5 CS2 Radiant Collection Trade-Ups

Radiant Collection trade-ups in CS2: five live contracts with float bands in the write-up. Cost, expected value, and profit update live on each card from the Trade-Up Database.

Radiant is a warm pink and coral weapon collection from the timed-drop pool. Ten matching inputs trade into one skin of the next rarity inside the Radiant pool, including Restricted targets like Desert Eagle | Mulberry and the Classified AK-47 | Nouveau Rouge. Every card below deep-links into the Trade-Up Calculator so you can recheck floats, fees, and outcome prices before you buy.

For other ladders, see Harlequin, Achroma, Boreal, Train 2025, Fever, Sport & Field, Gallery, Ascent, Kilowatt, Souvenir trade-ups, and knife trade-ups.

Selection rules for this post

1. Screened at publish for positive live expected profit and fully priced outcomes
2. Optimal float span at least 0.03 when markets allow
3. Distinct rarity and wear bands across the picks
4. Input asks stay tight across western marketplaces when books allow (2nd-cheapest near cheapest)
5. CSFloat must list the input wear with enough depth, and the unit ask must clear a $0.10 floor (no penny industrials)
6. The article lists skins, float bands, and pool notes only
7. Live cards show current cost, EV, and profit, and open in the Trade-Up Calculator

How Radiant Collection trade-ups work

1. Add 10 skins of the same rarity from the Radiant Collection (or a valid mix with other collections if you intentionally split odds).
2. Collection odds follow the share of each input.
3. Output float follows the average float of your ten inputs and the outcome float range.
4. Buy inside the printed optimal float range, set your sell fee, then confirm EV on the live card or in the Trade-Up Calculator.

How to run the contract

1. Confirm cost, expected value, and expected profit after your fee on the live card.
2. Stay inside the optimal float range. Wider spans leave more room when listings move.
3. Prefer CSFloat / Skinport / DMarket asks when filling the ten inputs so the printed cost matches a book you can actually buy.
4. Use Open in Calculator on the card when you want to swap one filler or reprice the contract.
5. Recheck prices right before you commit. Collection books still move with supply and listing depth.

FAQ

Can you trade up Radiant Collection skins in CS2?

Yes. Ten skins of one rarity return one skin of the next rarity from the Radiant outcome pool, the same rule as other weapon collections.

How do you pick these Radiant trade-ups?

Picks were screened for fully priced outcomes, a usable optimal float span, positive live expected profit after fees, CSFloat asks on the input wear, and input unit prices that clear a $0.10 floor so penny books are excluded. Always recheck cost and EV on the live card.

Where do I see live cost, EV, and profit?

On each live trade-up card below, or by opening the same recipe in the Trade-Up Calculator. This article does not freeze dollar costs or profit percents in the prose because those move with the market.

What is the top Radiant Collection trade-up target?

Desert Eagle | Mulberry is the Restricted ceiling for Mil-Spec Radiant inputs. AK-47 | Nouveau Rouge is the Classified target for Restricted inputs. Confirm live prices on each card.

Final notes

Radiant books shift with marketplace depth. Re-open each card before you buy, set the fee for where you sell, and stay inside the float band. Build or tweak any of these crafts in the Trade-Up Calculator, or browse more contracts in the Trade-Up Database.
