Profitable Trade Ups
Auto-discovered profitable trade-up contracts, updated every 6 hours.
CS2 Profitable Trade Ups
We check every possible CS2 trade-up contract across all Counter-Strike 2 collections and show the ones that make money. Prices from Steam Market and CSFloat update every 6 hours. You can also run the numbers yourself in the CS2 trade-up calculator or test your luck with the case opening simulator.
Each result is a cheapest-fill trade-up: the lowest-cost input skins that still produce a positive expected value. Click any result to open it in the calculator, tweak the inputs, or buy the skins on CSFloat or the Steam Community Market.
How CS2 Trade Ups Work
Put 10 skins of the same rarity into a trade-up contract and you get 1 skin from the next tier. The output depends on which collections your inputs belong to. If 8 of your 10 items are from the Kilowatt Collection, there's an 80% chance the output comes from Kilowatt's next tier. Covert trade-ups take 5 inputs instead of 10 and give knives or gloves. Check the drop rates page for the exact odds CS2 uses.
What We Calculate
For every collection and rarity tier we grab the cheapest wear of each skin, fill the contract with the cheapest items, and run the probability math. Cross-collection trade-ups (mixing two collections) are checked too. If the expected value beats the input cost, it shows up here. The same math powers the trade-up calculator.
Getting More Out of a Trade Up
These cheapest-fill results are a starting point. In the calculator you can swap wear variants or change float values, which changes output probabilities. StatTrak trade-ups have separate pricing and sometimes wildly different margins. Checking both Steam and CSFloat prices for inputs can save you a few bucks per contract.
CS2 Trade Up Rarity Tiers
Six tiers: Consumer Grade, Industrial Grade, Mil-Spec, Restricted, Classified, and Covert. Each trades up to the one above it. Lower tiers are cheap but the outputs are too. Covert trade-ups are the most expensive but the knife and glove outputs can be worth hundreds or thousands. Use the rarity filter above to browse by tier, or use the unboxing cost calculator to compare costs across cases and collections.
Float Values and Output Wear
Every skin has a float value between 0 and 1 that decides its wear: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. The trade-up output float is the average of your input floats, remapped to the output skin's float range. A Factory New output is worth more than a Battle-Scarred one for the same skin, so picking low-float inputs matters. The trade-up calculator shows exact output floats and wears for any combination.
