Hi everyone - welcome to the guides hub!



Sections - table of contents:

1. "Newly released": Contains guides that were released recently - for a limited amount of time (guides that are in the newly released section will also be listed in the category they fit into from the other guide categories).

2. "Uniques:" Contains guides that are... well... unique and don't really fit in any other category, kind of like a guide for skin guides - wait a minu... ;)
3. "Stickers:" Contains every guide that talks about stickers.
4. "Souvenirs - Multiple Majors:" Contains general souvenir guides that go through multiple Majors.
5. "Souvenirs - Specific Majors:" Contains souvenir guides that focus about a single major or even more specific aspects of that major

The next 7 categories are dedicated to pattern based and scratch pattern based skin guides (since there are a lot of them).

6. "Pattern based - Multiple weapons:" Contains every guide that is skin specific but showcases that skin's patterns on multiple weapons.
7-12. Pattern based - By weapon type: Contains the pattern based / scratch pattern based skin guides that are weapon specific divided by their weapon's type: Pistols, SMGs, Rifles, Heavies, Melees and Gloves.

13. Color themed: Contains guides that sort skins by color

14. Guide writers & guides quantity: This last section lists and links to all of the guide writers by how many guides they have showcased in this guide (their guides page will also be listed there). Those same writers will of course be credited next to each of their own guides listed in this guide as well as their contributors for that specific guide.



Don't forget that you can jump to the section you are looking for by clicking on it in the guide index to the right hand side

And lastly: If you are viewing this in your browser and clicking on a guide opens it up in a popup window - you can middle mouse click on it instead to open it in a new tab

Let's get into it.

This section exists in order to feature newly created guides that might go unseen otherwise.

Have you created a detailed skin guide recently? Let us know and we will add it to the guide and showcase it in this section for a limited amount of time :)

Unlike the other categories (which have subcategories) - each guide in this category has its own subcategory since none of them really fit with each other.



This is the first listed guide because the most important thing in regards to your items is to keep them safe. If something makes you uncomfortable or something seems fishy it's better to be safe than sorry - stay safe everyone.

Ok technically this is not skins related but let's say that it's related enough.

Since there are no different loadout slots for different types of knives - the different types of knives are going to be "replacing" the different types of weapons in my organization method and are going to be ordered alphabetically.
