CS2 Pattern Checker & Skin Pattern Viewer

Every skin in Counter-Strike 2 can have up to 1,000 unique paint seed patterns. Some skins - like the Case Hardened, Doppler, and Fade - change dramatically between patterns, making certain seeds far more valuable than others. Our CS2 pattern viewer lets you browse, compare, and inspect every pattern on every skin in the game.

Understanding CS2 Skin Patterns

When a skin drops or is unboxed in CS2, the game assigns it a random paint seed (a number from 1 to 1,000). This seed controls how the skin's texture is mapped onto the weapon model, creating a unique visual pattern. For most skins the differences are subtle, but for pattern-based skins the variation can be enormous - and so can the price difference.

Our pattern checker tool powered by Dispattern analysis data lets you view screenshots of every pattern from multiple viewpoints (Front, Back, Top, Left, Right, Butt) so you can evaluate exactly what each seed looks like before buying or trading.

CS2 Doppler Patterns

Doppler knives are among the most popular pattern-based skins in CS2. Each CS2 Doppler pattern is classified into phases (Phase 1 through Phase 4) plus the rare Ruby, Sapphire, and Black Pearl variants. The exact distribution of pink, blue, and black on a Doppler depends entirely on its paint seed - for example, CS2 Doppler 350 pattern is a well-known seed that many collectors seek out. Use our pattern viewer to compare Doppler patterns across Butterfly, Karambit, M9 Bayonet, and every other knife type in the game.

CS2 Case Hardened Patterns

The Case Hardened finish is legendary for its "Blue Gem" patterns. Each CS2 Case Hardened pattern distributes gold, silver, and blue across the skin differently. Seeds with high blue coverage - like the famous pattern 661 on the AK-47 - can sell for thousands of dollars more than average seeds. Our tool shows you the blue coverage analysis for every Case Hardened pattern on AK-47, Five-Seven, and all available weapons.

Fade Patterns in CS2

Fade skins are graded by their "fade percentage" - how far the gradient extends across the weapon or knife. A full fade (100%) is the most desirable, while lower percentages show less color range. Different paint seeds produce different fade percentages, and our CS2 pattern viewer shows you exactly what each seed looks like on every Fade skin in the game, from Butterfly Fade to Glock Fade.

CS2 Charm Patterns

With the introduction of charms in CS2, pattern-based cosmetics expanded beyond weapons. CS2 charm patterns vary based on paint seeds just like weapon skins, and certain charm patterns are more sought-after than others. Our CS2 charm pattern guide lets you browse every charm pattern in the Cosmetics category. Check our tool for a full CS2 charm patterns overview and find the seed you want.

CS2 Spray Patterns

While the term "spray pattern" in CS2 most commonly refers to weapon recoil (like the AK spray pattern CS2 players practice), paint-seed-based skins on spray-pattern weapons also vary significantly. For example, the AK-47's pattern skins each look different depending on their seed. Use our viewer to see how CS2 spray patterns affect skin appearance on rifles and SMGs. Whether you're studying AK spray pattern CS2 aesthetics or comparing visual patterns across different seeds, our tool has you covered.

Other Notable Pattern Skins

Beyond Dopplers, Case Hardened, and Fades, many other CS2 skins have pattern variation worth exploring:

• Kami patterns - The face designs shift with each seed, creating amusing or rare face layouts that collectors seek out.
• Crimson Web - Web placement varies per seed; centered large webs are rare and expensive.
• Slaughter - Diamond, heart, and angel shapes appear in different positions depending on the pattern.
• Marble Fade - "Fire and Ice" patterns with no yellow are the most valuable.
• Bright Water, Oceanic, Amber Fade - More skins with unique pattern variation visible in our viewer.
