Name Tags are single use items that let you nickname a weapon in Counter-Strike 2. Once you apply one, the name is locked in: you cannot modify it, and removing the Name Tag does not return it to your inventory.

Steam Support lists the details.

How to get one
  • $1.99 USD in-game, or from the Steam Community Market.
How to remove one
  • Left-click the weapon, select Rename, then Remove Name. The Name Tag is consumed either way.
Allowed characters

Code: Select all

`!@#$%^&*-+=(){}[]/|\,.?:;'_ and space
Name Tags cannot start with a space. Any character outside that list is not officially supported and may not display properly. The game shows a preview before you confirm the name, and anything that does not appear in the preview will not show up once applied.

Position
  • The Name Tag has a pre-determined spot on each weapon. You cannot move it.
If you are picking a name, keep it short and check the preview. A name you cannot read in the preview will not look better after you apply it.
