Tips for a $5,000 loadout

  • Spend left over is deliberate: the Builder won't push a weapon slot past its share just to use the money.
  • If you want more of the budget in the knife, raise the “Knife and gloves” share in the Builder's advanced options.
  • At this level, check float and pattern on the listing page before buying; price differences between listings are large.

Frequently asked

Can you get a knife and gloves in CS2 for $5,000?
Yes. Today's loadout on this page pairs ★ Butterfly Knife with ★ Sport Gloves | Nocts for $1,693.89, and still has skins on all ten main weapons, for $4,080.27 in total.
How much of a $5,000 loadout goes to the knife and gloves?
The Builder aims about 35% of the budget at the knife and gloves, 30% at the AK-47, M4 and AWP, 20% at pistols and 15% at the other guns. In today's loadout the pair costs $1,693.89, 42% of what it spends.
Why does the $5,000 loadout cost less than $5,000?
Each group of weapons has its own share of the budget, and the Builder won't push a slot past its share just to use the money. You can change the shares in the Builder's advanced options, or open the loadout and swap any slot for a pricier skin.
Which colors work at $5,000?
9 distinct loadouts fit this budget today: the best overall pick plus 8 color themes. Color matching uses each skin's measured colors, and weapons without a skin in that color get a neutral black or white one.
