v1.2.0: Simpler Pricing + New Breakdown Overlays
v1.2.0 Feature Published Feb 28, 2026
Pricing is now easier to read across Builder and Loadout pages: every item shows one clear price, totals are more consistent, and new hover breakdowns explain exactly what is included.
One Clear Price Per Item
- Items now show a single display price using a consistent priority: Tradable first, then Trade-locked, then Suggested
- This simplified pricing rule is now applied consistently across Builder, loadout pages, and social/loadout cards
- Open Graph and shared loadout pricing flows now follow the same one-price selection logic
Loadout Totals You Can Trust
- Loadout total labels no longer use the approximate marker (~) and now show a direct value
- Total color states were simplified: green when priced, orange when any relevant items are missing prices
- Agents and extras no longer affect total color status, so total price confidence reflects weapon and sticker pricing
New Price Breakdown Overlays
- Added compact breakdown overlays to total labels in Builder (Active side + Total) and Loadout Detail (T, CT, Total)
- Each total overlay shows total value, skins, stickers, priced items, and unpriced items
- Added per-item pricing overlays on skin prices showing selected source details (Tradable, Trade-locked, and Suggested when relevant)
Sticker Pricing Visibility
- Item pricing overlays now include a dedicated STICKERS section when stickers are applied
- Sticker entries show per-sticker pricing in the overlay so slot totals are easier to understand
- Sticker summary line colors now match pricing state instead of always showing a warning color
Overlay Positioning + Layering Fixes
- Pricing overlays were reworked to sit above surrounding UI elements and avoid being clipped by cards
- Tooltip positioning is now viewport-aware with better alignment to the hovered price label
- Hover, focus, tap/click, Escape, and outside-click behaviors were standardized for better desktop and touch support
Modal + Hover Polish
- The Save Loadout dialog now handles long loadout lists with an internal scroll area so older entries remain reachable
- Save modal layering was corrected so it appears above the main navigation and applies blur across the whole page
- Weapon hover preview now pauses while hovering the inline price trigger, then reappears immediately when moving back onto the item card
Sticker Buying Clarity
- Sticker value styling in the loadout item dialog now follows pricing state colors instead of a fixed warning color
- Each sticker row in the dialog now includes a clear right-side Buy action when a marketplace link is available
- Rows without a sticker listing now show a neutral no-link state to make availability obvious
v1.1.0: Faster Skin Picker + Extras Pricing Fixes
v1.1.0 Feature Published Feb 27, 2026
This update makes the Builder feel much faster, improves glove and weapon selection flow, and fixes pricing support for extras like agents, pins, and graffiti.
Builder Speed Improvements
- Skin selection now loads in chunks instead of rendering everything at once, which makes the modal more responsive
- Price lookups are now scoped to visible results, reducing heavy background requests when browsing large skin lists
- If only a small number of results remain, the picker now loads them automatically instead of showing an unnecessary extra click
Weapon + Glove Selection UX
- The picker now uses a clearer two-step flow (choose weapon, then choose skin) for categories with multiple options
- Glove cards now use better representative images, including improved defaults for specific glove types (for example Driver Gloves)
- Weapon selection visuals were refined so it is easier to understand what is currently selected
Extras (Agents, Pins, Graffiti, Music Kits)
- Fixed missing prices for extras so these items now resolve and display pricing more reliably
- Improved extras matching and formatting so names map more consistently to marketplace data
- Graffiti names are now cleaned up in the selector by removing the leading "Sealed Graffiti |" label
Color Data + Browsing Consistency
- Color profile enrichment now also covers non-weapon catalogs (agents, music kits, pins, and graffiti)
- Refresh scripts now reuse cached color profiles when possible, so updates are faster after the first run
- Category browsing behavior is now more consistent across weapon and non-weapon item types
Polish + Reliability
- Improved Steam login redirect handling for smoother sign-in flow
- Added a custom error page and refreshed app icons/favicons
- Sitemap and indexing behavior were tightened for cleaner discovery and crawl quality
v1.0.0: Builder + Discover + Loadout Detail Upgrade
v1.0.0 Feature Published Feb 22, 2026
This v1 launch improves how you browse community loadouts, inspect skins, and build sticker crafts, with clearer sorting, pricing context, and mobile-friendly editing.
Loadout Detail Pages
- Added a full skin detail dialog when you open a skin slot on a loadout page
- Skin dialogs now show sticker list, sticker value, and total value with stickers
- You can open price links directly from the dialog, including sticker links and a primary buy button when available
Discover (Loadout Hub)
- Added new sort modes: Trending, Most Liked, Most Commented, Newest, and Recently Updated
- Loadout cards now show ranking position plus item and sticker counts
- Search + pagination now preserve your selected sort mode for easier browsing
Builder Workflow
- Skin picker now supports sorting by Price and Rarity, in addition to Alphabetical and Color Strength
- Color Strength sorting is now only enabled when at least one color filter is selected
- Sticker editing is faster with inline Add/Edit controls directly on each slot (desktop and mobile)
- Sticker editor now opens on the exact sticker slot you clicked and has improved mobile layout
Pricing + Stock Skin Clarity
- Default/Stock selections now use dedicated stock handling instead of showing misleading market prices
- Stock selections now display base weapon art where available for clearer visual context

