CS2 "Community Maps, Charms, and More" update (October 2025): Dr. Boom charms and Sugarface 2

Valve's October 1, 2025 update added 45 charms, 38 stickers and four community maps, and took the Gallery Case out of the Armory. Every new item, by rarity.

On October 1, 2025, Valve released "Community Maps, Charms, and More" for Counter-Strike 2. The Armory gained two charm collections and two sticker collections, 45 charms and 38 stickers in all, and lost the Gallery Case, the Graphic Design Collection and the Character Craft stickers. Four new community maps replaced four of those added in May.

What the update added

Area	Added	Removed
Armory charms	Missing Link Community (23), Dr. Boom (22)	None
Armory stickers	2025 Community (29), Sugarface 2 (9)	Character Craft
Armory weapon items	None	Gallery Case, Graphic Design Collection
Competitive, Casual, Deathmatch	Golden, Palacio	Jura, Grail
Wingman	Rooftop, Transit	Dogtown, Brewery

Valve had given notice: its September 10 patch called it the "last chance" to pick up the Gallery Case, the Graphic Collection and the Character Craft stickers from the Armory. All the new collections are Armory items, bought with Armory Credits; our Armory explainer covers how the pass works.

Missing Link Community Charms

"A few months ago we added charms to the workshop, and you responded," Valve wrote. On March 20, 2025 it had let artists submit their own designs for the Missing Link charm to the Steam Workshop, and this collection is the result: 23 charms by Workshop community artists. Charm names below drop the "Charm |" prefix they carry in game.

Extraordinary: Lil' Boo, Lil' Eldritch, Lil' Serpent, Quick Silver
Exotic: Lil' Chirp, Lil' Happy, Lil' Hero, Lil' Prick, Piñatita
Remarkable: Hang Loose, Lil' Buns, Lil' Goop, Lil' Moments, Magmatude, Pocket Pop
High Grade: Dead Weight, Lil' Baller, Lil' Cackle, Lil' Curse, Lil' No. 2, Lil' Smokey, Lil' Tusk, Lil' Vino

The four Extraordinary charms of the Missing Link Community collection

Dr. Boom Charms

Dr. Boom is a new charm shape. Valve introduced it as "a lil' HE grenade... for your gun", and the 22 charms are characters built on that round grenade body.

Extraordinary: 8 Ball IGL, Butane Buddy, Glitter Bomb, Lil' Ferno
Exotic: Eye of Ball, Flash Bomb, Hungry Eyes, Lil' Eco, Lil' Yeti
Remarkable: Big Brain, Bomb Tag, Dr. Brian, Lil' Bloody, Lil' Chomper, Lil' Dumplin', Lil' Facelift
High Grade: Biomech, Fluffy, Gritty, Lil' Zen, Splatter Cat, Whittle Guy

Charms on a gun also behave a little differently after this patch: they now jolt slightly when the player makes an audible footstep. How charms attach, detach and carry a template number is covered in our charms guide, and the first two collections in our article on the October 2024 charms update.

2025 Community Stickers

29 stickers made by Counter-Strike Workshop community artists. Each design comes in a single finish, so there are no paper and foil versions of the same sticker, and the three lenticulars sit at the top.

Extraordinary (Lenticular): BullHit, Digi-Strike, Neon MVP
Exotic (Foil): Ain't A Rental, Eyes In The Sky, Good As New, Hands Off, King Crasswater, Queen Ava
Remarkable: Bomb Planted (Holo), Chrome Dome (Holo), Cutie (Holo), Evidence (Holo), Froggles (Holo), CT Tracks (Glitter), Overloaded (Glitter), T Tracks (Glitter)
High Grade: Candy Apples, Cubix Connexion, Eyes of Farlow, Fade Mangos, Gloves On, Lock In, Mimicapsule, POTS, Pop Pup, Sent With Love, Skelly Stabby, Vice Cursor

Two of them were touched up within weeks: an October 15 patch updated King Crasswater and Queen Ava "for clarity".

Sugarface 2 Stickers

Valve billed this as "the return of Sugarface", a follow-up to the Sugarface Capsule from the CS:GO era. It is the smallest set in the update: three designs, Clavis, Lorena and Lucas, each in three finishes.

Exotic (Foil): Clavis, Lorena, Lucas
Remarkable (Holo): Clavis, Lorena, Lucas
High Grade (paper): Clavis, Lorena, Lucas

You can browse each set on Buy: Missing Link Community, Dr. Boom, 2025 Community and Sugarface 2. Our stickers guide explains the finishes.

Community maps

Four of the five maps added in the May 2025 missions update, Jura, Grail, Dogtown and Brewery, left every mode; Agency stayed. In their place:

Golden (Competitive, Casual, Deathmatch): its Workshop page, which credits four authors, describes a small remote island in the Pacific built around a gold mine and a miners' village. Valve's post calls it "the mines of Golden".
Palacio (Competitive, Casual, Deathmatch).
Rooftop (Wingman).
Transit (Wingman): Valve's post mentions "the moving train in Transit".

Transit didn't last. Two days later, on October 3, Valve's notes said it had been removed from official matchmaking, without giving a reason.

Gameplay and spectating changes

Dying to the C4 explosion now adds a death on the scoreboard.
The Zeus x27 kill-streak bonus in Deathmatch was limited.
Sniper scopes now represent inaccuracy, and a pixel offset in thicker scope lines was fixed. The next day's patch adjusted the AUG and SG 553 scope dots and added options for dot scale and sniper scope thickness.
Spectator cameras on select maps now travel the shortest path through the level to the next player.
The spectator loadout added in September's Show Off update now shows the wear and pattern of the watched player's gloves.

Where it stands now

Three weeks later, on October 22, Valve added Retakes as an official mode and let five Covert skins be traded up into a knife or gloves; see the Covert trade-up update. On December 5, 2025, Valve released the Dr. Boom charm model to the Workshop so artists could paint it for a future community charm collection.

Golden, Palacio and Rooftop were removed on January 21, 2026, along with Agency, when Premier Season Four brought a new set of community maps. Sugarface 2 left the Armory on July 8, 2026, as part of the Season Five rotation. Valve's notes up to early October 2026 haven't removed the two charm collections or the 2025 Community stickers.
