How to use custom skins in CS:GO
Best answer

Using custom skins in CS:GO ain't rocket science, but it does need a bit of know-how. First off, you can't use 'em in official matchmaking, gotta keep it fair, right? For custom games and servers though, just download the skin files and drop them into the correct folder in your CS:GO directory (usually 'csgo/materials' or 'csgo/models'). Then, jump into a server that allows custom content. Remember, these skins are just for showing off in those non-official spaces!

Honestly, just stick to the official skins. Keeps things simpler and you won't have issues with Valve's rules. Plus, you support the game devs!

I've been messing with custom skins for years. What you gotta do is find a community server that’s cool with it. Download your skins, put 'em in the right folder, and you're golden. Just never try it in competitive, or you're asking for a ban hammer to hit you square in the face.
