CSGO trade ups are a feature that lets you exchange 10 weapon skins of the same quality grade for one skin of the next higher grade. I'll explain exactly how this system works and how you can use it effectively.

The basic concept is simple - you need to collect 10 skins of identical quality (like Consumer Grade, Industrial Grade, Mil-Spec, etc.) to trade up to one skin of the next tier. For example, trading 10 Consumer Grade (white) skins will give you one Industrial Grade (light blue) skin.

Here's the grade hierarchy from lowest to highest: • Consumer Grade (White) • Industrial Grade (Light Blue) • Mil-Spec (Blue) • Restricted (Purple) • Classified (Pink) • Covert (Red)

To perform a trade up: 1. Open your inventory and click on "Trade Up Contract" 2. Add 10 skins of the same grade 3. Review the possible outcomes 4. Click "Submit" to complete the trade up

The outcome isn't completely random. The skin you receive will be from one of the collections of the skins you traded in. For example, if you use five skins from the Dust 2 collection and five from the Train collection, you have a 50% chance of getting a skin from each collection.

The wear quality (Factory New, Minimal Wear, etc.) of your new skin is determined by the average float value of the 10 skins you traded in. This means you can influence the wear of your outcome by carefully selecting the condition of your input skins.

Popular trade up strategies include: • Low-risk trade ups using cheap skins • Collection-specific trade ups targeting expensive skins • Float-manipulation trade ups for better wear conditions

Remember that trade ups are permanent and can't be undone. Always check the possible outcomes before confirming the trade up, as some combinations might result in less valuable skins than what you put in.

Trade ups can be profitable if done correctly, but they also involve risk. I recommend starting with lower-grade skins to understand the system before attempting expensive trade ups with Classified or Restricted items.

That's all you need to know about CSGO trade ups - they're straightforward once you understand the basic mechanics, but mastering them requires careful planning and knowledge of skin collections and market values.
