CS2 Call II Arms-ory asks artists for three collections

CS2 Call II Arms-ory opened three new themes for Counter-Strike Workshop submissions on July 16. Valve is requesting one Fairy Tales weapon collection and two sticker collections named Cryptids and Pop Art.

The call follows the release of weapon and sticker collections selected from the previous community request. Artists submit through the Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tool and must accept the game’s supplemental Workshop terms.

CS2 Call II Arms-ory separates finishes from stickers

Fairy Tales is the only weapon-finish brief in this round. Cryptids and Pop Art are sticker categories, so artists need to choose the correct submission option rather than upload one design across every theme.

The names are creative prompts, not guarantees of selection. Valve did not promise that every theme will produce the same number of accepted items or provide a public release date for the resulting collections.

Workshop visibility also does not mean an item has entered the game. A submission remains community content until Valve selects and ships it in an official update.

Supplemental terms remain part of submission

Valve specifically directs creators to agree to Counter-Strike 2’s supplemental terms in the Workshop Tool. Artists should review those conditions themselves before submitting, particularly the provisions governing selection, use and compensation.

Our CS2 champion cosmetics report looks at tournament-linked items already in the game. Our skin readability analysis explains why strong silhouettes and material separation matter beyond a static Workshop preview.

The next confirmed step is Valve’s review process. Until an official collection announcement appears, artists and readers should describe these as requested themes rather than upcoming store releases.
