of what is possible.
Unfortunately, this limitless creativity has also led to some players creating offensive words or imagery too, although this was certainly to be expected.
