Available only for items that have a designated [[Grade]], '''Item Grade Trade-Up''' allows players to exchange ten [[Decorated]] weapons or certain [[cosmetic items]] of one grade for an item of the next higher grade. It is accessible via a sub-menu in the backpack, either through inspecting a valid Trade-Up item, an empty space in the backpack, or the [[Soul Gargoyle]]<!-- Yes, the Soul Gargoyle offers the Item Grade Trade-Up function.-->.
 +
 
 +
Trade-Up requires ten weapons or cosmetics of the same grade. Weapons may be of any exterior wear, but must all be of the same grade (Civilian, Freelance, Mercenary, etc.). [[Strange]] items may also be accepted, although [[Unusual]] items are prohibited.
 +
 
 +
After confirming the input of the required number of items, the player receives one item of the next higher grade. The resulting item is selected at random from one of the same collection(s) as the originating items; submitting multiple items from a single collection will guarantee receiving an item from the next higher grade of that collection. If all submitted items were Strange, then the output is also Strange. For example, if {{tooltip|8 Space Hamster Hammys, 1 Burstchester, and 1 Cold Case|The 3 kinds of items are all in Assassin grade, Space Hamster Hammy and Burstchester are from Confidential Collection, Cold Case is from Blue Moon Cosmetics Collection.}} are selected, then the result will be an elite grade item from either the Confidential Collection Case or the Blue Moon Cosmetics Collection. However, the result will most likely be from the Confidential Collection Case because there are more items from that crate.
 +
 
 +
In the case of Decorated weapons, the exterior wear of the received weapon is the same as the wear of one of the items from the same collection. For example, inputting one Battle Scarred, one Well-Worn, one Field-Tested, one Minimal Wear, and six Factory New items from the same collection will result in a random wear on the output item, however, it will have a higher chance to be Factory New since there were more Factory New items in the trade up. If the trade-up had five Battle Scarred skins from the Pyroland Collection and five Factory New skins from the Warbird Collection the wear on the output item will be Factory New if it's from the Warbird Collection and Battle Scarred if from Pyroland.

Trade-Up refers to a feature that allows players to trade multiple unwanted items in their backpack for a chance at receiving a new, possibly better item. It is applicable only in specific situations.


Item Grade Trade-Up

The Item Grade Trade-Up Menu

Available only for items that have a designated Grade, Item Grade Trade-Up allows players to exchange ten Decorated weapons or certain cosmetic items of one grade for an item of the next higher grade. It is accessible via a sub-menu in the backpack, either through inspecting a valid Trade-Up item, an empty space in the backpack, or the Soul Gargoyle.

Trade-Up requires ten weapons or cosmetics of the same grade. Weapons may be of any exterior wear, but must all be of the same grade (Civilian, Freelance, Mercenary, etc.). Strange items may also be accepted, although Unusual items are prohibited.

After confirming the input of the required number of items, the player receives one item of the next higher grade. The resulting item is selected at random from one of the same collection(s) as the originating items; submitting multiple items from a single collection will guarantee receiving an item from the next higher grade of that collection. If all submitted items were Strange, then the output is also Strange. For example, if 8 Space Hamster Hammys, 1 Burstchester, and 1 Cold Case are selected, then the result will be an elite grade item from either the Confidential Collection Case or the Blue Moon Cosmetics Collection. However, the result will most likely be from the Confidential Collection Case because there are more items from that crate.

In the case of Decorated weapons, the exterior wear of the received weapon is the same as the wear of one of the items from the same collection. For example, inputting one Battle Scarred, one Well-Worn, one Field-Tested, one Minimal Wear, and six Factory New items from the same collection will result in a random wear on the output item, however, it will have a higher chance to be Factory New since there were more Factory New items in the trade up. If the trade-up had five Battle Scarred skins from the Pyroland Collection and five Factory New skins from the Warbird Collection the wear on the output item will be Factory New if it's from the Warbird Collection and Battle Scarred if from Pyroland.
