You can now trade 10 customised weapons in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for a single Arms Deal case. Last month saw the launch of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s Arms Deal system which brought lots of customised versions of the game’s guns to a virtual market. You could by the guns by the caseload or individually from the marketplace.
A patch released yesterday lets you trade 10 assorted weapons skins for a case of similarly themed skins.
If you’re getting weighed down in weapon skins but they’re all from different collections you may want to trade them in and get a single case of like-styled weapon skins. That option’s now open to you. According to the Counter-Strike blog, “The Arms Deal Contract will allow you to exchange 10 Arms Deal Collection items of identical quality for a single Arms Deal Collection item of a quality one tier higher.”
If you pop over to your Counter-Stike inventory you can make the trade there.
The patch also balanced and fixed some bugs, too. Here are the details:
