CS:GO is known for its FPS gameplay and its cosmetic skins. While the focus of the game is mainly on shooting, many players have side interests in the game. One such interest is collecting skins for weapons in the game. Valve offers players a plethora of weapons to pick from and each of them comes with a bunch of skins. While the skins are purely cosmetic and don’t make an impact on the gameplay, they are extremely sought out in the community.

That being said, the skins range over a price range from single-digit numbers to multiple thousands of dollars. While most skins come at an affordable price range, there are some skins that are strictly for dedicated collectors considering their price point. One incident that was recorded and posted online was where a player put 4 cosmetic stickers on a gun, making it worth more than houses.

Recently, a video surfaced online of the most expensive craft currently possible in the game. The gun in topic was the M4A1-S. To begin with, the gun was skinned with a Factory New StatTrack Printstream skin. The StatTrack version of the gun comes with a special feature to count the kills achieved using the gun. It is also to be noted that beyond factory new; the skin came in with a float of 0.0006, which indicates an exceptionally well-preserved condition of the gun.

The uploaded video shows a CS trader applying $320,000 in Titan Katowice stickers to the gun, making it the most expensive build ever made. This news absolutely blew the community away as many believed it was ridiculous to invest so much money in a digital sticker. It is to be noted that the combination of the skin with the stickers is the most expensive combination, considering the price of the skin and the stickers together.

While this gun was the reason for many players dropping their jaw, many went on to question the gun maker as to where they got the money for such an expense.

Fans are flabbergasted by the M4A1-S

The comments section of the post was flooding in with players asking the weapon owner how and why they put so much money into a video game.

The top comment stated how such an occurrence has happened in the past where a player put 4 Titan (Holo) stickers on a field-tested Case Hardened AK-47, costing the gun maker around $180,000.

One player got up another expensive skin and questioned why the Blue Phosphorus wasn’t used in the build.

A comment that got a lot of attention was the one where the original poster was hilariously asked if the trader had a sponsor.

A player stated that they believe the CS trader comes from money and also works as a software engineer to be able to afford the gun.
