Best Sticker Positions for All Guns (for kato 14s, crowns, howling dawns, kato 15s, etc)

By orange

This guide will show all the best sticker positions, to my knowledge from searching around everywhere and my own opinions.
Knowing the best sticker positions on a gun could be useful, as a Katowice 2014 holo sticker would add a lot more on the best position than the worst position.

this guide isnt exactly helpful for any skin with a kato/other expensive sticker that was made after the 2024 sticker changes for cs2, but for older skins it should still be accurate

My awp redline has the best sticker placement.

Why ak wood is the best position? In indle that position always covered with hand. So the best position is left side on body - it is clean position for any stickers and gun animations

NIČITEL 24 Sep, 2023 @ 10:30am

good guide but if there are same stickers on each of the weapon it would be better so u can see if they are bigger on some positions

NAHH WHO PUT TITAN HOLOS ON THE FUCKING STOCK M4 I PRAY FOR U MY DUDE

Zane 27 May, 2023 @ 6:58am

@Brikz-The-Tank : Its because you get the best holo effect from that position with the lighting. It sucks because its covered, but that's how it be.

love it, thank u! much love <3

Brikz 31 Mar, 2023 @ 6:06pm

Can someone tell me why the best position for the pistols should be at the top right? You hardly see the sticker at all and during the inspection animation it is covered by the thumbs, for me personally it is the worst option

yogi 25 Mar, 2023 @ 10:53am
