[LEGACY] Best sticker positions for all guns - visual guide

Av pinkxzy

This is a visual guide for the best sticker positions on all guns.

Knowing the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and sometimes 5th best sticker position on a gun is useful, as expensive stickers can add a lot of value if applied on some of the best positions of any given skin. A lower position ranking tends to mean a lower value added from the sticker.

A few notable stickers include Katowice 2014 stickers, Katowice 2015 stickers, the Crown (Foil), and the infamous Howling Dawn.

NOTE: As of 2/6/2024 up to 5 stickers can be placed anywhere on a gun. This guide still stands as credible for 99% of existing skins, and even for most newly crafted skins. Preset position crafts are still more desirable than the average custom placement craft. Just be aware of this change because it may affect small things this legacy guide doesn't cover.

Introduction

This guide is to help anyone who wants to know the best sticker positions ranked for any gun. Expensive stickers use these ranked positions to calculate how much extra value a sticker (or stickers) adds to the gun, or to determine the best spot for overall sticker visibility when playing.

This guide takes the sticker positions ranking to it's core and will work with 99% of weapon skins, but certain very specific skins may have different best sticker positions depending on the art on the skin. For example the best sticker position for the M4A4 | Howl is widely considered to be on the back of the body, second to rightmost position. The AK-47 | Jaguar has similar properties yet only with certain very specific stickers.

I don't recommend applying expensive stickers onto stock guns as shown in some of the pictures below.

Here is how the visual sticker position ranking works:

Rifles

Galil AR

1st best: back of the body, second to rightmost position
2nd best: above the mag, second to leftmost position
3rd best: on the barrel, leftmost position
4th best: on the stock, rightmost position

FAMAS

1st best: middle left of body, second to leftmost position
2nd best: front of the body, leftmost position
3rd best: on the biggest spot, rightmost position
4th best: middle right of body, second to rightmost position
Notes: Controversial ranking. The #1 and #2 positions are placed at the front of the body because although the #3 position is bigger in size, the #3 position is also less visible during gameplay and is thus usually not as favorable as positions #1 and #2 when playing. Regardless sticker value wise #1, #2, and #3 tend to have very similar overpay, in contrast to #4 which has notably lower overpay.

AK-47

1st best: on the wood, leftmost position
2nd best: back of the body, rightmost position
3rd best: middle right of body, second to rightmost position
4th best: middle left of body, second to leftmost position

M4A4

1st best: above the mag, leftmost position
2nd best: back of the body, second to rightmost position
3rd best: above the 1st best, second to leftmost position
4th best: on the stock, rightmost position

M4A1-S

1st best: above the mag, second to leftmost position
2nd best: middle of the body, second to rightmost position
3rd best: back of the body, rightmost position
4th best: on the barrel, leftmost position

SG 553

1st best: above the mag, leftmost position
2nd best: middle of the body, second to rightmost and leftmost positions
3rd best: above the handle, rightmost position
4th best: on the scope, top position

AUG

1st best: above the handle, second to leftmost position
2nd best: front of the body, leftmost position
3rd best: above the mag, second to rightmost position
4th best: on the stock, rightmost position
Notes: Controversial ranking. The #1 position placed is above the handle because although the #2 position is slightly bigger in size and is placed in a slightly nicer spot, the #2 position also makes sizable holes in the applied sticker. Regardless sticker value wise #1 and #2 tend to have very similar overpay.

Notes

Please leave a comment below if you believe a sticker position ranking is incorrect. Please state what it should be instead and why you think so.

Example:

I think the sticker position rankings for the _ are wrong. You should switch the 1st best and 2nd best positions because the current 2nd best position is more visible than the 1st best position when holding the gun normally in game.

THANK YOU FOR USING MY GUIDE!

Definitely this guide was fire hell I probably still use it XD But with now five sticker placements I feel you can really kill it

pinkxzy [skaper] 6. feb. kl. 18.05

I might do that, will take time tho

Plain Trader 6. feb. kl. 17.27

It was a good guide but now you gotta do a new one... sorry man

Mcdonomeister 2. feb. kl. 8.22

Very usefull, thank you producer.

thecharliecp 8. des. 2023 kl. 15.02

i might add 2 smoke criminal stickers since theyre cheap

pinkxzy [skaper] 8. des. 2023 kl. 14.56

For the glock, when playing the game normally you will not see the handle 95% of the time, and aesthetically having 3 stickers on the top in a row is nicer than 2 with a 3rd hidden away below.

To be fair CS2 made the bumps of the best position look worse than it used to in CS:GO for some reason, but CS2 skins are still being updated and fixed over time and hopefully they fix that issue.

It is subjective so don't feel bad for liking something different than what this guide suggests, but this guide is based off of many sources of what is on average best looking and what sells for more overpay when resold in the community.

thecharliecp 8. des. 2023 kl. 11.20

how is the glock #1 the top of the mag? im thinking of adding a sticker and only have the top or bottom of mag left and whenever i see it on top of the mag the grooves of the glock make it so it isnt flat and when you inspect the thumb is in the way. making me think the handle is better

Famas ranking seems correct, although I prefer #2 over #1 :)
