Looking for profitable Arabesque and Spy Tech trade-ups after the Season 5 Armory drop? This guide lists five live contracts across both collections. Skin names, collections, and float bands stay in the write-up. Cost, expected value, and profit update live on each card from the Trade-Up Database.

Arabesque and Spy Tech are normal Armory weapon collections. Once a skin clears its market hold, ten matching inputs trade into one skin of the next rarity inside that collection's pool. Every card below opens in the Trade-Up Calculator so you can recheck floats, fees, and outcome prices before you buy.

New to the drop? Start with Arabesque & Spy Tech Collections (Season 5), then come back here for live recipes. For other ladders, see 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. Mix of Arabesque and Spy Tech with distinct rarity and wear bands
  4. Input listings stay tight across marketplaces (second-cheapest listing within about 15% of the cheapest, and still profitable if you clear at that second listing)
  5. The article lists skins, collections, float bands, and pool notes only
  6. Live cards show current cost, EV, and profit, and open in the Trade-Up Calculator

Five picks at a glance

  1. PP-Bizon | Traitor (Well-Worn) from Arabesque, optimal float 0.3800 to 0.4500
  2. MP7 | Base-2 (Battle-Scarred) from Spy Tech, optimal float 0.4500 to 1.0000
  3. R8 Revolver | Monarch (Battle-Scarred) from Spy Tech, optimal float 0.4500 to 1.0000
  4. Tec-9 | Perimeter (Field-Tested) from Spy Tech, optimal float 0.1500 to 0.3800
  5. Sawed-Off | Lunar Wyrm (Well-Worn) from Arabesque, optimal float 0.3800 to 0.4500

How Season 5 Armory trade-ups work

  1. Add 10 skins of the same rarity from Arabesque, Spy Tech, or a valid mix.
  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. Use Open in Calculator on the card when you want to swap one filler or reprice the contract.
  4. Recheck prices right before you commit. Early Armory books move fast.

FAQ

Can you trade up Arabesque and Spy Tech skins in CS2?

Yes. Once an Armory skin is tradable and marketable, it works like any other collection skin. Full Season 5 lists live in our Arabesque & Spy Tech collections guide.

How do you pick these five trade-ups?

Picks were screened for fully priced outcomes, a usable float band, positive live expected profit, and tight input listings across marketplaces so the contract does not depend on one cheap listing. We mix both collections and keep distinct rarity and wear bands. Always recheck 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.

Do Arabesque and Spy Tech share one outcome pool?

No. Each collection has its own outcomes at the next rarity. Mixing inputs splits odds by collection share.

Where else should I look?

Trade-Up Calculator, Trade-Up Database, Season 5 collections explainer, Ascent Collection trade-ups, Kilowatt Collection trade-ups, Souvenir trade-ups, and CS2 knife trade-ups.

Keep checking live prices

Armory books shift while supply unlocks and listings deepen. 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.
