How do skins affect gameplay in Counter-Strike 2, if at all?

Asked 2 years ago

I was thinking about trying out some shooter games, and this one looks like it might be fun, considering all the hype at the moment. I was watching some videos about it, and I know that, in most games, skins are just visual effects that make your character look cooler. Is it the same in Counter-Strike 2? Do skins do anything other than change the way your weapons look?

The skins in CS2 are completely cosmetic. All skins really do is add aesthetic value to your weapons and player models, and let your friends and enemies see how cool you are for owning them.
