What Is a Storage Unit in CS2?

A Storage Unit is an in-game container that can hold up to 1,000 items. It helps free up your main inventory and organize items into separate categories.

For example, you can use separate Storage Units for:

• cases;

• skins;

• stickers and capsules;

• trade-up items;

• long-term investments.

Items can be moved between your inventory and a Storage Unit whenever needed. Storing an item does not change its properties.

How to Use a Storage Unit

Storage Units can be purchased through the CS2 in-game store. After activating one, you can give it a custom name such as Cases, Stickers, or Investments.

To store items, open the Storage Unit, select the deposit option, and choose the items you want to move.

To get an item back, use the retrieve option. It will return to your regular inventory.

Keep in mind that items stored inside a Storage Unit cannot be used directly. You need to retrieve them first.

Can You Rename a Storage Unit?

Yes. You can change the name of a Storage Unit without using a Name Tag.

If you have several Storage Units, descriptive names such as Cases, Trade Ups, or Stickers make it easier to manage your collection.

Why Use Storage Units?

The main purpose of Storage Units is to make large inventories easier to manage.

They are especially useful for collectors and players who hold large numbers of cases, capsules, skins, or other items for the long term.

For example, you can keep hundreds of cases in a Cases Storage Unit, stickers in Stickers, and trade-up materials in Trade Ups.

Moving an item into a Storage Unit does not affect its value or characteristics.

What Is a Name Tag in CS2?

A Name Tag is a consumable item that allows you to give a weapon a custom name.

After applying it, the chosen name becomes associated with the weapon and can be displayed in-game.

For example, you can use a Name Tag to give your favorite AK-47, AWP, or another weapon a unique name.

How to Use a Name Tag

To rename a weapon:

1. Open your CS2 inventory.

2. Select the Name Tag.

3. Choose the weapon you want to rename.

4. Enter the new name.

5. Confirm the change.

Once used, the Name Tag is consumed. If you want to change the weapon's name again later, you will need another Name Tag.

Check the spelling before confirming the new name.

Can You Remove a Name Tag?

Yes. You can remove a custom name from a weapon, but the used Name Tag will not be returned.

Removing or applying a Name Tag does not change the skin's float, pattern, stickers, or StatTrak properties.

Does a Name Tag Stay After Selling or Trading a Skin?

Yes. The custom name remains attached to the item when it is traded or sold.

The new owner can keep the existing name, remove it, or apply another Name Tag to rename the weapon.

Does a Name Tag Affect Skin Value?

In most cases, not significantly.

Factors such as rarity, float, pattern, stickers, and market demand have a much greater impact on a skin's price.

A creative or fitting name can make a particular skin more interesting to some buyers, but a Name Tag alone usually does not add meaningful market value.