Navigation + UX Polish

- Loadout slot empty states are now clearer with category-specific labels (for example, No Rifle Selected)
Sticker Crafts + Better Price Links
v0.9.0 Published Feb 21, 2026
You can now add up to 5 stickers per gun in the Builder, with sticker values included in your estimated market value, plus cleaner item-link behavior across pricing views.
Sticker Support in Builder
- You can now apply up to 5 stickers per gun
- Sticker prices are included in pricing totals, so each applied sticker increases that gun's value and your estimated loadout market value
- Sticker browsing now includes faster search behavior and clearer selection feedback
Sticker Pricing + Preview UX
- Sticker prices are now linkable to Skinport from the sticker picker, just like weapon prices
- Hover previews now show your applied sticker craft chips and sticker add-on value more clearly
Price Links
- Clicking a skin / sticker price now more reliably opens the exact item page
- When a direct item page is not available, we now fall back more cleanly to the matching market page or search page
- Links are now more consistent for tricky variants like StatTrak, Souvenir, and wear-specific skins
Pricing Accuracy
- Price data handling was improved so displayed prices and links stay better aligned
- We improved fallback handling for items with limited live listings
- This reduces cases where prices were shown but links were less useful
Reliability
- Pricing sync now captures more link-ready item details so links stay stable over time
- Improved handling of older pricing records to keep behavior consistent during the rollout
Social Feedback, Faster Navigation Feel, and Anti-Spam Limits
v0.7.0 Published Feb 13, 2026
We added clearer social action feedback, improved loading feedback while navigating, and tightened anti-spam rate limits across comments, likes, and loadout editing.
Social Feedback
- Liking and commenting now give clearer immediate feedback with button/count animations
- Posting a comment or reply now shows success feedback, and failed social actions show clear error feedback
- Milestone celebrations were added for social moments, with reduced-motion support respected
Navigation + Loading

Skin Color Filters + Palette Data
v0.4.0 Published Feb 12, 2026
We improved skin color filtering, made pricing more reliable, and added clearer price signals across the builder and loadout pages.
What’s New
- Skin color data is now richer and better weighted, so color filtering is more accurate
- Color matching is more consistent, helping similar skins show up together more reliably
Browse + Search
- The skin picker now uses a compact filter bar for Colors, Wear, and Sort instead of a large always-open filter block
- Colors open in a focused panel with quick min-weight presets (0.05, 0.15, 0.30) plus slider/input controls
- Preferred wear is now a sticky, always-visible quick selector on the results bar for faster switching
- Removed duplicate wear controls from the config panel to simplify the flow
- Added a color-strength sort option to rank skins by how strongly they match your selected colors
- Active filters are shown as removable chips so you can edit filters quickly
- A sticky result summary now shows exactly which filters are active and how many skins match
- Color, sort, and preferred wear settings stay active while switching weapons in the same builder session
- Fixed sticky filter bar height jump when only wear preference changed and Clear all became enabled
Why This Matters
- Makes it easier to find skins that match a target look
- Creates better input data for future AI-assisted loadout building
- Keeps filtering logic consistent between backend and frontend use cases
Fixes
- Wear selection now behaves as a preference: choosing a wear (for example, Minimal Wear) keeps all skins visible and automatically picks the closest supported wear when an exact match is unavailable
- Fixed wear selection regression where the chosen wear filter did not apply correctly on skin selection
- Updated cursor behavior globally so clickable elements consistently show pointer affordance and text inputs show text-entry affordance
- Standardized spacing/width rhythm for top heading sections across Builder, Discover, and Patch Notes pages
- Aligned visibility state and updated timestamp on one row in My Loadouts cards for clearer metadata scanning
- Simplified loadout card timestamps to clean relative time labels (for example, "3 hours ago")
Pricing Updates
- Pricing now checks both tradable and non-tradable live listings, so fewer skins show as missing
- Fallback pricing was improved so more skins still show a usable value when live supply is limited
- Matching for harder name variants was improved to reduce false "No price" states
- Each skin now shows a clearer price state (live, fallback, or unavailable)
- Builder and loadout detail now show a secondary green comparison value when a tradable live price is available
- Tradable comparison can now show partial totals with + notation when some values are missing
- Loadout cards and OG images now consistently show a single canonical cheapest total in green for cleaner sharing and browsing
- Skin hover preview now includes price and comparison values, and adds an explicit Shift + Scroll zoom hint
