Quad iBUYPOWER Holo
The grail craft. Four holos of the scarcest team sticker in the game, usually applied to an M4A4 Howl or AWP Asiimov — individual crafts are tracked by the community by name.
Quad Titan Holo
The other Katowice 2014 icon. The green-tinted holo pairs famously with the AWP Dragon Lore and Medusa — quad crafts sit among the most expensive cosmetic statements in CS2.
Quad Crown Foil
The classic non-tournament craft. The gold crown foil suits Case Hardened and red-themed skins, and it has anchored high-end crafts for a decade.
Quad Howling Dawn
The sticker sibling of the contraband M4A4 Howl — quad Howling Dawn crafts on the Howl itself are the definitive matching-set flex.
Quad Harp of War
The premium pick for green loadouts — its gold-on-green holo effect works on everything from Gamma Dopplers to the AK-47 Fire Serpent.

Crafting Basics
CS2 gives every weapon five sticker slots with flexible placement — quad crafts are a convention carried over from CS:GO's four fixed positions, and they're still the classic format. Applying is permanent-ish: you can scrape a sticker off later, but scraping destroys it. Before committing an expensive sticker, double-check the position in-game, the skin's float on our float checker, and read how scraping works. Then browse the full sticker database for candidates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sticker craft in CS2?
A craft is a skin with stickers deliberately applied to create a look — most classically four of the same sticker (a 'quad' craft). Because applied stickers can't be recovered, an expensive craft permanently commits the stickers, which is exactly why famous crafts carry prestige.
Do stickers add value to a skin?
Applied stickers usually return only a fraction of their market price when the skin is resold — with the exception of iconic crafts (Katowice 2014 holos, Crown Foils), where buyers pay real premiums. Craft for the look first; only top-tier stickers reliably add resale value.
What are the best sticker positions?
It depends on the weapon. Crafters favour positions visible in first person — above the AK-47's wooden grip, the AWP's scope-side body, and the M4A4's mid-body are the classic spots. Preview positions before committing, because scraping destroys the sticker.
How much does a quad Katowice 2014 craft cost?
It moves with the sticker market — the live table above multiplies each sticker's current best price by four, so you're always looking at today's cost, not a stale screenshot.
Can you remove stickers from a craft?
You can scrape stickers off, but each scrape permanently destroys the sticker — there's no way to recover or resell it. That one-way door is what makes big crafts feel expensive and why you should be certain before applying.
