5 CS2 StatTrak Trade-Ups

StatTrak trade-ups in CS2 follow the same rarity ladder as normal contracts, with one hard rule: every input must be StatTrak, and the outcome is StatTrak too. This guide covers the rules, then lists five live StatTrak contracts with float bands in the write-up. Cost, expected value, and profit update live on each card.

You can load any card into the Trade-Up Calculator to tweak floats, fees, or fillers before you buy. For Covert gold ladders, see knife trade-ups. For the full rulebook, use the CS2 trade-up guide.

StatTrak trade-up rules

1. All or nothing. You cannot mix StatTrak and non-StatTrak skins in one contract.
2. Starts at Mil-Spec. Consumer and Industrial skins have no StatTrak variants.
3. Outcome matches the inputs. Ten StatTrak inputs return one StatTrak skin of the next rarity.
4. Gloves are never StatTrak. Covert StatTrak contracts that hit golds are knife pools only.
5. Float math is unchanged. Output float still follows the average of your ten inputs and the outcome float range.
6. Price the StatTrak book. StatTrak asks are a separate market from the normal finish. Always confirm EV on the live card.

Selection rules for this post

1. Screened at publish for live expected profit of at least 8% and fully priced StatTrak outcomes
2. Optimal float span at least 0.03
3. Contract cost high enough to avoid penny-book noise
4. Distinct collections across the picks
5. Input asks stay tight across marketplaces when books allow
6. Live cards show current cost, EV, and profit, and open in the Trade-Up Calculator

Five picks at a glance

How to run a StatTrak contract

1. Confirm cost, expected value, and expected profit after your fee on the live card.
2. Stay inside the optimal float range.
3. Keep every slot StatTrak. One normal skin breaks the contract.
4. Use Open in Calculator when you want to swap a filler or reprice with your sell fee.
5. Recheck prices right before you commit. StatTrak books can move faster than normal finishes on thin listings.

How do you pick these StatTrak trade-ups?

Picks were screened for fully priced StatTrak outcomes, a usable optimal float span, live expected profit of at least 8 percent, a minimum contract cost, and tight input listings across marketplaces. Always recheck cost and EV on 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 with StatTrak enabled. This article does not freeze dollar costs or profit percents in the prose because those move with the market.
