StatTrak is one of the most binary yet misunderstood features in CS2 skin trading. A weapon with the StatTrak attribute simply records the number of kills you've earned with that exact skin — the number glows on the side of the gun model. It tracks to three digits (000-999) and resets visually only when you trade the skin away. No gameplay advantage, no stat boost, no hidden damage modifier. Just a counter. And in trading, that counter consistently commands a premium.
The value bump depends on three factors: weapon tier, float range, and pattern rarity. For a blue-tier Mil-Spec skin, StatTrak might add 10 cents. For a Covert AK-47 or a knife, that premium can hit 20-30% or more, especially if the skin already sits high on the tier list. On CSBoard, you can toggle the StatTrak filter on any item page and see live P2P listings compared against Buff163 anchored prices — no bot middlemen, no hidden fees.
