The update named The Armory, released in 2024, added not only a significant number of skins for various types of weapons but also introduced a new type of cosmetic items – keychains, or charms. They drop from special capsules and can be attached to any point of the weapon. Currently, there are two series of charms in the game – Small Arms, which are miniature weapon models, and Missing Link – little figures with various designs.
While most charms can be found for sale for a dollar or less, some of them have gained significant value. Here are some keychains that first attract collectors' attention:
Charm Hot Howl
This "fiery" keychain depicts a sinister creature engulfed in flames. The burning eyes and toothy mouth look quite impressive. Hot Howl will look great on one of the flame-themed skins. If you are curating an inventory inspired by the images of creepy monsters, add this cute item to your collection. However, "Hot Howl" might cost about forty dollars.
Charm Baby Karat T
Charm Baby KaratT is made in the shape of a knife, so it's no surprise that it is among the most expensive. The reason is the same as for many regular knives – rarity and diversity of variants. The pattern index of the keychain can take values from 1 to 100,000, resulting in the item being painted in various shades of gold, from pale matte to bright. Charms with an index around 75,000 are highly valued because they have the most saturated color. The cost of the skin is about $35.
Charm Semi-Precious
Charm Semi-Precious is another keychain in the shape of a knife, this time with a coloration resembling the "Doppler" series knives. The color of the knife changes depending on the pattern index, for example, at values up to 10,000 it will be light green, and at values from 30 to 50 thousand – bright blue. You can add "Semi-Precious" to your collection for $20-25.
Charm Hot Wurst
Of course, among the most valuable charms in CS2, not only knives appear. For instance, this little figure, whose name translates as "hot sausage," has gained significant popularity. The pattern index on Charm Hot Wurst will affect how the flames at the bottom of the keychain are colored. At higher values, they gain a holographic effect. The cost of the keychain is about twenty dollars.
Charm Baby Karat CT
This keychain looks slightly less expressive than its "T" marked counterpart, therefore, it is cheaper. Depending on the pattern index, it is painted in various shades of bronze, which becomes more golden at values above 50,000. It can be purchased for $18-25.
Charm Diamond Dog
If you want to add a truly luxurious keychain to your collection, try Diamond Dog. Its entire surface, except for the eyes, is covered with images of diamonds. The higher the pattern index, the brighter they will shine. The cost of the glittering pendant starts at $13.
Charm Lil’ Monster
This face with an open mouth and sticking out tongue has several color options, and they will change the appearance of its most noticeable element. At Lil’ Monster the pattern index affects the color of the figurine's tongue and the "MONSTER" inscription on it. It can be red, yellow, or blue-purple – all these options look equally amusing. The price for this keychain is $6-7.
Charm Titeenium AWP
Among the most valuable keychains, not only knives but also other types of weapons make an appearance. Of course, the most recognizable sniper rifle is among them. Depending on the index, Titeenium AWP can be colored yellow, green, bright blue, blue, or purple-pink. The cost of the keychain hovers around $5-6.
Charm Die-cast AK
Similarly, the paint job of Die-cast AK varies, but the set of colors for the keychain in the form of an "AK" is different: it can be golden, orange, red, purple, or blue. Depending on the paint, it can be bought for $5-7.
Charm Lil’ Squirt
Lil’ Squirt might appeal to fans of bright keychains. It depicts a water gun, so it's no wonder it's painted in toy-like vibrant colors. The pattern index changes the coloration of several elements, but overall the design remains the same. Regardless of the coloration, it costs just over $3.
Charm Diner Dog
Diner Dog is an interesting keychain painted with abstract geometric ornaments. The pattern index determines which part of the texture appears on its surface, so the examples can look quite diverse. For instance, the variant with index 99995 features a huge eye in the middle.
