Counter Strike: Global Offensive offers players a lot of opportunities to customize their look. A variety of agent images, skins and weapon stickers allow everyone to create their own unique combination. But there's another item that shouldn't be overlooked – is gun tags. They were added to the game in August 2013 and have been very popular with players ever since.
What are name tags?
Weapon labels (name tags) – are relatively inexpensive items that allow you to change the name of an item (skin or default weapon) to any arbitrarily chosen name. One label costs about 100 rubles. You can only use it once, applying it to one selected item. If you then decide to return the item to its default name, the label will simply disappear.
In the past, shortcuts had one more additional function: you could use localization tags, which allow you to add special characters to the skin name, as well as colored inscriptions, and in the language selected in the game interface. However, Valve closed this feature a few years ago.
How to put and remove a shortcut
To change the name of a weapon using a name shortcut, you need to follow a simple sequence of actions: open the inventory, select the weapon you want to rename, and enter a new name. It must comply with the following rules:
•
must belonger than 20 characters;
• must not contain offensive language;
• must not contain special characters.
The set of acceptable characters that can be used includes Latin characters and basic punctuation marks. You can also use | to make your own skin name as similar as possible to «present». The name will show up in quotes in inventory and in the purchase menu. A sign will appear on the weapon itself. In addition, the tag is also saved when selling or exchanging an item.
How to remove the label
If you are tired of the original skin name, it is very easy to remove it. To do this, select the option «Rename» from the subject menu, and then select the option «Delete name». As we have already mentioned, the tag will irrevocably disappear.
It is worth mentioning separately about renaming of skins with StatTrak function. Renaming and deleting a tag does not clear their stats, however the words «StatTrak» will disappear from its name until the tag is removed.
Weapon labels can be used to make jokes, boost team morale, or confuse your opponent – it's up to you. And if you want to replenish your collection with original skins, you will always find great deals in our catalog.
