Getting started
Everything you need to start playing on CSMIX servers: how to join a server, get any skins for free and level up.
- 1
Pick a mode
The home page lists all CSMIX modes: PUBLIC, AWP and FUN. Next to each one you can see how many players are in the game right now. Open a mode and you'll get a list of servers with the map and player count. Filters help you hide empty or full servers, and the heart adds a server to your favorites.

Pick skins for free
Open “Skin changer” in the menu on the left. Choose a weapon, knife or gloves, then the skin, wear, pattern, StatTrak™, stickers, charm and name tag - and press “Apply”. If you're already on a server, the skin changes right away. You can pick skins separately for T and CT.

Level up
You earn XP for kills, assists and round wins. There are 100 levels in total, each with its own icon. Your level, progress and detailed stats are in your profile, and the “Leaderboard” shows your place among all players.

Build a collection
Save your skin set as a collection and make it public - other players will be able to like it or apply it to themselves. You can browse and apply other players' collections right in the skin changer.

Change the language
The site language is chosen at the bottom of the menu on the left. When you sign in with Steam, the site language and the in-game menu language are linked: change it on the site and it changes in the game too.
