CS2 Arabesque & Spy Tech Collections: Every New Season 5 Armory Skin

Short answer: CS2 Season 5 added two new Armory weapon collections, Arabesque and Spy Tech, with 17 skins each. They dropped with Premier Season 5 on 8 July 2026, alongside the Fruits And Veggies and Auto Racing sticker collections. This guide lists every skin in both sets, grouped by rarity, with notes on the Coverts and Classifieds that stand out.

For the matching sticker collections, see Fruits And Veggies and Auto Racing stickers.

What these collections are

Both sets come from Valve's Call to Arms community push and redeem through the Armory. That matters for a few reasons:

• Supply starts in the Armory. Armory-acquired copies carry a seven-day trade and market restriction before they can be traded or listed.
• Armory stars do not expire. Players often save credits across rotations and spend them when new collections go live, which can mean more early redemptions for both weapon skins and stickers once a rotation drops. Listings still ramp over the first week after a drop because of the trade lock.
• Weapon pulls cost more than sticker pulls. Arabesque and Spy Tech redeem for 4 stars each. The Season 5 sticker collections cost 1 star.

Rarity ladder for these Armory skins:

• Covert
• Classified
• Restricted
• Mil-Spec Grade
• Industrial Grade

How to get them

Arabesque and Spy Tech come from the CS2 Armory, not a weapon case.

1. Buy an Armory Pass in-game.
2. Earn stars by playing and gaining XP (you can progress multiple passes at once).
3. Spend 4 stars on a pull from The Arabesque Collection or The Spy Tech Collection tile.

That Armory pull is random within the collection. You choose Arabesque or Spy Tech, not a specific skin name. If you want an exact skin such as AK-47 | Consequence of the Jinn or Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol, buy that item on the market once listings are available.

Armory-acquired items are subject to Steam's seven-day trade and market restriction. You can use the skin in-game during that window, but you generally cannot trade it or list it until the timer ends. Saved stars from earlier Armory passes can add to early redemption volume once a rotation goes live, but listings still build over that first week rather than hitting the market all at once.

What rotated out of the Armory

When these collections entered the Armory, four older sets left:

• Train 2025 (weapons)
• Sport & Field (weapons)
• Sugarface 2 (stickers)
• Elemental Craft (stickers)

Existing copies still trade. You just cannot earn new Armory copies of them anymore.

Trade-ups

Arabesque and Spy Tech skins are normal weapon skins. Once you own an eligible input, they follow the same trade-up rules as any other weapon collection: same rarity in, next rarity out, normal float math, and StatTrak all-or-nothing.

You can also mix Souvenir skins with normal non-StatTrak skins in the same contract. The Souvenir tag drops in the trade-up, so the outcome is a normal skin of the next rarity. Full rules are in our Souvenir trade-up guide.

Steam's seven-day trade and market restriction on Armory-acquired copies affects trading and listing only. It does not block these skins from trade-up contracts.
